Sounds a lot ruder than pathetic Blair.

From the article
quote:
Ministers acknowledged that every £100 million taken from police budgets equates to the loss of between 2,000 and 3,000 police jobs - either officers, civilian support officers or administrative staff.
Wouldn't it be better to cut the money by cutting the amount of pointless paperwork people have to do? I don't know if the police have a lot of this, but if they are anything like other organisations in the 21st century then rather than being able to spend the majority of one's time actually DOING the job, an awful lot of it is wasted on filling in forms, writing reports, keeping "Quality Assurance" files updated, producing mounds and mounds of paper, then paying extra people to shuffle this paper around, then paying for storage facilities where all this paperwork can be safely ignored for the next millenium.

Sorry about the rant, but it's getting near the summer hols and the paperwork is piling up! If Dingo is still around I'd be interested to hear if the police suffer from the same problem.

Valhalla, I am coming!
