sorry after a govermentally review into manning and cost levels during the olympic games these figures are no longer acurate

there will be 12 police on duty all day reducing to 9 at night, a third will be dealing with the greater london area while the others will indeed be dealing with the games
we have judged that these will be suitable as front line assets as
we are backing them up with the top 3 neighbourhood watch schemes, a dog, 300,000 extra speed cameras and some illegal imigrants who we didnt bother to check there visa entitlements, as extra precautions we are making sure the illegals can still claim full benifits as were paying them cash in hand at twice the rate of a proper police person

sorry for any misunderstandings

I knew that, it's because it's not safe to use your real name when you're Irish and you know where we live.

The Sun and the Moon appear the same size in sky. This is curious because the Sun is 400 times bigger than the moon. However by some coincidence, or act of God, the Sun is 400 times further away from the Earth than the Moon is.

Hence they both appear to be the same size.

Interesting that, isn't it?
