Hide AdGrampian police are frequently complaining about being underfunded and overworked with having the additional duties oflooking after the North Sea industry and the Royals when they are at Balmoral. This knee-jerk political decision is ill conceived, expensive and plain daft and the sooner we have a single Scottish police force the better.
