It is a set-up political stunt, with the chess pieces poised on the board (for when the first MENAPT detainee lad does a runner) and the manufactured outrage will dominate the right-wing press for days. I bet the opinion pieces are already written.If the patrols stop assaults or deter them via body cams and hi vis then the money is still achieving something useful right now.
Preventing harm isn't cancelled out by someone else's possible future spin.
As it is a stunt, it is mendaciously wasting Essex taxpayers C-Tax.
Tokenism.
