We can cut police budget without risking violent unrest

guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 15 September 2010 11.55 BST

The home secretary, Theresa May, has dismissed fears that deep spending cuts could undermine the ability of the police to tackle possible civil unrest, and insisted
the British did not respond to austerity by rioting on the streets.

1. Hmm somebody didn't understand... (IMAGE HEAVY)

There... I think that will make the point. Ooops.

By the way, here is the other hint to the Home Secretary... riots just don't happen... and if you do not deal with the underlying causes... well enjoy..

6. my business?

i dont own one

my home? i am insured in my tiny one bedroom and yes it would suck but if i lived in london i would have been out looting anyways. plus the rioters have been burning and looting in the rich areas and not so much where they live since the first night

i live on a salary of 800 euros a month plus whatever other odd jobs i find.

7. Coming soon to Camden?

I hope not, but getting rid 50% of the police ain't gonna be a good thing.
