I thought Jan Berry gave Jacqui Smith a right going over at the police conference. Here question: "Home Secretary, what is it that Mr Balls has but you do not?" was an absolute corker  :clap: :dance:

Silvery Thing:
The Police rank and file could, in theory, vote 100% in favour of striking but any government would simply over ride it and make it against the law :-.

The swines thought about doing this to the fire brigade it in years gone by when I was a serving fireman.... if the government wants to do something then they will do it :'(

The only way to fight back is to start a revolution.... "power to the people" as Woolfie Smith used to say.... ha ha we only have the power that the government want us to have :(

What Gollum and his cronies would do is invoke Emergency Powers, give Special Constables, Police Community Support Officers and other Tom, Dick or Harry involved in 'Community Safety', full Police powers, which would cause chaos.
You would end up with the likes of the 'B Specials' in Northern Ireland during the early days of 'The Troubles'. It doesn't bear thinking about.

That's not going to happen, but if there is a strike it will damage the police service badly. I believe all police officers will loose the respect of the public.

Boy didn't the home sectary get a verbal shoeing by the fed last night!

Not a fan of the idea of a police strike.. remember the storylines in Robocop?!

However, from what my sister & her man (Scottish Cops) say whenever they relate their day to day stories, there is a lot og good will work done by the rank and file police. Spending extra hours covering things when they should have been off shift, giving up rest days etc. Not sure working to rule is illegal... but it would have an impact.

Keep up the good work the boys and girls in blue!

She did, but sat there very arrogantly saying that nothing is going to change. Disapointing.
