Clearly our unelected Prime Minister and that clueless bint he made Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, feel OUR tax pounds are better spent saving city fat cats bonus's and peoples mortgages, than paying for a properly funded Police force and a decent anti Terror response!
The Simple Sums:
Cost to UK Tax Payers of paying the Police back pay and funding anti terror measures £100 Million: Benefit to UK tax payers? We all rely upon the Police, and with the constant threat Islam now presents to the UK we all need more better equipped Police on the street and a well funded Anti Terror strategy: BTW all cabinet ministers get round the clock protection regardless!!!! So far no money found and Circus Labour trying to find a way out of paying it!!!!
Cost of UK tax payers bailing out the Directors and Share Holders of a private Bank £40 BILLION and rising!: Benefit to UK tax payers? Almost none other that to provide a safe refuge for the few that have a mortgage or savings with Northern Rock, and of course those Directors & employees who will now get the bonus's they are “owed” : Circus Labour spent our money immediately and gave it with no security. It is also a sum larger than the total education budget for the UK!! So we could have twice as many schools and teachers if they really wanted to let us have them, What happened to “Education Education Education”?
Police minister Tony McNulty has told Sky News that the Government will not back down in the row over police pay.
It comes as officers threaten strike action over the Home Secretary's decision not to back date a 2.5% pay award agreed by independent arbitration.
By law, police are not allowed to strike and Mr McNulty said that would not be changing any time soon.
He said: "I am not getting into hypotheticals, they can't strike by law and I don't think that is a position that will change unduly."
The Government reportedly capped police pay because it needed more money to fight terrorism.
A top advisor to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said they risked not getting £50m for counter-terrorism if they asked the Treasury for more cash for officers' wages, according to a secret memo.
It says police are paid enough already, and dismissed police chiefs' demands for the right to strike.
But Mr McNulty denied the Government capped police pay to pay for the fight terror, saying: "No it is not the case."
Officers were awarded 2.5% by an independent arbitration panel but ministers decided to delay its implementation, reducing the increase to 1.9%.
