Tigs2,
In response to your (much) earlier post asking about numbers on the police march, I have been reliably informed (by one who was there) that there were approximately 27,000 who turned out. It worked to a certain extent, in that they have been given a judicial review of their pay award. There are about 150,000 coppers of all shapes and sizes in the UK, which is not too dissimilar to the number in the Forces nowadays, so who knows how many service personnel it would take to highly embarass this necrotic shambles of a government again?
