Original Note:
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
