Theres alot of s**te being spoken about the reductions in Police numbers...
as an ex Cop myself in the area I worked in, a reduction of 24 officers would only see a reduction of 1 on duty at any one time and that number isn't across a whole force area. For my force which was mainly rural, a reduction of 80 officers across the force would translate to 1 on duty across all areas of the force at any one time.
Scale that up over the 43 forces in England and Wales and the numbers being bandied about don't equal a noticeable reduction in Police presence across the country.
The recent attacks are nothing to do with Police numbers anyway. Any one of us could take a knife, jump in our car and go and mow down and stab a few people if we were so minded. Its virtually impossible to predict or to stop, because it takes little or no planning, preparation or purchase of materials etc.
Corbyn and Abbott.......give me strength!
Last one to leave the UK, switch off the lights, if those two clowns get power this week!
