If we cannot have the police we need on streets, then give us the right to defend our homes with anti burglar traps like the man traps of 1800 to deal with burglars. Government reduce police on streets, let’s move them from number 10 and Parliament and Buckingham Palace and returned to normal duties, see how these places would cope with no police officers.

Everyone seems to be slagging of the tories budget but what would the Labour Party have done? I shudder to imagine! Grant Hately °
Budget not bad but giving millions for pothole repair and for the NHS. Haven’t they already had the money for this from Road Tax and NI payments? Also giving money for town centre revamps wouldn’t the money be best spent bringing down business rates for small businesses? TB
