Metropolitan police expecting a hot summer...three water cannons bought from Germany

[Badger]

Let me get this right
3 x Water cannon
@£30,000 each
equals £90,000

Mayor's office say they are spending £218,000
So, either they are buying something else as well or somebody has added in their bonus for making the deal.

Or do they only work with German water or something?
Can't see what the other £128,000 is for Postage & Packing?

Is this some kind of new Maths that I don't know about?

They're buying it using a loan from Wonga.com

I would agree, especially as BBC London reports that the Met Police will be keeping an eye on Essex, in respect to the rise in domestic violence, whether England win or fail.

Just in time for the World Cup riot 'coz we have lost on penalties to Germany/Argentina'.

A dangerous line has been crossed.

I can't see how they would have been of use during the riots in London other than to help put out fires.
