You cannot dismantle social cohesion & expect policing by consent to magically survive intact. #UKPolitics 022

Different communities living by different social norms, distrusting institutions and retreating into their own identities is toxic to a policing model built on shared legitimacy. #SocialCohesion 143
Reposted by Winds Light To VariableMikey/Leon or Sonic when it’s crunch time @lordofthevan.wsocial.eu · 07/09/20261/6 Britain’s policing model is built on consent.
