I WAS disgusted to read of the 76 per cent doled out to the police. If the police force were worth the increase, all right, but where are they?
We don't see them patrolling the streets day or night. If we see a panda car it's racing somewhere with lights flashing.
This increase means my husband and I will have a heck of a lot more to pay out of our meagre pensions every week. I begrudge every penny taken from our pensions to pay the police force.
It is about time Tony Blair thought about the pensioners instead of all the big rises going to "Lord Mucks" and company bosses.
