Bitch!
This woman is a cannabis-smoking, back-stabbing bitch.
For anyone not recognising this useless waste of space, this is the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, the one who has stabbed the English & Welsh police in the back by coming up with the wonderful money-saving device of refusing to give police officers their pay rise when it was due (September) and saving the grand total of some £30million by denying us a pay rise for 3 months, thus bringing our pay rise down to 1.9%.
Yes, I know I mentioned this a couple of days ago but I’m annoyed, bloody annoyed. I’ve given nearly 30 years of my life to the service of the people of this country. All I’m after is a fair pay deal. What I don’t expect is to earn less money next year than I do this year. My mortgage has gone up, my petrol bill keeps going up (£1.02 per litre), my house insurance went up £8 a month this week, my council tax is higher this year than it was last year. My pay is going up a poxy 1.9 per cent.
Meanwhile, I guarantee this old jobsworth above is being lauded in the corridors of Whitehall for saving the country a poxy £30 million quid.
They’ve done fuck all to protect Mrs Miggins from being robbed by illegal immigrants, they’ve done fuck all to stem the tide of chav scum costing the country millions in anti-social behaviour. They’ve done fuck all to protect the public by keeping those most dangerous to the public locked up for their proper sentences.
But they have saved £30million by shafting the police, who they know can’t do a single, solitary thing to stop them. She must be so proud.
I shall be making sure that I am financially stable with this ‘rise’ by saving myself £20 a month and withdrawing my subscription to the Police Federation, since clearly, they are as toothless as I had thought they were. If someone can actually work out the sums, let me know if that makes up for the 3 month’s pay rise I’m not getting this year.

Just to cheer you up even more, it has just been announced that Scottish police WILL have their pay backdated. It is absolutely scandalous but sadly it is probably another 2 years before we the electorate can kick this government out of office.

You have my every sympathy mate but it seems that this government is intent on treating the police just as disgracefully as they have our military

I feel your pain brother - this kind of shit happens in the US all the time. Politicians don’t give a rat’s ass about cops or citizens. Their only concerns are getting elected and re-elected so they don’t have to actually work for a living. When crime is what the voters care about then they will hire more cops and pay them better (just not much better). When the budget is fucked - they start fucking the employees. It’s why I retired. Loved the people I worked with and usually enjoyed the work - but I hated all the elected bastards and bitches that were in charge.

Ah, but its not just £30 Million she will be saving. A good few people will vote with their feet, sick of being sh*t on time and time again. Once they leave they can be replaced with ’student officers’ who are a lot cheaper. This way they get to say they have taken on even greater numbers of new police officers and saving money on the way. The fact that all the experience and knowledge will be lost will be treated as an acceptable loss.
I have been looking at the job pages in the local paper. Don’t know if its just a kneejerk reaction yet. If I find a job that looks right I may have a go though!
