LOCAL policing 24 June, 2007

This morning I drove 400yds down Bury New road and with amazement counted more than 17 police vans. It dawned on me the commies here have the coronation of their unelected leader today.Fair enough, far be it from me to rain on their parade (Manchester will sort that out) but I do wonder who will pick up the bill for policing this event. The 2005 Labour party conference cost “£3.589.097 million the cost is recovered from the Home Office and not from individual political parties” said Sussex police.When local civic, religious and school groups as much as ask to walk down the high street they are requested to fork out hundreds sometimes thousands of pounds.When we have our local police station closed and are in the middle of an unsolved spate of burglaries can this really be just?
