Is The Office For Value For Money Poor...

If someone burgles you, there are no policemen available to come to your house. If there is a disturbance on your street and somebody is attacked, there are no police available to come out.
If you speed on a motorway above 70mph, there is always a policeman with a gun to catch you.
Does anybody else think we have lost our Police Force and gained Traffic Wardens in return??

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A radio presenter had his house broken into while he was there, he phoned the police who said they had no-one in the area and couldnt help, he said ok i've got a gun i'll go downstairs and shoot them.
Guess how long it took the police to arrive at his house? less than 2 minutes, and they let the burglars go and arrested him.
How mad is that?
We still have a police force.
Only called them once, I got smacked about the head on a night out. They were with me fast and were a lot of help. More than they needed to be, considering it was just a random, boozy, 'lets punch someone in the face' thing. In my defence, I wouldn't have called them were I not spitting shards of teeth. I might have needlessly pushed up the crime figures there. Sorry.
Maybe I was being looked after when someone else was being beaten or stabbed or robbed, but it was worrying to me and they calmed me down, made sure I got home, and I got a follow-up phone call and some letters and stuff (which was embarassing because it all felt a small thing in the day, at home and sober)
I got a top service, 10/10.
P.S. "If you speed on a motorway above 70mph, there is always a policeman with a gun to catch you." Always? Have you only gone over 70 on the motorway once, or do you just have a string of bad luck? So many people speed that only a tiny fraction must be caught. Anyway, if you don't do it, you can't get caught.
Well, some mixed views here.. No, I have not been burgled, I read an article about a man who was, and he was in the house with them.. nobody could come. Kind of similar story to johnlambert's story, where the owner or the house then threatened to stab the burglar and all of a sudden there were police available.
I am not saying that they are doing a bad job, i'm just saying that I think that priorities need to change.
They should change their priorities so that they care less about people killing each other and more about burglaries? That's all it sounds like with this radio presenter...
Radio presenter says "I'm going to murder someone with a gun", police are there in less than 2 minutes to arrest him. Top job, well done police.
