In Uxbridge, West London, *12* police officers turned up to arrest a woman for the "heinous crime" of attempting to steal a sandwich. Yes, you read that right—a sandwich.

When a shocked bystander called them out on this embarrassing waste of taxpayer money, the police’s brilliant response? Arrest *him* for uttering a single swear word.

Is this why the British government continues to raise taxes and cut subsidies? To finance a force of 12 police officers to deal with a sandwich and then arrest citizens who care about such an outrageous waste of taxpayers' money?

This is the state of British policing—12 officers for a sandwich, and the public can’t even express frustration without risking arrest. What a farce.
