head down, hours to be put in , books to be read , mocks to be done, audio cds listened to .. later all

Sorry still a little bit racist

Would love to post a lot about the goings on recently but apparently I am racist , explains why I cancelled my membership to the BPA , they no longer speak for the BME element in the met and have there own agenda.

Should we have these quasi organisations anymore , are we not all police officers first ?

Is it time that all the " police associations " just be kicked to touch and we get back to just doing the job at hand ..


I have not seen , heard witnessed or been a victim of racism while employed by the met police , what am I doing wrong , I have been a victim of racism while working on the streets my members of the public ... but they don't count as I arrest them and send em to court, just like what I would do *IF* it happened at work...

Stockwell Inquest

After getting it in the neck for the last few days from stupid people can I point the following out

Inquests do not establish if anyone was at fault or to blame for deaths - instead, they try to find out (and record) who the deceased was, how, when and where the deceased came by his or her death and the particulars needed for registration of the death.

Matters of blame or fault can only be pursued in separate civil or criminal proceedings.

The coroner may report the facts to an appropriate authority which may have power to prevent similar fatalities in future, but he or she cannot make recommendations or compel the authority to do anything.

Government proposes scrapping the PNB

"I am sorry but your protection officers have buggered off "

THE way decisions on police officer pay, allowances, working time and benefits are made is set to be radically overhauled after the Government proposed scrapping the Police Negotiating Board. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that a pay review body should be set up to make crucial decisions about all UK police officers' remuneration

Gun crime ...

While every body is blathering on about knife crime , it seems that gun crime has taken a back seat.

It will not be long before its news again, the thing about knifes is that you have to be close to your victim, guns kill at range ( well... depends on if they play the xbox or not )

After all , since every child matters it appears every round now has to count..

rohm and haas Coupons squawk box becky quick

I thought I might have some thing big and clever to say upon my return, but I haven't. I returned last week to an office with even less staff than I left with, with no prospect of having it ever back to full strength, I see even less prospect of anything moving forward.

The office and division is fixated on "Threats to kill" and "Threats to life" rather than any government targets , like drugs , guns or knife crime - I feel like I should be cutting out Coupons to go shopping with in order to get fed this week as there is a freeze on "overtime" ... is the budget all ready gone ? if so, on what ? Clearly it wasn't on pay or better conditions or even tackling crime in the area.

Two months away and I can easily see whats at fault.

It is us.

We willingly do what we should not and with some kind of weird pride step up to the line to do a job no sane person would do given the choice.

We make the job work.

Why ?

The government doesn't respect us , but then we don't do what we do for them.

We do it for the people who's voices are trampled out by the jackboot of the loudest complainer.

Its like watching Rohm and Haas stock selling for silly money

(* lets see who can out rate who )

Maybe I should look else where , Whats the weather like in Canada ?

Is this thing still on ?

* Hello is this thing still on ?





oh , good job the MP's got the award isnt it , dangerous job that.
I wonder whats next year going to be ? a lump of coal ?
