      If demand exceeds supply you have to ration resources. You can’t reduce police resources & then criticise them for not doing everything. For same reason, frontline officers are being prevented from delivering the service they want to give & then they’re being criticised. Unfair.

      Of course nothing to do with 350k new residents coming into the country annually. Like the rest of the essential servicesi struggling to provide services. If you don't know what the target is how can you plan for those services?

      The taxes paid to U.K. government by foreign workers far exceeds the increased cost of providing public services to them so it has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with government deciding not to spend increased taxation on policing (housing, NHS, ...)

          Policing is locally financed through Council tax. I also dispute your claims about taxation. The majority of those are EU migrants who are low skilled and would fall below the tax threshold. Please supply supporting reference from Inland Revenue. You can't because they refuse

          70% of police funding is provided by Central Government. Sorry but I don’t debate with people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

          Oh of course I forgot you are part of the elite. You of course are superior to us. You have learned nothing from recent events but your lesson is coming. I look forward to not having to listen to your crap.
