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

A Little Bit Of Hypocrisy Here?

Reading Time: 2 minutes I hear there has been a report published by HMICFRS that is very critical of Greater Manchester Police’s Crime Recording record and the service they have provided to public in general and victims. My immediate reaction to that is there a little bit of hypocrisy Here?. With just a bit of arrogance. It is a

Police Pay Pensions and Conditions – It All Makes Sense Now

Reading Time: 2 minutes But I still don’t agree with it. Correct me if I’m wrong but the first major changes came with Tom Winsor’s ‘Independent’ Reviews. Instead of being able to retire on a full pension after 30 years service ‘Tom’ recommended increasing retirement age to 60 for a full pension. The Pension Scheme itself was changed from

Sir Tom Winsor

Reading Time: 4 minutes Who is Sir Tom Winsor? Well, most people know by now that he was the lead author of the infamous Independent Review of Police Officers’ & Staff Remuneration and Conditions, first published in 2011. The ‘highlights’ include Tom Winsor provided the government with recommendations as to how a modern police pay structure could be achieved. Changes

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

It’s All The Police’s Fault (No It Isn’t)

Reading Time: < 1 minute I am grateful (again) to @NathanConstable. I had the read the article about West Yorkshire Police and dutifully spluttered coffee into my All Bran but Nathan tweeted that we should read he comments, which I had failed to do.  https://twitter.com/nathanconstable/status/716568858258235392 The gist of the article was about the reduction of Police Officers and PCSOs in

Something Smells Rotten In Mrs May’s Empire

Reading Time: 2 minutes At the back end of last year you will no doubt recall I had cause to think that Tom Winsor had dsisappeared, that post is here.   I have now had my reply from the Home Office asking for a copy of all the documents relating to FOI request 18164/2011. No thanks to the Home

Tom Winsor Has Completely Disappeared

Reading Time: 2 minutes Well, that’s not strictly true, but he has been expunged from the record. After Friday’s blog and the shitstorm it invoked about the apparent lack of transparency surronding a certain man and his Indepent Review, I dug a little deeper and went into the Home Office Disclosure Log to make sure the original request hadn’t ‘disappeared’.

Surely It’s Now Time For Theresa May To Go

Reading Time: 3 minutes Her time is done, she’s set about the wholesale destruction and discrediting of the British Police. Her and Tom Winsor set in place a plan which is reducing the British Police from being the pride of the world to a mere shadow of its former self. In the name of ‘Reform’ she is changing the
