Stay safe out there, the policing priorities in the UK have got screwed up to the point foreign aid budgets are higher than the whole UK Police budget, it's a very thin blue line.

Often single crewed, minimal backup and a bunch of armchair lawyers ready to throw the statute of hindsight at you. I Sometimes miss it but my family are glad I'm out. Good luck and stay safe.

I believe the foreign aid budget is even higher than Eric Pickles limousine bill, not by much mind, but I'm not sure about the relationship between all these things.

Less money for Police budget means less frontline officers, doing the same workload which will mean more single crewed officers and higher risk, poorer service. Limited total funds means foreign aid budgets going up does affect budgets.
