This is what 14 Years of Spending Cuts gets You

Whoa there, you claim the Tories wanted to cut public spending! This may come as a shock, but the Tories aint in government. It's Starmers Stasi who are in charge now, and boy are Labour voters going to regret that lol.

I wonder, how long are you going to say 'it's because of the previous government'? Let me tell you something, this government have already pissed off most of the people who voted for them, but that's nothing. Just wait until it gets cold, wait until the autumn when people realise they cant afford to heat their homes and Milliband is telling them that being cold is saving the planet. LOL, I cant wait.

we could of got in 4 yrs ago but we had barmy corbyn has labour leader 

Indeed, but the thing is TTL, Corbyn was more popular than Starmer. Yes it's the truth, Corbyn lost the 2019 election with 40% of the vote, Starmer won with 34%. Hardly an endorsment of Labour popularity. 

Clearly you don't understand what a hung parliament is, not to worry. Yes indeed Labour have caved in to their union paymasters and lets face it, who didn't see that comming. The thing is who's going to pay for it? I guess we'll find out in October when this anti English minority appeasing government become even less popular, if that's possible.  

Í think the last few weeks/months have shown that it's not lack of funding that has caused the police to be completely ineffectual. The Met (and many other police forces) seem to have loads of police if it wants. When they want to shut down the "far Right" or Tommy Robinson and friends they come out in force. It's just when they have to do some "real" policing, like clamping down on shoplifting or protecting the public, that there's no one available. And this is because the people who are running the police are liberal lefty idealogues who are better suited to a job in left wing politics. THey know little about policing because they were fast tracked from Oxbridge.

And this problem is further exacerbated by the fact that if the police ever do try to clamp down on law breakers they had better be bloody careful they don't use "excessive force" or they'll be sacked. The Chief Constables will never support them.

I could also add that the reason that the police had their budget cut (by the useless Mrs May) was because they claimed that crime had gone down. It's almost funny in a way. The police fiddled the figures so much (to meet govt targets) that it looked like crime had gone down. It was a lie of course but you can hardly blame an idiot like May for cutting their budget.

Also, of course, Sadiq Khan has to take a lot of the blame for the performance of the Met. He's their Commissioner and he's done a bloody awful job.

Indeed , one of the Mayor of London's key responsibilities is setting the priorities of policing and agreeing with the policing budget . Though government funding has fallen under the Tories the shortfall is always and has always been made up by London ratepayers .

So though government funding has fallen by something like 30% Londoners are paying double what they were when Khan took office in 2016 . Next years council taxpayers and business rate payers will be paying a record £1.148 billion for policing so though where the money is coming from has changed the Mets incompetence has nothing to do with funding but with its leadership 

And the buck stops with Khan
