The call by Jeremy Corbyn for May's resignation after the London Bridge attack was very quickly back-tracked upon by Corbyn (You see Shaw he's allowed to change his mind as well) for very good reasons.

The resignation was called for because as Home Secretary Theresa May had reduced the number of police officers in England by 20,000 and according to Corbyn & Co., that was what made the terrorist attacks easier. Unfortunately AFTER the resignation call went out people did some checking and found out the following:

1. Those 20,000 officers would not have made any difference at all - In the same time frame anti-terrorist police resources had been increased by May.

2. Corbyn takes great pride in boasting that he has consistently voted AGAINST every piece of anti-terrorist legislation put in front of him.

3. John McDonnell supported by Corbyn has called for both M.I.5 and police firearms units to be disbanded completely. Both these units are essential in anti-terrorist operations.

Corbyn's crocodile tears and Band-Aid plaster response and solution that emerged after Manchester and London was a Laboour pledge to put 10,000 more police on the streets - So did Theresa May only get it half wrong? The reason the numbers of police officers had to be reduced was because of the complete and utter bollocks the Labour Government from 1997 to 2010 had made of the country's finances - there was no money to pay for them.
