Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that the problems with the Metropolitan Police seem to get ever worse and that it needs root-and-branch reform, while vetting needs to be improved and standardised. With UK Government debt interest payments of £7bn a month, he asks how bad things have to get before politicians here – and elsewhere – realise the system needs a refresh. And he can't help finding it amusing that Winnie the Pooh is seen as such a threat to Xi Jinping that a film involving him has been banned in Hong Kong.
