Their key role is setting priorities for their police force, and that is a political decision. If I recall correctly they replaced police authorities, which were committees of councillors whose membership reflected the party political makeup of the county (or appropriate other) council.

This statement is a testament to that.

Last summer, we could hardly go in the garden because hammering and dust caused by external work being done by the same neighbours. If it was essential, maybe. But it's just them poncing the house up yet they still leave bags of dog poo and nappies in their garden for the foxes to take apart.

And intelligent people I know posting, "Ooooh, me me me me me, I'm in there, haha," or tagging other people. And wondering if shaking the algorithm up would result in me getting a list of common Muslim or Germanic names instead of common white British Millennial names.
