Oh Mrs May Whatever HAVE You Done?

Reading Time: 4 minutes Oh Mrs May Whatever HAVE You Done? Don’t worry, she hasn’t done anything new, I just thought I’d take a slightly different look at the long term effects of her, now infamous, Police Reforms, just over 10 years later.

Reading Time: 4 minutes “I have to tell you that this kind of scaremongering does nobody any good” “This crying wolf has to stop.” “No direct correlation between certain crimes and police numbers” All of these quotes come from Theresa May.

It’s The Cuts, That’s All

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Armed Forces are at their lowest strength since before the Second World War.  Successive Strategic Defence Reviews have seen to that.  Only this week we waved goodbye to HMS Illustrious, off to a scrapyard somewhere.  Heaven knows when her replacement will be in situ with some fast jets aboard.  It’s the cuts you know,
