Does he know something we don't ?. anyone got any ideas why??? It sounds pretty sensible to me. You don't have to use them unless they are needed. It is when they are needed and you don't have them that you look bonkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mecky 10 #7 Posted January 8, 2014 It sounds pretty sensible to me. You don't have to use them unless they are needed. It is when they are needed and you don't have them that you look bonkers.

puisseguin 10 #8 Posted January 8, 2014 The question is why does he think they will be needed? Probably because of this. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/201...don_riots.html There is a lot of low life scum about. It is rather like nuclear weapons. They are very unpopular amongst folk who might cause them to be used. I expect there are a lot of folk who would prefer he didn't take precautions so if there are riots where water cannon would be needed they could say he wasn't prepared.

LeMaquis 10 #11 Posted January 8, 2014 It's a bit like building up coal stocks before a miner's strike. A bit pointless building up coal stocks if only one miner is out on strike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
