Well isn't that odd. It was only a few weeks ago in last October that the Prime Minister was reported as saying
“Rather than introducing new laws, what you need to do is enforce the existing laws.”

Mr Johnson added: “To be perfectly frank, if you simply widen the scope of what you ask the police to do, you’ll just increase the problem.”
