If the Tories were honest they would have maintained police numbers and cut pay by 6% year on year. This is more or less what has happened to wages since 1982. The otherwise excellent PC Rathband was dearrested recently in his £300K house. The going recruitment pay in the market is about £20K. In other jobs they kick out expensive experience and recruit on the cheap. I don't approve but such is the way of this economic world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-83853922635371108482011-09-08T14:14:14.481+01:002011-09-08T14:14:14.481+01:00These "Government spending cuts" are tak...These "Government spending cuts" are taking on more and more of the atmosphere of the "climate change" and "Political correctness" religions.<br /><br />I can fully see, that it was exactly such delussions, and "public preasure" that lead to old Mary Scoggins, herbalist and midwife of the Parish, and thousands, HUNDREDS of thousands of others like her, being burned at the stake.
