Don't forget that the Police, and others, had 25% cut in budget in the last parliament. They are working to accommodate cuts for this parliament of 25 or 40%. The 40% cut would give a final budget less than half what it was when the Conservatives came in.

There are only so many buildings that can be sold off. I can't see anything but real cuts to the service. If the savings are to be the talked about £800 million, think how much cutting 1000 PCSOs would save? If they earn £20K thats say £25 million (taking into account some overheads). Now can you see how these cuts would mean nothing in terms of finance? To me this means they will have to cut a hell of a lot more..........in terms of humans with/without jobs and our peace of mind.......
