I am sure they will be calling people in, with extra overtime and double shifts, but these things take time to organise.

l was just stating that the Met police had that amount of personal and perhaps after the first day they should have been more prepared for the second and third day of riots and perhaps you should have thought more yesterday when l stated that David Cameron should be back in this country and you said l was going over the top in asking for thim to be back in this country well hindsight is a wonderful thing Hugh for both of us as things can develop
very quickly before our eyes but lets give praise to David Cameron for cutting short his holiday and returning forthwith to this country and all we need now is for the police to become more forceful with these idiots.
