I Have Seen The Future (And The Past)

Reading Time: 3 minutes I read with a significant dose of dismay that proposed government cuts are set to bring the levels of Policing back to levels not seen since the 1970s.  Well, I was a serving officer through most of the 70s and I’m still alive now, or at least I was last time I looked. As a […]

Anyone For A Class Action?

Reading Time: < 1 minute I saw a very welcome headline yesterday; Police force threatens to sue Theresa May over funding plans “What a fantastic idea” I thought. The article, if true, gives an intriguing insight into the inequality of Cuts and Funding by Central Government. The Met seems set to suffer an unbelievable level of cuts (up to 43%)

Stating The Bleeding Obvious

Reading Time: 2 minutes Its what I do, I’m good at that.  Now it seems that it’s catching on and others have jumped on my bandwagon. Not long ago I wrote a post pointing out the Bleeding Obvious that our beloved government don’t give a stuffed fig about Public Safety. Now the situation has hot worse and impending cuts

Policing UK – The Analogy

Reading Time: < 1 minute it occurred to me this morning, while munching on my CocoPops (I don’t do muesli), just exactly what is happening to British Policing in the name of Reform. Take the instance of a brave Gladiator, struck down in combat with one arm severed, and a leg barely hanging on.  What is going to happen to

Will The Last One Out Please Turn Off The Lights – UK PLC Is Heading For The Badlands

Reading Time: 3 minutes As a devout cynic I shuddered mightily when the announcement, followed by the reality, that we were going to (and have done) lose 17,500 Police Officers under Dave Camoron’s ‘Reforms’. That was bad enough and I don’t need to go over old ground, we have all seen the reality, the constant ‘Crying Wolf’, Cuts do

Has Anybody Got A Spare Priest?  Policing UK Is In Need Of The Last Rites

Reading Time: 2 minutes I am indebted to Inspector Gadget (again) and @obbsie for stimulating my grey cells once more. Mr Winsor’s (sorry, Sir Tom’s)infamous ‘blue collar’ comments have possibly been forgotten by now, but Gadget is quite right, we must NEVER forget them. Sir Tom has NEVER apologised for that comment, NEVER justified that comment and NEVER withdrawn that

Was It April Fools Day Yesterday?

Reading Time: 4 minutes I was absolutely stunned at the amount of total bolleaux in the British Press yesterday in relation to Policing. It was so bad that I actually find it difficult to put it in an order of “badness”. a) We have the two bold headlines in The Independent; Black people still far more likely to be

Historical Sexual Abuse And The Impact On Resources

Reading Time: 2 minutes I don’t have a lot to add to Historical Sexual Abuse debate, male, female, child or adult I don’t think I can contribute very much. Except to repeat that the 70s in particular was an era when certain types of Police investigations DID get closed down by ‘the man from The Yard’. As I have

Roll Up, Roll Up, Enjoy The Show

Reading Time: 3 minutes Well Twatter was awash with condemnation yesterday, and I have to say I’m hardly surprised.  It’s been a while since I saw such a ridiculous management decision, at least a week. The Twattersphere was rent asunder by this headline in the Birmingham Mail We hope you enjoy the show! Outrage as events company offers ticket
