If this Country stopped masquerading as a World Power, stopped getting into wars we can't win, junked Nuclear Deterrents we are never gonna use, curtailed overseas aid we can't afford and all the damned rest of it. Perhaps there would be enough left in the kitty to afford the manpower and resources the Police need in order to do a proper job. Maybe open up all those disused Police Stations to re-establish a long gone presence. Maybe we could build some badly needed prisons. Maybe we could even afford to fill in a few pot holes.
Things have fallen apart in the UK while that skint pillock Brown lauds it up at G20 conferences.
