The trip came as London police asks for a massive budget increase in the next four years to pay for new officers, drones, a second light-armoured vehicle and a new training centre.

I’m not one of those “All cops are bad” people, but if you want a budget increase, nothing signals fiduciary responsibility like unnecessary work trips without notifying your oversight board…

And that’s to say nothing about attending a joint training exercise with foreign nationals that are currently sanctioned by our government, who for some reason gave them a surprise 90% discount on the whole thing.

Is it officially treason to train military units of foreign countries that we have sanctioned? It’s probably bad I have to ask.
