Yet again, football hooligans have gone on the rampage, at Millwall, causing mayhem and a large amount of damage to property while the police try to maintain order on horseback and on foot, resulting in a large number of horses and officers injured.
When will the police stop using 19th-Century tactics and resort to modern methods of riot control, such as water cannon and tear gas, which have such success on the Continent?
Why is this country forever behind the times?
