Changing British policing

I was two trains upstream from the tube that was blown up between Kings Cross and Russell Sqare on 7/7. If I hadn't got up 10 minutes later than normal, I could easily have been on that train. So my mind was very much focused on the new situation Britain finds itself in, where one religious grouping has basically declared independance from, and a long-term war on the rest of us. I thought about various types of institutional and non-institutional ways of meeting this threat- tube marshals, like the air marshals; local militias; a new type of dedicated police to hunt down these guys before they get to strike. But none of these seemed really to fit the task.

I now believe that a reserve police force, based on the concept of the 'Specials', is the best short term solution to the Muslim jihadi. It would be very large, perhaps 2 million men. All would be trained to use firearms. All would be given the same length and rigour of training as the current Police force. They would also receive specific training in combating suicide bombers and armed jihadis. All would be issued handguns and a permit to carry it concealed. This 'new Specials' force would do regular Police shifts, although not many hours a week. The rest of the time, they would be on standby. They would be spread geographically across the whole of the UK, so the likelihood of terrorists being able to attack unhindered would significantly diminish. Also, they would provide an 'instanct action force' should attacks be mounted and require a response.

Of course, it goes without saying that Muslims would not be eligible to join the force. If you think this is unreasonable or discriminatory, read this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6284231.stm
Muslims are trying hard to dhimmify Britain, to make it conform to Sharia whether it likes it or not. There is no good reason why we should do so. In the same way that MI5 and MI6 would be completely stupid to employ Muslims when most of the current threat comes from their co-religionists, the idea that a Muslim Policeman or Policewoman will behave in the public interest rather than according to their religion is the genuinely silly proposition.

This 'new Specials' force would also democratise the fight against Islamic terrorism, and would help British people get out of their instinct to just stand by and watch as terrible things are done.
