Tonight, last night!

[Kathyan]

I was watching Tonight last night and they were talking about shortages of Police officers. Tony McNulty was on the programme and I heard him say that 'things that the Police say regarding shortages, are usually 'over exagerated'! So things that MPs say are not? Just who do these people think they are?

who are we to believe? ill always be skeptical of any figures given to me by anyone, unless id researched them myself. politicans, police officals, governments, all have their own reason for getting figures and statistics in the first place. they way they interpret them, and they way the "fiddle" them is what causes so many problems.

so who knows what the truth is? anyways, ill be honest, i wouldnt want to work for the police, if im to believe the papers, id be working with 16 years olds and filling paperwork most of the time. besides, if i ever arrested someone, id be constantley thinking, what a waste of time, cuz chances are, they'll get off lightly because our pathetic excuse for a legal system will let them.
