I can't help wondering about the cost effectiveness of using helicopters ,especially since it seems ( I might be wrong ) not infrequent around here .

I wonder if there are records showing how often helicopter use results in catching the criminal ?

I once visited the copper chopper base in West Yorkshire when I was a member of Round Table and they said they never launch unless there is an extremely strong reason for so doing. They know they have to justify the costs to the taxpayer. As one of the Round table members was a part of the Yorkshire equivalent to CO19 we got shown some CCTV stuff that was a bit more sensitive than the car chases you see on Police, Camera, Action. It could well be that today's operation might be one of those.

Maybe, instead, they should put cameras on all the planes flying over ED? That's the kind of joined up thinking you just don't get from the government...

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      The greens and reform have given a kick up the arse of the two main parties. We will see dramatic changes in the next six months.

      Unfortunately while “being inclusive” can be a good thing, being blind to how that is being rolled out is naive. Greens, with Muslim deputy, and strategic voting are advocating open borders and no restrictions on benefits.  Restore UK are advocating restrictions and reducing the number of illegal immigrants, and processes for asylum applications Everyone in the middle is seeking power using whatever means necessary.

      I would have thought approaching Muslims (and other ethnic groups) and using their own language  was being inclusive, and demonstrating that they were being inclusive. Unlike Reform, who appear to deliberately stir up hatred of particular groups of people. Unlike Labour, who appear to hate supporters of  Palestine. But this thread is supposed to be about James McCash's move to the Greens, so if people  want to discuss more general political issues, perhaps someone could start a thread in the lounge?
