Surely, I thought, this must be parody. But I was wrong! In support of the Left’s new defund-the-police mantra, Godfrey Elfwick wrote (June 9, 2020) the following paragraph in the article titled “Imagine No Police Force” in The Spectator, a 192-year-old British journal: I’m hearing inane questions such as ‘But what if my house is […]
