Well well well. What's all this then?

The plod was famous for voting Tory so this and the several other kicks in the teeth (blame for riots, plebgate) must come as something of a shock.

Of course this will only aggravate this

Producing sufficient undermanning to precipitate the use of......Privatised "Security" forces like G4

Which the head of G4S happens to have seen coming for some time now

Well hat was back before the Olympics fiasco!

Meanwhile tories and labour MP's all vote to double their salary.

I reckon they should strike.

All Coppers Are Broke

I don't believe that all coppers are bastards - too many, and possibly all the high ranking ones, but not all the ordinary foot soldiers. It might be a romantic notion, but so long as there continues to be some decent ones around, there's always hope.

If 'law & order' ends up largely in the hands of the knuckle-dragging gobbin employees of the likes of G4S, I think we'll be more screwed than we are now.

I don't believe ACAB either and you are totally right.
As it happens my family has two close friends in the force: one a dog handler who is a very decent bloke and loves his dogs more than his motorbikes. The other is retired seargent that I do gigs with (folk scene) and a nicer man you could not meet.

I was being facetious and I am unfortunately becoming increasingly sardonic in my "humour".



I agree with your post completely and I think the good element of the police work often as a rescue service.

I think the bobbies have to think about just who has THEIR interests at heart now. And it is NOT the establishment.


They clearly wish to see a privastised "security" force. i.e. Mercs.

And mercenaries make your average thug look like the bastion of civilisatio by comparison.

Well according to the police a fair few of them are!

And then we are assuming they were all honest, recent news shows this not to be in their general nature.

And every single one of them would split your head open if given the order to.

ACAB

I have seem viscious bastards pushing authority in all walks of life.

Naturally copper attract that sort of psycho-cunt.

There is not a stretch of society that does not contain the fascist including (obviously) the Church that I ascribe to.

But there is also wheat amongst that rancid chaff.

I was thrown in a cell with broken arm and after being beaten up by japanese mafia and they made me apologise to the crooks. The coppers made me do that while my arm as broken, my nose was smased my lips split in four directions and a severe concussion.

It took me years to get over that and cost me my job and prbably my marraige.

And yet, I still think that there are good coppers.

I must be an idiot. But so wtf.

When it comes down to the grit, that's exactly what they'd do.

work for the bad guys and the bad guys will turn on you eventually?

Remember the miners in the 80's.

edit.There are some police I guess who are ok?

More or less why i could not give a fuck about any ex-Tory (including "centre left Liebor") and turncoat Liberals any more.

Sold each other out and now they pretend like they are shocked when they were told REPEATEDL what would happen.

Fuck'em.

No NHS? - you never wanted it

No pension? - you never wanted to pay in

No representation in the workplace? - you bashed it

No privacy? - you bought all the scandal

No justice? - you snubbed it

No dole when finally you and your kids are "skivers" and "strivers" for no fault of your own? - you were calling them skivers not 5 days ago

Bwahahahahahahahahaah!

Right now I am all out of fucks to give.

I don't know what kind of contigency plan the guberment has if the Peelers do decide to down tools.

Probably put soldiers on the streets I'd imagine. I for one would pop down to the picket line and offer my support, and to do a bit of shit stirring, of course.

Indeed the police have been banned from Striking for almost a Century. Hoever in 2007 this was challenged.

And yes, theu would put troops on the streets.

I would support Plod over Tommy, if it came to it.

'Some' isn't good enough though. Some is a minority which is a massive problem considering they are there apparently to protect us and uphold the law. That's a fucking joke.

The days of the friendly 'bobby on the beat' has long since passed and the 'some' who are still of this dying breed are likely doing alot of penpushing and rescuing of cats as opposed to anything that can be classed as serious crime. The police of today, the world over are a totally different 'breed' and I believe it takes a special kind of cunt to become one in this day and age.
