There used to be a police station in Barnes just for police to escort diplomats, but, when the money ran-out it closed and that's surely a good thing. A few years ago there were riots in Clapham, partly because of lack of money spent on policing; word went around that shoplifters could get away with it if they all did it together under cover of riot.
Unfortunately there is still a lot of money spent on diplomatic protection police and an extra-huge amount spent today. Today the cabinet state that they will cancel police leave and ask volunteer speical constables help guard an un-necessary visit by a foreign dignitary. So they are spending other peoples' volunteer time and chances of leave as well as money, as well as holding up the traffic and preventing people from doing business and paying taxes, but mainly they are spending money.
I'm off the subject of elections in Richmond Park because most parties seem to to have the same fault, so maybe nobody will read this but I'm curious.
What part of "no money" does the cabinet not understand?
