Actually I agree with him.

No money should be given out until we understand the problem and any expenditure is justified and indeed controlled on where it is spent.

There is plenty of many sloshing about, it is just poorly or unwisely spent.

Even if they were given extra money it would not put more police on the street as it takes months to recruit and train police officers.
