This is risible; Working from rounded figures; with 4,000 police officers for a population of 400,000, the country has one police officer per 100 citizens, In contrast the United Kingdom has one police officer per 866 citizens. This country has over 8 times as many per capita as the UK and apparently that is not enough. And we still have one of the highest murder rates of any country in the world. More policemen will make absolutely no difference in my opinion but let us hope that opinion is wrong. The RBPF is a large and inefficient top heavy bureaucracy, All bureaucrats have always sought more and yet more junior bureaucrats under their authority as it automatically gives them more seniority; I suspect this is at the root of the dramatic increase in costly manpower and womanpower.
What is the reason to hide the names of these people that he is suggesting engaged in nefarious behavior? He cannot be sued for slander if the allegations prove to be unfounded as he is covered by parliamentary privilege.

It seems a bit weird that this professional politician is proud of what some other people have done, to wit, decided to arrive in the country on vacation by plane or cruise ship. Can I be proud that there was a blizzard in California and that it snowed in Boston today?
There is a flaw in the argument presented by the writer of this letter: he writes, " Receiving taxpayer’s money should mean that those institutions provide appropriate education for all taxpayers’ children". This is his opinion only. Should the Ministry of Education compel an all-girl school to accept boys, or vice vera, if they are receiving a subvention. What about if the child of a Satanist family wishes to attend one of the schools owned by a church denomination? Should the government be forcing the school to accept that child even though they wish not to do so? And yes it is understood that this latter scenario is unlikely to happen in the near future, but a principle is under consideration here which should be universally applicable.
