Call for more police cash

The Assembly Government should put up the money for more police community support officers, the Lib Dems say.

The said ministers should demand more money from Home Office and Wales’ four police forces should be refunded the money spent on a failed merger.

The Lib Dems also repeated their call for policing to be devolved to the Assembly.


However, given the farcical nature of policing in Wales, as demonstrated by the following story, why then would any minister want to take control and face the blame when they can just leave the problem at the hands of Westminster puppet masters.

Break in at police station.

Police in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, are investigating a break-in at their own station, it has been revealed.

Raiders broke into the station overnight when there was no-one inside the building. It is unknown if anything was stolen in the incident.

Dyfed Powys Police have confirmed there was a break-in, but would only revealed that an inquiry is “ongoing”.

However, kudos to the Liberal Democrats, they seem to be the only one of the British parties that seem to realise that the Assembly should continually seek to advance their control over new areas. They are, seemingly, the only British party to realise that there are differing situations and needs in Wales. And they are, seemingly, the only British party to realise that local control over the police (in this case at national level, aka, the Assembly) is better.

I remember reading about this police merger when I was on exhange at the University of Swansea in 05/06. Hope all is well, Taffia Don!
