iamthemoon Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 well done boys and girls in blue. the police are not protesting about the loss of 200 pounds, they are protesting about the back handed way the government has gone about taking the money from them. i will not go into the intricacies of the matter it has been covered before in the news and on this forum. they have my 100% support. i applaud anyone who gives up time and puts themselves in the way of danger. doing it for nothing? as a special does?? they are extraordinary people who desreve respect if nothing else from every other member of the public. darbees - you are always very opinionated when the conversation get round to policing. i suggest you give the specials a try and them put your opinion up front.

Darbees Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The boys (and girls) in blue go into this job knowing full well what the salary is and what the work entails. It is a good salary and they also enjoy very good sickness and pension benefits which the private sector can only dream of. I can turn your remark suggesting I join the specials around and suggest that Mr/Ms Average copper has a look to see what s/he has to do to earn that amount in private sector.

This part alone is priceless, as stated most people can only dream of such benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 But doesnt their walking into the job knowing what it entails a reason alone to give `em a pat on the back? If I knew the aggro Id have to put up with during a shift, I certainly wouldnt have the nads to take on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 What, if they had been steelworkers or Miners they no doubt would have been portrayed as a money grabbing mob, why is this protest a impressive sight. Actually thats a bloody good point. I wonder who will lead mounted charges at THEM and start fights with them, like they did to the miners and poll tax protesters....

If people give them a pat on the back, that's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_shef Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I agree with Malky and Jabber-- who police's the police? Get Arthur Scargill down to London to sort out the protestors!! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkoak Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 This part alone is priceless, as stated most people can only dream of such benefits. And do 'most people' pay £324.92 towards their pension, as I did this and every other month? No. I agree the pension scheme is a good one, but look at the sums we contribute towards it!

Eddie_shef Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Do you not contribute that amount as it is a % of your salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
