Im all for a written constitution, a UK one, theres a slight issue though... It cant conflict with the Bill of Rights , which is unassailable . We need to be completely free of EU laws, or there is obviously conflict there. It needs a vote through parliament on its contents, THEN it needs a national referendum with a minimum level affirmation value. Think all thats possible, no me neither. Yes it was in the quote you gave. The constitution could be written for the world we live in not one from the past. 1 minute ago, Rewulf said: Case..rested. He was right.

Most people who would make good managers don't want to be one - because they prefer to DO the work rather than manage it.

No vacuum in Hackney ..Stratford , plenty going off, every night , innit ! Three years is the time frame. Police officers cannot work alone simples. A complete waste of money to recruit them in isolation. There may be gaps in provision that shud certainly be filled but they need the support of investment in education, social services, probation services, prison officers and so on and so on.

More likely because they are unable to make the decisions required to be a manager. Most people 'doing the work'(whatever that is ) are likely to have no idea what management requires and have zero insight into the competing objectives that are often being juggled.

As you rightly point out, we are going seriously off topic here - my fault. "Most people 'doing the work' are likely to have no idea what management requires " By no means always so - but I could just as easily say that many people managing have little idea of the actual job and it's complexities and challenges. "competing objectives that are often being juggled" are something the work also often involes, and isn't confined to the management. I will stop now because as has been said - this is right off topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right wing voter of course only has ears for wielding the stick. Who says theyre going to work alone ? Have you seen the proposals for training these new cops ? Didnt think so. They have been putting PCSOs on the beat with regular police for YEARS now, why cant they continue to do this with regular rookie cops, works in the States does it not ? This is exactly what Im saying , a good proposal gets rubbished by the left before its barely left the mouth of the tory who uttered it.. Because its come from a tory ! Its immature and pathetic, and turns everyone away from the people who run this country , government AND opposition. The main argument you get from labour about Brexit is an excellent example. 'We will not vote for any deal that threatens the safety of jobs, the economy, and workers rights' Completely ignoring the fact that once we leave, those very factors are entirely back in the hands of the UK government, NOT the EU . Once we have left, they can vote or attempt to block any item that threatens those factors. Who knows, if they get rid of Steptoe and the Abbott , and give it 10 years for everyone to forget about it , they might one day get back into power, then they can have another referendum if they like.
