I think the point is being missed. This is not a Peeing contest as to whether the Police should get more/less/equal pay to the Pilots, it is about a Government that has reneged on a promise. The Police have had allowances removed for newer officers and do give a lot of time due to good will (free 30 mins every duty etc) This is why the Government should recalculate the fallout that may arise from this poorly advised decision and pay them what they deserve.

Seems to me that a government that mistreats those who secure their stay in power and the security of the country are not long in power thereafter....
Maybe history will repeat itself soon, 30 years on. Remember the Christmas firemens' strike? I do; the military were made to cover for striking firemen, who had been badly treated.
It later transpired that the military were on even less pay. The military got their pay rise under a Conservative government......
Move over Gordon, you're overdue.
Having said that, my pay rise, in the private sector, this year is.....NIL. Christmas bonus? NIL.

Hmmmmm......
I notice that the MPs want to award themselves a 10% pay rise (if the newspaper headlines I just saw are to be believed).
Its funny.... I didn't see them next to me in the tube tunnels after 7/7 sifting the forensic evidence and picking up the human remains so that the bereaved families could bury their loved ones.
Nor were they next to me every day for three weeks digging through tons of rotting waste on a stinking landfill site looking for significant evidence.
And yet I am not worthy of having my 2.3% backdate as they had already agreed.
Suffice to say I am a tad miffed.
