There are no water cannons in Great Britain. The 3 bought for the Metropolitan Police by Boris Johnson in 2014 were scrapped by Sadiq Khan in 2018 (a waste of £300,000). The Police Service of Northern Ireland has 6, but such appliances have never been used in Great Britain. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-46258584 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-use-of-force-statistics-for-northern-ireland-period-ending-31-march-2024

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1820152850715988008

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
