I have been shocked this morning at two back to back news stories. Firstly the news that the Government is cutting, by Half, the number of coastguard stations around the UK, and the privatisation of the associated helicopter service, and secondly the news that local councils are removing Lollipop ladies due to having to take “difficult” decisions.
It seems that anyone going on the high seas is at their own risk, and children going to school are also being left to gamble on busy roads
But don’t worry, they won’t cut front line services and we are all in this together.
