00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, everyone welcome, it's Andy again and I want to

2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>find a story today. It's basically ridiculous in the in

3
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>this state of affairs at the moment, especially in London. Well,

4
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>we did a a story just recently and that was

5
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 1>about the airplanes being grounded. That's why fair enough, you

6
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>know nothing to do with this story, of course. But

7
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>now the Met Office, so the Met Police, even their

8
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>flying Squad, is to have their guns taken away. So

9
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>for all these problems on the streets of London the

10
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Met Police, whether they do, whether they don't, yeah, but

11
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they want to have the guns taken away to save money,

12
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>which is ridiculous. I think the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad

13
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>will have their firearms taken away as part of a

14
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>cost cut and measure. It has been reported offices in

15
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the squad fought against the decision and are said to

16
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>be devastated by the move. It comes as a Met

17
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 1>please face a two hundred and sixty million pound gap

18
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 1>in its funding and cuts needed to close it. However,

19
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Barry Phillips of the Flying Squad Association criticized that the

20
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>move to take guns away from the officers. He told

21
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 1>us and armed robbers will be laughing there sucks off.

22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Formed in nineteen eighteen, the Flying Squad as a reputation

23
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>for catching criminals in London, including kidnappers and robbers. Very quickly,

24
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll share offices in the Squad tracked down suddenly stole

25
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the banks he printed worth two hundred and seventy thousand pounds.

26
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>The man was found within hours of the bobby at

27
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>the art gallery where it was taken from, and mister

28
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Phillips said, crime tends to change and we need to

29
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>change with it, but we can't if we've not got

30
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the guns. Petition. Decision to take away guns is the

31
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>end of the Squad as we know it. The met

32
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>was contented for coming but not made a
