they should appeal to…the police
This argument is particularly disgusting in light of this week’s headlines
Maybe one of the reasons the Met is such a cesspit is because there has been a concerted effort by the mainstream of politics and media to make support-for-the-police automatic and essentially unquestioning, and to try and put persistent and rigorous criticism of police and policing outside of normal politics
There's an argument that Labour shouldn't appeal directly to voters if they want to win an election, they should appeal to Rupert Murdoch, the police, the military etc etc.
