http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/feb/0 ... ice-london OK, it seems they're serious about cost cutting, but that seems neither the way to do it nor a vote winner Are the Met really that hated that the public won't care?

Tory! Expect nothing less, next he'll cut doctors and hospital staff.
On a more serious note, the met are too busy harassing photographers in the nice part of London and hiding from the more unpleasant areas where a heavy police presence is actually needed. Rather than cut them, how about just re-deploying them to the areas where they are needed? There's quite a gang problem down there if the news reports are to be believed.

Well if the police are cut, then Boris will have to patrol the streets like he did last year.

Yes but she was trying to promote her video, so she was taking advantage of him. Though he did not have his batman outfit on, he was only on the bat bike.

Maybe this'll mean there's less plod to harass photographers and then real policing can happen.
