THE push goes inexorably on. We now read that the police service is to be modernised in the name of efficiency. The existing county forces will be merged and enlarged into nine super-forces.
Yet again, our so-called government will not tell us the truth. The coming changes have nothing to do with efficiency. They are quite simply regionalisation. It is known that regionalisation is against the wishes of the electorate but this is of no consequence to the blinkered dogma of the Labour Party. The wishes of the people count for nought - we are to have what the government wants forced upon us - like it or not.
Has anyone seen any words of opposition from the Conservative party? Or is it as Tony Blair treats it - of no significance nor consequence and can be totally ignored. We can only hope that they can find a leader - repeat leader - that could start to make steps to stop the continual downgrading of the country and take us forward once again to become a Great Britain.
