I must say that I have been surprised by present tories and their attitudes regarding Policing.
Recently in London during the Mayoral elections it became obvious that Boris had cut the number of Police in the Capital in comparison to when reptile Ken was in charge. During the Riots we had to be calling in reinforcements from all over the country.
I for one would be more than happy to see a huge reduction in foreign aid especially as we are all tightening our belts at the moment.
I'm sure someone said that in times of recession crime figures go up so it would make sense to increase the numbers of Police on the street.
