This is happening in London under the watch of the labour party mayor who has no problem with the inhabitants trying to keep body and soul together under further deprivation of keeping an old jalopy on the road. When knife crime as you put it is par for the course under the watchful eye of the mayor.
In English please as that makes no sense - so par the course for you.
So explain the impact of this.
A decade of Government cuts to policing forced the MPS to make £850 million of savings since 2010. London’s National and International Capital City grant funding continues to be £159m less than the Home Office’s independent adviser deemed necessary to cover the unique responsibilities of policing our capital. Furthermore, the MPS are expected to incur £58m additional costs relating to policing the pandemic in 20/21 but this is only partially covered by the grants provided by the Government, resulting in a shortfall currently estimated to be £21m. This will increase by the end of the financial year. As a result, for the 2021-22 budget, MOPAC/MPS is required to find £61.6million of savings and efficiencies, which comprises savings already identified in the February 2020 published budget of £50.2 million and new identified savings of £11.4 million.
