Re: £16m of taxpayers' money
3 shifts of 2 cops sitting outside front and back in cars waiting for him to leave 24/7 for ~8 years:
- 20 x £40k/yr for staff costs including
- £200k/yr for police cars
- £30k/yr coffee and donuts
- £25k/yr hire charges for the portaloo
- £100k/ye for new uniforms due to coffee/donut/other stains incurred in the line of duty
- £400k/yr to cover overtime for officers who were redecorating or working their side gigs
- £500k/yr for "administration" of these hardworking officers
Total: ~£2m/yr
Note: any resemblance to actual costs is purely coincidental.
