When I heard last week that the Police service will need to make spending cuts, the obvious objection would be it will mean cutting back officers on the streets and crime will increase.
And, of course, it has been said. And it makes sense. From what I understand, the number of officers out there has been increasing in recent years and crime has fallen. To be honest, as they say, it's not rocket science!
But we have to make cuts! So the number of officers will be reduced and crime will go up. Then what will happen? There will be research into why crime is increasing. Consultants will be wheeled in. Long reports will be written and the "bottom line" of the reports will be there that needs to be more police out there on the streets.
And the consultants that were brought in will go away with massive fees and expenses and will be laughing all the way to the bank. But that's democracy for you.
