On what that accounting ultimately means, if the U.K. were to host it--as they did host the G-20 in London—they have a large number of police within the London area and would not need to call for additional forces from across the country, as we would have to do in any G-8 or G-20. So the reality is that their accounts would show that the police were drawn from within the London area, but there would be no accounts for the accommodation of the police or all the care and feeding of the police because they would simply go home for tea.
