re: #18 Walter L. Newton

No I wasn’t missing anything. Considering the lack of training, these men did what was in the best interest for them, not put themselves in danger.

Exactly my point — proof positive that England is ruined as a nation.

When even the police, fire and rescue personnel do only what is in THEIR best interests, then the thin blue line has been totally erased.

We pay (and respect) these men to RISK THEIR LIVES to save other people. If that is no longer part of the job description, then England should just throw in the towel and should just dismantle the police and fire departments entirely. Why waste money one useless dilettantes more concerned with saving their own skins?
