It's frustrating at how the ConDems have stitched everything up ...
The first thing on their agenda was 5 Yr fixed term parliaments - so joe soap can't kick them out early. Then they pillage the Public Sector.
The irony is I genuinely believe their real mission (hidden) is to break the police service in order to make privitisation a given. They will hack away at terms and conditions, and pay and pensions, so many late service officers will take early retirement. Thats the old and bold gone. Then the middle men will get squeezed and will jump ship as soon as they can secure other employment. So the experinced boys and girls will be gone; the forces will suffer from a chronic lack of experience and resourcing levels will drop through the floor...
Sound familiar so far...?
Then anything not requiring a sworn constable will be privitised, leaving you with a hoarde of specials and PCSO's, and a small core of essential but highly in-experienced and autocratic police officers - perhaps as much as half the number we have now.
Hang on, carbon copy of what's happened to the Armed Forces...
