I am now a Police Officer.
I have just had my days off and leave cancelled because of the G4S debacle. Because of the recent change to my working conditions (introduced by Cameron's lacky Tom Winsor), I do not get extra pay nor overtime.
We are now having to guard an Olympic venue because 5 out of a contracted 180 G4S staff turned up. 13000 Other Police Officers are in the same boat. They to were given a few days notice.
Having been cut by 16000 Officers, we too are 'overstretched'. Without wishing to repeat myself, stop reading the bloody Daily Mail to get your facts about what Police are supposedly 'earning'.
