Spending Review: Osborne refuses to rule out police cuts

Police cuts: Terror response warning to home secretary

It is expected that Chancellor George Osborne could announce cuts to the police budget of more than 20% when he addresses Parliament on Wednesday.

That is more than double what the document suggests is viable to keep numbers at the level required in the event of an attack.

The BBC has seen key paragraphs of the document, Implications of the Paris Attack for UK Police Preparedness.

It suggests further cuts to police budgets would affect the authorities' ability to respond to multiple attacks.

Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We can barely cope now.

"If there are going to be further cuts to the police service, quite frankly, God help us. We are not going to be able to respond to something on the scale of Paris."

Forget the Clown Corbyn, this man has the power and with no credible oppostion, is imposing ideologically driven policies on this country. Yes, it is a given that he will seek to reduce the benefits for the poor and the disabled, yes it is a given he will not seek to curb the greed of the City, Big Business and the wealthy but did the people who voted for him really expect him to slash the services they hold dear: police, local council services, etc.

The people who voted for the Tories are starting to possibly regret giving Dave a majority .. when Dave had to work with the LibDems there was a small degree of control, now, in the immortal words of Corporal Frasier: 'We're doomed!"

I'd say there's a motive and an end goal behind this police budget thing.

they want complete chaos. so they can step in and introduce more powers because of the future mayhem that is to hit the British streets.

remember the majority of laws that keep us safe in this country have to be upheld by the police. if there's no police, or the few we have have to prioritise crime. then you can be certain that the crime you're experiencing will be at the bottom of the queue.

Remember "Touch me and I'll call the police"
well he'll say in reply with a grin now "What police?"

that's where self policing will have to be introduced.

l am not going to get political here but in order to keep this country safe in the long run we really should not be cutting the police services increasingly to the bone because to do so in my utter opinion would be absolute folly.

There was no one else to vote for at the last election. Shame that labour have shafted us by electing a total knob as leader. Now we don't have an opposition to speak of either.

[Kabaal]

Next up a private police force funded by corporations.

We yes it is Labours fault, Milliband failed to persuade the electorate to vote for Labour. The electorate need a reason. Only the most soft minded will vote blindly for a party " just because"

Oh gawd no. That's just part of the problem. The government is the main problem.

[denphone]

Sadly with no reasonable opposition this government will continue it overzealous ideological policies relentlessly in these next 5 to 10 years and one has to fear for what the future holds for many people in this country even for people who voted Conservative at the last election.

George Osborne has scrapped planned cuts to tax credits altogether - rather than ease their impact - in his Spending Review...

...He also pledged real terms increases to police funding - after speculation it would be cut.

Your hyperbole was premature....

Had there been no outcry on tax credits and the police cuts, these would have gone ahead so my premise still stands

You are forgetting he *did* try and push these through: he wanted to do it but got caught out with his hands in the till ...

How can it be? You asked "is he", not "could he be"? The things you said that would make him the most dangerous person aren't happening, so your initial premise was flawed.

Strange, isn't it - people listen to what people have to say, and they change things, they still get pilloried.

They don't listen/change, they are cold-hearted villains.

[Osem]

They're all evil Tories so what would you expect?...

No.
if he wanted to kill people and it was only the intervention of others that stopped him.
and he wanted to carry on killing other people and it's always down to the intervention of others that makes his dangerous ideas and intentions unachievable.
then he is dangerous.
and would likely be locked up because he would be classed as dangerous and a risk to society.

He bottled it big time.I thought that he had the guts to scrap all these "bribes" to people,child tax,working tax credits.Credit means you pay it back these so called "credits" do not get paid back.You can earn up to £50,000 a year and still get portions of these credits.Austerity what austerity.
