Silsoe, I agree,
how much will the squad cost each day ferrying him back and forth? £10mill or £20m a year paying for the ten close protection cops, not including the motorcycle escorts.
Will they have another 10 cops checking and sealing the drains on route each day which is what normally goes on with a royal visit?
Its good PR for the HEMS unit, but the taxpayer is going to pay far more in the long run to protect him from the unsavoury types, and thats just travelling to the job.
NPAS will probably also be involved each day following his car. There goes the budget
