> The UK police is so massively underfunded

Is it, though? According to the government itself, funding has increased from 12B in 2015 to 17B in 2023[0]. In real terms, the UK police now has more funding than it had pre-austerity (16.5B in 2023 money).

If they don't have the manpower, it isn't due to a lack of money.
