I sometimes pass the time buying and doing up minor project cars and often see quite cheap cars on Marketplace that are ULEZ compliant, sounds like he ought to be changing that car to save £70 a week.

Actual on the ground police work and getting rid of the age old stink of corruption in the Met apparently hasn't been anywhere on the priority list. Useless as she is, Cressida **** exemplifies the price we have to pay when officially sanctioned diversity trumps ability. The watchword for all meaningful appointments, whether in the police or elsewhere, should simply be merit and fitness for the role, not some points based process looking primarily at race, gender or sexual orientation. Succinctly put, sadly will never be put right now that the lunatics are in charge of the asylum? Seemingly ability is never a consideration nowadays? It happened when I was at work, special selection, special terms, special reduction in ability, university access rigged. They had all walked away in 4 months as it was way too ard.

Which is a factor influencing the so called systemic racism and sexism which the police force in general, and the Met in particular, are always being accused of. The reality is that resentment and anger are perfectly natural when exceptional officers are continually being overlooked for promotion simply because they're white males. There's a clue in the words "equal opportunity" because equal is the very thing it isn't when all too often it's loaded in favour of minorities. Affirmative action, aka positive discrimination, is not a recipe for a successful and effective police force - or anything much else.

12gauge82 Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 While I don't believe Cressida **** will be a loss to policing, what does worry me is it would appear he sacked her for not being 'woke' enough, she already had her officers taking the knee at BLM riots and the like. Who on earth will we get next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
