I'll tell you where I come from.
School crossing patrols in county's such as Norfolk and Suffolk are being cut to the bone while high costs such as chief exec's and police helicopters burn vast amounts of public money.
As a pilot of 30 years experience on both fixed wing and helicopters I am happy to support anything that can cut costs.
All the pilots having a go at me here are employed in the public sector. I accept they have an axe to grind.
However the high costs of some aspects of policing can not continue.
There are more basic policing method that do not require £3-5 million of public
spending.
