Oh, how odd. Must be some kind of mistake.
Being dumb and losing your money is hardly a priority when people are being murdered. Between beating up minorities and the poor, some of them try to focus on important crimes, or donuts.
Police in the UK had their numbers slashed and funding cut massively under the Conservative party.
It's really not surprising that they spend more of their limited resources on things like violent crime and increased security at venues like gigs or some football stadiums over things like Indian call centres where UK police have no jurisdiction scamming money off of people.
I know it's tastier to believe in a conspiracy that UK police are involved in some kind of giant cabal of financial scammers that somehow flies under the radar, but the truth is over the past 13 years, lots of nonviolent crime has started being ignored because most forces simply don't have the resources to deal with it.
