I hope we will receive full training and a full hazard and risk assessment is carried out to ensure we are fully prepare for the task. If not who is responsible?

Where do we fit into plan?

Will we be wearing riot kit, bearing arms etc, if required, or are we to be employed as a cheap alternate to G4 checking tickets and wiping the ar**ses of the great unwashed or something in between. What ever the answer is I suspect
the G4 (or who ever is contracted to do the security) and civvy police will be on overtime and be living in better accommodation than us. The MoD will be charging for our services so where is the welfare package for us.

I suspect post tranche 2 and new pension announcement, being used as a last minute fix for a problem caused by yet another UK senior management cock up will be the last straw for many.
