When public service cuts hit home...

I was talking to my Mom last night, she's the night nurse at a state prison.
The budget cuts have finally caught up with them, there is now not enough money to have enough prison staff to be safe. There have been 4 attacks on staff by prisoners in the past month (which is nearly an un-heard of number in her prison), one of which resulted in the death of a 34 year old female councilor that my Mom was close to.

This is the reality. I could talk extensively about how the cuts are affecting British Prisons that I go in.
Britain is not broke, the money is merely somewhere else, in the pocket of a banker or major international company.
