“Water cannons,” said Labour’s Paul Flynn.
“What about them?”
“Why has it taken more than a year for her to reach a decision on whether they should be used in this country?”
“They require a great deal of testing and re-testing.”
“How do you test and re-test a water cannon?” Vaz interrupted. “Surely you just point it at people and they fall over? Or not? And why couldn’t she just use the same evidence other countries had used?” May chose to ignore that.
“
The mayor of London has bought three water-cannons at a cost of £250,000,” Flynn added. “What would happen if she were not to give her approval.” May’s smile suggested that were that to be the case then Boris would look even more like a muppet.'
Nice to know that while many don't have a home in London someone has put a roof over the heads of £750K worth of useless water cannon.
