And a wee chuckle

Having discovered that the SNP Scottish Government is on course to better the SNP manifesto pledge of 1,000 more police officers over four years (two more than target - whoo-hoo!), I then chanced upon Labour's motion for debate for tomorrow:

*S3M-3726 Richard Baker: Police Numbers—That the Parliament believes that the Scottish Government must ensure that there are 17,265 full-time equivalent police officers by March 2011, calculated on the basis currently used by the Chief Statistician in the reporting of the official Police Officer Quarterly Strength Statistics, for the SNP’s stated manifesto pledge for 1,000 more police officers to be met.

Way to go, Ricky!
