- Divert from where? Councils can’t always just take from one budget and use on another, and they keep reserves because further cuts might be coming - if they didn’t keep reserves and went under, we’d be slagging them off no?
- What should the police divert from? Burglaries? Violence?
- In THIS case the article we are discussing explicitly states resources were the key issue - let’s not get off topic, this is about this case in Manchester. Why can the police not afford to investigate grooming?
You can bet your bottom dollar that if this case had involved the criminals taking money from the state or banks or they were involved in drugs, this would not be dropped.
