People are reporting a lot more online hate crime, so a specific unit has been set up to deal with online crime reported by the public, so local stations don't have to deal with it.

The cost of the entire unit is equal to the salary of 24 officers. (Given that they need rent and supplies, the number will be closer to 20)

Police numbers are at the lowest they have been for 16 years.

Due to harsh conservative year on year cuts, we have lost well over 20,000 police officers, and the numbers are still falling.

This has been combined with Mental health services in the UK being completely gutted by the same conservative government.

So we have more work, with less officers...

It's right wing, tax the rich less, spend less policies in effect.
