Like yours, our leaders are blind to the situation too. This may be happenstance, sloth or incompetence, but nothing ever seems to get done. Curiously, when our leaders step outside the nice calm environment of their office(s) or parliament, everywhere they go is in the company of a coterie of thuggish bodyguards.

It’s little wonder that our leaders do zip about crime – they never have to experience it.

There is a school of thought here that suggests that if you want to get the attention of your MP, or political leaders, take their bodyguards away.

I can’t find fault with that.
