Austerity

Reading Time: 4 minutes Who remembers Austerity?  Who could forget Austerity unless they were a child at the time? David Camoron and George Osborne gave birth to the idea of Austerity after the Tories’ less than convincing election win in 2010 which resulted in a less than satisfactory coalition with the Lib Dems. Under the banner of Austerity they […]

I Hate You Butler

Reading Time: 7 minutes I Hate You Butler, or more accurately, we hate you Police, seems to be the Battle Cry of any modern day Conservative government. I’m happy to be corrected, but governments and Home Secretaries in particular, seemed to be relatively supportive in the past, regardless of which party they belonged to.  I remember Labour’s Merlynn Rees

Is Policing Perfect?

Reading Time: 4 minutes Is Policing Perfect? No. Has Policing ever been perfect? No Will Policing ever be perfect? Probably not, BUT….. The demise of Policing is a reasonably complex problem, far more so than would have us believe. I don’t intend to repeat too much of what I have already said before, but prior to the intervention of

Policing Is Not A Chumocracy

Reading Time: 3 minutes Apologies for yet one more post this week, but a simple post on Twitter this morning has potentially revealed something unsavoury and unwelcome. It started with this, a heartfelt post from a retired Met Detective Inspector. I endorsed it without hesitation as I could instantly relate to it. Even before I retired (almost 20 years

How Did We Come To This?

Reading Time: 2 minutes I was having a conversation this morning, (Monday) on Twatter, with somebody who appears to be a serving officer. I have no intention of identifying this person, their identity is not important, but how did we come to this? was the topic of discussion. Specifically I was bemoaning the fact that initial investigations at burglaries

Musings Of An Angry Dinosaur

Reading Time: 4 minutes This Angry Dinosaur has been Musing.  I don’t know about anybody else but I am reaching the point of no return with our current brand of politicians. It doesn’t seem to matter very much which party they represent , they’re all as bad as each other. In recent months we have seen, what appears to

Policing Experience – Is There Another Crisis Waiting To Happen?

Reading Time: 2 minutes We’ve heard plenty about #CrisisInPolicing and I’m not going to convince you that there isn’t one. I have said before that there is, caused directly and personally by David Camoron and Theresa May. They were both arrogant and refused to listen to those who knew what they were talking about. Instead they preferred to accuse

Knife Crime vs Stop And Search (Plus a Few Ideas)

Reading Time: 7 minutes You’ll be pleased to know that I’m not going to regurgitate much of what I have previously written about Stop/Search or Knife Crime. Any or all of that is available in previous posts. This really concerns the views of the Twitterati on the subject. I posted a Poll on Twitter seeking people’s views on Stop/Search

Just What Have The Tories Done To Policing?

Reading Time: 7 minutes It’s a question I’ve been asking myself since 2010 to be honest. My opinions have never been favourable to the Tories, but apart from the constant, ongoing, reduction in officers I’ve never really put many numbers to it. I fear that is about to change, but to be easy you, I hope to achieve most

How Long Before The Government Destruction Of The British Police Service Is Complete?

Reading Time: 3 minutes Wow, that is some headline. Do I really mean it? On reflection I believe that I do. Isn’t it a bit OTT?  No, I don’t think it is. I actually believe that this government, driven by Cameron and May initially, and now May and Rudd have systematically plotted the destruction of the British Police Service
