Border Police

David Cameron has announced today that the Conservatives under the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens would undertake a working group into the creation of a border police.

David Cameron said in his speech that "Right now, our society is not properly defended against the drug dealers, people smugglers, gun importers and terrorists who find it all too easy to bypass the current system.

No single organisation is responsible for performing this vital task.

Instead we have at least six separate agencies, including Revenue and Customs, the Immigration Service, the security services, harbour police, Soca (Serious and Organised Crime Agency), and the Metropolitan Police."

I believe that it is the duty of the government to protect the borders of the state and this government has failed in this.
