i want to know will everyone start moaning when our taxes go up to account for the 2 bobbys that have been assigned outside every london over and underground sation in view of recent events. ive heard its not just london stations.
just curious. the cost has to come from somewhere.
im all in favour at what ever cost personally.

It isn't just London stations Sandie as I regularly travel from Exeter St Davids and they have had armed police there for the last 10 days or so.
At the end of it all then we will all have to pay as we need to be as safe as we can be.

The cost is negligible compared to that of keeping an army going with troops in Iraq, NI etc. ... so with the spare capacity after the Irish situation nears resolve, I would put some troops on duty in the tube and at railway stations, maybe under control of the police in day-to-day duty. I know some people may see it as a Military State scenario, but if that's what's needed, because after what that bearded turd Al Zaquari said in his little video the other day, there are probably a few dozen Muslims busy in the garden shed right now with the Domestos and Citric Acid.

No I can't see anybody getting all hot under the collar about the expense involved although given how you English love to moan I could be wrong
Then again,given how Policing,Health & Education are the 3 things that ALL Politicians always promise more money for during election time its most likely all & sundry will just take it on the chin unless they call it a POLL TAX
So to recap thats a 2-2 draw
cheers
