May steps in to rescue London ...

Absolutely, although whether there are still some better targets left in the civil service and the quangos I'm not so sure.

I think my brilliant solution would be to combine the emergency services. Basically they spend much of their time sitting about waiting for something to happen and very often, accidents, violent crimes or riots, they attend the same places. Combining them would raise the productive hours and reduce vehicles, coordination, radios etc.. Abolish regions, so they could respond to anything within a 100 mile radius.

PS For SY's benefit edited above to insert violent crimes
PPS Oh yes and just stuck an apostrophe in for Daily Mail readers

Either way this is completely of Liebour doing - loaded up the country with debt, fecked up revenues with high taxes, the only logical outcome from this is public sector cuts

Those forces alone will lose more than 5,000 frontline officers, with Greater Manchester Police forced to shed just under 1,600 – almost as many as London’s Metropolitan Police, which will axe just over 1,900. West Midlands Police will cut an estimated 1,250 of 8,500 frontline staff.

Well, if the police in full riot gear just waits for some young scumbags to loot stores until they (scumbags) get bored and go home then might as well cut the costs.

THERESA May’s cuts have left Police forces battling against the tightest cash squeeze in a generation.

After the money police get from council tax, the average force in England and Wales will have 14% less cash in 2015 than today.

But the pain will not been spread evenly. City of London Police is worst hit with a 19% income drop in the next four years after losing £21.4million. Many large forces will also be hit with cuts of more than 15% .

so we can expect 14% more riots in 2015 than we have today ?

Still 1000's of the ****ers on the motorway looking for people commuting at 71 mph though.

Sack the police and bring in the army.

Sorted.
