Asda and EasyJet among firms paying for police patrols as forces rake in £313m from private contracts

CASH-STRAPPED police forces have raised more than £300m from private firms paying for patrols in the last five years.

Asda is forking out nearly £200,000 a year for Metropolitan Police cops to keep guard at a retail park in East London where it has a large store. Last month Prime Minister Theresa May provoked outrage when she claimed there was no direct link between falling numbers of officers on the street and the recent surge in deadly stabbings.

Asda ram raid: Digger used to steal cash machine in Tunbridge WellsPolice have cordoned off the scene where a digger was used to smash a hole in the side of a Tunbridge Wells supermarket. Copying the Irish! 😂😂😂 If thieves don't stop doing this, the banks will use these thefts as an excuse to eliminate cash altogether. In fact, I would not be surprised if the banks weren't behind these thefts as they are happening worldwide.

Asda overtakes Sainsbury's in sales rankingAsda is now the UK's second largest supermarket, overtaking its planned merger partner. The nearest Asda or Sainsbury's is a least an hour's drive, if not more, from here. They both need to come to West Somerset - desperately! This basket is terribly overloaded. I fear for this man's health. Only light things are visible but that doesn't mean there's nothing heavy, like milk or juice, at the bottom. Privacy coins are the future. That´s why DeepOnion is my choice. I´m very happy to invest in this project. DeepOnion onion getdeeponion $onion

Sainsbury’s falls behind Asda to become UK's third biggest supermarket chainDiscounters Aldi and Lidl make big gains, increasing pressure on larger rivals If our store in Trowbridge is anything to go by, this doesn't suprise me one bit. Perhaps if sainsburys reconsidered their deal to sell customers' personal data to DailyMail then they wouldn't be hemorrhaging customers. I haven't shopped there since asa a result... Our local largest Sainsbury’s has downsized everything. Just what did they expect? They carry much less stock than in last 25 years.
