    According to Crest, there are now just 3.88 officers for every 1,000 people - down from 4.42 in 2010.

    And I’ll be those officers are under equipt compared to how they would have been in the past. It’s no wonder they’re just there to give it reference numbers so you can go to your insurance now.

    I can’t believe people feel for the Tory austerity lies, then have continued to fall for their shit for a further decade.

      The police officers we do have left are also stuck shuffling papers at the station because we’ve also lost 20,000+ police support staff.
