Of course we don't have anyone doing that already -- so we're not just creating a new constabulary to give someone a job.
So given that we are an island, and we have a Royal Navy, who looks after what part of the coastline ?
- UK Border Patrol
- British Transport Police
- Royal Navy
- Fleet Air Arm
- The Coastguard
- The Royal National Lifeboats
- Gosport and Fareham Inshore Rescue Service
- Customs and Excise
- Inland Revenue
- VAT Office
- Mr Weasel in the Tower of London
- Mrs Miggins Pie Shop
If anyone thinks that the new border patrol might be a waste of money -- then tell your local police station, as they are spending your hard earnt tax dollars...
