THE news that the local police station may be removed will be heartening news to all the shoplifters, pickpockets, thugs and the various other miscreants our towns are plagued with.

Thank-you SNP for throwing the towel in on crime whilst refusing to fund the police to the extent they need to be operationally competent.

I hope all those that support the SNP have their own private security teams in place because when the trouble starts you stand a better chance calling the Ghostbusters than the police.

If decent citizens resort to vigilante justice, the tight-fisted and incompetent Scottish Government have only themselves to blame.
