HOW long do we have to wait for someone with more than two brain cells to use them?

Just another example of the Government’s one-eyed economical cuts can be seen in the cost of paying 2,000 police officers Jobseekers Allowance, plus the cost of processing the prosecution of a much-swollen crime rate, against the cost of keeping them in work.

It’s no use saying the crime rate will stay as it is. Some say there is not enough police presence now.

Most of us understand that we all will feel some discomfort from the Government measures, but public safety should not be compromised.
