Police

here we go again.

That nice Mr Cameron told us that front line services would not be cut, it doesn't take a maths degree to figure out that less police officers = a smorgasbord for crims.

It would have been NO DIFFERENT under Gordon....

Did I say it would have been?
I merely pointed out that what was said and what was done were 2 entirely different things. Mr Brown is not in charge. Mr Cameron is.

And Gordon always told the truth?? In fact have ANY Politicians told the truth all the time???

 

[trev]

Did I say he did?
I know politicians lie and twist and turn but Brown has been punished by the electorate as I hope Cameron will be very soon.

Hmmmmm.......I wonder who I should blame for the fact that nationally there are 18,000 less front line police officers in 2014 than there were in 2010

Tony Blair is to blame mate.

Of course, how silly of me to forget.

Of course its Tony's fault.

He was in charge and Gordon, his right hand man, maxed out on the company credit card! - the buck stops at the top!

Personally I don't mind police not recording a crime as long as it works both ways,a couple of years ago I had a car vandalised on my drive,rang the police and they were not interested,fine say's I I'll find out who did it and break his legs.Well say's plod in that case we'll arrest you for assault,my reply was along the lines of "well if you did your job then I wouldn't have to do it for you".
Incidentally when the police was formed there was a caveat in the legislation that if it ever came to the point where the police where unable to protect the populace then the people had the right to take back the job of protecting themselves.As far as I am aware this is enshrined in law and cannot be altered,in which case someone in government had better sit up and start taking notice,because the way things are heading legalised vigilantism cannot be too far away.

I agree they lent far to much money to Blair and Brown's government without doing a proper credit and reality check

The same is probably true for most governments though

Looks that way to me mate.

Gordon Brown can be blamed, quite rightly, for many, many things, but to blame him solely for the global crash is a bit far fetched even for me!
