Here is the original report in the Leicester Mercury http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/fewer-police-remembrance-parades-leicestershire-623730.<br />No hyperbole, no DM 'sadface' 'outrage' photos, just straightforward coverage. FYI during my time in the police when there was the capacity via Home Beats/Safer Neighbourhood Teams to cover events efforts were made to cover local parades as far as possible. Some will require no police input at all, larger ones in town and city centres would require more of a police presence but there it was a well practiced plan. The power to close roads for events is vested in the local authority, not the police. You may be interested to know that in the early 1990's the Sheehy report into the police did state that the police should not be delivering services to local events free but should charge where appropriate the going rate. <br />After all PMTM did say that the job of the police is to 'fight crime, nothing more, nothing less'. I for one look forward to the howls when policing is delivered by Sodexho.<br />I await the reports of cancelled events.<br />RetiredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-83163986011735070452017-10-24T14:59:46.830+01:002017-10-24T14:59:46.830+01:00It's actions like this that are increasingly c...It's actions like this that are increasingly causing the police to be held under suspicion and indeed to become hated by the law abiding general public. The fact that they can't be arsed or can't find the resources to police Rememberance Day and similar events whilst being able and willing to go and nick someone in Leominister, Herefordshire for an 'offensive' poem.<br /><br />It's the dichotomy between the contempt with which the police treat things like Rememberance Day or people's hard won right to speak freely about various issues and the obsequious way that they treat certain special interest groups that is being noticed. This is causing a lot of people to be more pissed off with the police than they otherwise would be.<br /><br />https://www.fahrenheit211.net/2017/10/24/the-thought-police-come-to-leominster/Fahrenheit211http://www.fahrenheit211.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-56328425097386417052017-10-24T14:04:11.091+01:002017-10-24T14:04:11.091+01:00Maybe half a dozen should put down mats and bob up...Maybe half a dozen should put down mats and bob up and down, they won't be disturbed then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-80138093912903371542017-10-24T12:39:33.886+01:002017-10-24T12:39:33.886+01:00Couldn't the RBL get some travellers to block ...Couldn't the RBL get some travellers to block the road?

On the day, over 30 Police officers around the county, me included, turned up on our rest days, in uniform, to do road closures and escorts. The resulting dressing down may have been the point I realised I was not going to achieve high rank.<br />The Chief Constable was further shamed when shown a photo of an ex Army volunteer matching at the back, wearing a sign saying, "I'm doing this because the Police can't be bothered". <br />Thank goodness I'm out of it and, Police or no Police, I will he parading on 12th November, like many other ex Army and Police colleagues around the country.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
