Thanks to the Tory government country wide; Full-time equivalent (FTE) police officers in the 43 forces stood at 134,101 at the end of March - a fall of 5,009 officers (3.6%) compared to a year earlier.
In London Boris Johnson admitted he had broken an election pledge. Officer numbers were on the up when Boris took over in 2008, thanks to the last budget set by Boris’s predecessor Ken Livingstone. There were as many as 33,404 in November 2009, but then the numbers began to fall.
So even if Boris had hit his target of 32,398 officers on the books in May 2012, that would still mean that he had cut more than 1,000 from that high point 30 months earlier.
Boris said “Making our streets and homes safer with 1,000 more police on the beat.” during the mayoral election.
In other words Boris is a LIAR
As well as Andrew Mitchell, George Osborne also let the Tory 'we are all in this together' mask slip yesterday after refusing to move from first class to a second hand carriage and sit with the 'plebs' who voted him into office; his aide also initially refused to pay for an upgrade. A clear example of, "one rule for him, and one rule for the rest of us". I know if it were a 'pleb' like me, I would be prosecuted for fair evasion. I have seen this happen on trains, on a couple of occasions.
Mr. Osborne said "We are all in this together". In other words Mr. Osborne is a LIAR
