  1. Magnanimous of May to give back some rights to initiate prosecutions. Wasn't it the case that police had 100% of these rights pre CPS?
  2. Binge drinking and drug misuse will be tackled by the coalition as a way of enhancing police effectiveness. Let's hope it actually occurs
  3. Are MPs paying more for their pensions as she is saying police must do? We have been paying 11% for 30+ years - what have MPs paid?
  4. May is addressing the Federation with the same arrogant detachment that underlines many of the changes that are crass and ill-conceived
  5. Governments changes made with compassion may be forgiven if in error. Ploughing on with dogmatic arrogance with police deserves opprobrium
  6. @ODeV_ncl ! See you when we next visit Newcastle Gateshead Hilton
  7. As May pursues the most ill-advised restructuring of police since 1829 she no doubt believes that Melville's resignation is insignificant
  8. Direct entry rises from the ashes of Trenchard's attempts at an officer cadre. Windsor's report directed towards direct entry at two levels
  9. Observer, Sunday show parlous state of policing in the hands of the Tories. Political ideologues are ruining the police service.
  10. Another attack on the essential fabric and premise of the police service. The drive to further privatization of fundamental police duties.
  11. Coalition government deconstructing of the police and suppor services such as the FSS will do irreparable harm to law enforcement in the UK
  12. How long will it take the UK police service to recover from the serious damage caused by the coalition government. Ideological & illogical
  13. Senior local and national politicians seem set to vie for crime commissioner elections. Potentially apolitical? Potentially impartial? Odds?
  14. Latest crime figures point to coalition lunacy in reducing police numbers. Add the madness of crime commissioners - potential for disaster.
  15. Donald Neilson, the Black Panther, is dead. His arrest was due to diligent uniformed police officers. Many like them may now face redundancy
  16. Hogan-Howe is Met commissioner. Hugh Orde is probably suffering for being accurate in appraisal of HM Govt ill-considered police proposals.
  17. Milliband is correct in saying Cameron and May are being doctrinaire in their dealings with police reform as were Blunkett and Smith.
  18. Tony Blair says that the police need to know they have the backing of politicians. Jackie Smith left them I'm no doubt. She was not alone.
  19. Cameron wishes to tackle antisocial behavior but coalition spending cuts have ended primary school ASB programme in Newcastle upon Tyne
  20. Continual mixed messages about policing civil disorder have made the job of the police more not less difficult
