They are, however, under enormous pressure from those counter-culture groups which now infest our political landscape. They are highly organised lobbyists who can concentrate an extremely effective and powerful fire on any individual who steps out of line (i.e. who doesn't push their agenda).<BR/><BR/>If the highest levels of the Police were elected by the public, they would have to change their priorities or be out of a job.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-24947631272938690282009-04-01T16:57:00.000+01:002009-04-01T16:57:00.000+01:00"I keep ignoring them in the hope that they'll qui...<I>"I keep ignoring them in the hope that they'll quietly wither away but reactions such as that of plod in this case don't help matters."</I><BR/><BR/>Indeed.

That said, there are very many, very ambitious supervisors chasing the next pip/or crown who will use tosh like this as examples to support their diversity driven national competency framework applications.

I'd advise him to seek civil redress and sue for something. There are several ways of saying, `Why don't you cluck off`. The criminal law is clogged up enough without crud like this.Hogdayafternoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188146617570775741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-28562457238873568702009-04-01T10:21:00.000+01:002009-04-01T10:21:00.000+01:00"Was this a conference of lemon suckers?"Not sure....<I>"Was this a conference of lemon suckers?"</I><BR/><BR/>Not sure.

But then I thought, bollocks, if they are doing that particular role they are probably part of the problem and support all this nonsense. If they had any integrity they'd get a REAL policing job or leave the force and become bloody social or outreach workers. Complete nonsense.
