A bit of a red herring, could also say money is being wasted policing idiots,replacing burnt out police cars and soon,keeping them in jail Hardly a red herring. The new government is cancelling infrastructure projects right left and centre because they claim there is 'black hole' in the nation's finances....obviously an excuse to raise taxes. The amount spent on any policing activities doesn't even represent a drop in the bucket compared to the four billion spent on illegal migrants. I wonder how many roads, hospitals, schools....even the odd ring road, that money could ofund. How about we fund yourNWRR by getting rid of Trident? You get your infrastructure, bit Putin can pick it off when he wants. Government finance doesn't really work like that though does it. |

I wonder how many roads, hospitals, schools....even the odd ring road, that money could fund. Neither asylum seekers or drunk rioters really make much of a dent in government spending, and aren't really a factor in why ythe NWRR might get dropped. The level of money spent on housing asylum seekers is likely to fall under the new Labour government as they move to process the asylum seekers, rather than stop processing applications and just hold them in hotels and off shore units as the previous government did, so cost savings are likely to be made in that field over the course of the next Parliament. But the Home office spend of about £26 billion a year is still a lot less than the Department of Transport which comes in around £46 billion a year. The big black hole in Government spend is really the Department for Social security which accounts for £305 billion a year and is likely to be the one the cuts are made to - such as recent announcements on removing the Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners. |
