Heather Mills Life "At Risk"

Police have announced they have received intelligence of a threat to Heather Mills-McCartney's safety.

They have briefed Ms. Mills on the situation, revealed the names of the people involved in the "non-specific" threat, from Merseyside and have issued her with a panic alarm so she can contact Sussex Police immediately if she feels at risk. Police have risk-assessed the threat and are "satisfied" there is no imminent risk to her safety.

But, God forbid, an incident happened the vicinity of Ms. Mills property and she felt at risk, would she have a problem gaining access to help??

As you all will be aware, the same force are trying to deal and investigate the murders of five prostitutes in the red-light district of Ipswich. With declining police stations and shorter opening hours standard and currently, a large majority of staff at Sussex Constabulary investigating these murders, how can taxpayers be assured that they will get the service they deserve when a crisis like this comes along?

More should be done to prevent our services closing. A&E Departments in Hospitals, Post Offices and Police Stations. All of them are dwindling away. Just today, it was announced that 2,500 post offices would be closed by 2008. Adults have to travel miles to get to an Accident & Emergency that will serve them and Police Stations are on the 9-5 Monday-Friday.

In the Summer we found a dog and decided to get it to a Police Station. We had to wait an hour outside at 9.30pm at night, (not a nice scenario) for one of the two police cars operating in the area that night to come back to the station.

The hard-working public would be a little more understanding of taxes if the services they were paying for were around. Right?
