Cameron: We need to learn lessons rapidly
The prime minister comments from South Korea on the violence during the student protest yesterday which saw protestors storm the building containing Conservative Campaign Headquarters(CCHQ):
“I thought it was extremely serious. I could see a line, a thin blue line, of extremely brave police officers trying to hold back a bunch of people who were intent on violence and destruction.
“I think we need to learn the lessons rapidly.
“I think the police themselves have said that the problem here was about the planning, was about the intelligence, was about the resourcing of that particular operation.
“I am quite convinced that the reductions in police spending that we’re making can actually be done without losing the visibility and the activity of the police officers on our streets.”
