The man they called Robocop when he was a Police Chief has let fly a verbal broadside at the Coalition's cuts. Ray Fallon was echoing Labours view when he said at a Press Conference "These cuts are too quick, too deep, too savage."
His no nonsense approach to Policing was a breath of fresh air at the time and helped move the debate on to new methods of combating crime.
Robocop, Ray Fallon, is now Mayor of Middlesborough. Middlesborough is having to manage massive budget cuts over the next four years. In his anger at these unfair cuts he made the following comment. "This Government doesn't understand what social deprivation looks like and they certainly don't know what it feels like."
You don't have to be a former sleuth to work out that this Government are cutting without regard to the real effects. They will undo the previous Governments attempts to strengthen the Regions in order to build a stronger job base away from the south east. Middlesborough won't be alone in suffering disproportionately from cuts in Government grant. Yet again a Tory led Government has turned it's back on the Midlands and the North.
