Well I suppose that comment that you hate so much, may be as a direct result of Police Officers, who used to have quick access to air support, now having to wait longer for it.
Now let me see. Do you not think that that might just be as a result of the fleet being cut by a third!
You know, when you have your back to the wall, and the nasties are crowding in to get you. It was very heartening to know that help was just a few moments away. So that is why it is bloody annoying when someone then comes along, and removes that source of help and places it further away.
Its even more annoying when they tell bloody lies about it, and try & tell you that actually its much better for you, because you now have access to three helicopters instead of one. The fact that they are all bloody miles away is not much help when youv'e just had your head kicked in.
Perhaps that might be why the bobby on the beat is not so impressed with the new arrangement.
