Police officers trying restrain and arrest a male offender, failing to comply with any instructions given to him. Meanwhile, a mob of animals surround, shout at, assault, and intimidate the officers for doing their jobs. Absolutely disgusting. This is Britain ๐ฌ๐ง

Be under no illusion, pretty soon this will be the norm. We have battered and battered our police to the point where there is now no longer any recourse to this behaviour, officers are leaving due to the appalling support that exists from senior managers who havenโt seen the frontline for decadesโฆ This is a national disgrace and nobody gives a ๐คฌโฆโฆ

The absolute dedication, concentration and absolute awareness of the Kings Protection Team is something else. Again, a role not often spoken about in Policing, but to watch it go on, to see these chaps in action is quite incredible. Hats off to them in such a stressful and sometimes totally unpredictable environment. ๐๐ป ๐๐ป ๐๐ป ๐๐ป ๐ซก

I have absolutely no sympathy for these auditors at all who walk about the UK provoking people and just being complete idiots. Quite frankly, at some point someone is going to get angry and deal with the situation as this woman has. They piss business owners off, they waste police time and all so they get a few views on YouTube.

Iโve always been of the view that you can be very respectful, and show your best wishes to colleagues and friends of other faiths and cultures and backgrounds without having to go to these lengths to show that. Will the Chief here wear other items of attire for other cultural events. The issue is consistency for all, you open yourself up to all sorts of criticism should you not show the same level of support to the myriad of other cohorts in society. Is this really necessary? I donโt understand why this is being done.

As I said in a previous post. Police pursuits are very dangerous. Offenders often taunt the police, and engage in actions which they believe will cause the police to cease pursuing them. Example being, no helmets on m/bikes, riding erratically, and at speed. To make matters worse, they make videos! Of these actions. All a recipe for disaster! And at no fault of the police. And should these morons come off their bike/s, the officers will absolutely face lengthy investigations from an organisation chasing another prosecution of a police officer. We expect the police to pursue and catch these thugs, and hold them to account. This criminality will only get worse unless we back our frontline cops and give them all the support they need to do their jobs effectively. Quite rightly, most would drive in the other direction, and I wouldnโt blame them at all. NB: Not sure of the date of this video, but an incredibly good example of the challenges frontline police face daily.

Provocative, Belligerent, Rude, Uneducated, Ignorant, and a total waste of space. Just some of the words Iโd use to describe this oxygen thief of an auditor! The thin blue line patch is not a โgangโ patch itโs a patch which these officers wear to remember their fallen colleagues. The colleagues who paid the ultimate sacrifice to keep morons like this safe! This video makes my blood boil!

Another idiot, wasting the policeโs time! These types of โharassingโ interactions need to be dealt with. These officers have an important job to do, and itโs not engage with a Wally, armed with an iPhone wanting to confront them over a badge which symbolises and recognises fallen officers. Jog on!

Itโs been a huge two weeks, and Iโve been completely blown away by the generosity and support we have received from so many. From news media, to Londonโs councillors, to politicians.

Iโm not quite sure what Iโve just watched, well I do, and I along with many others will find this position highly concerning. So the The Times and The Sunday Times hosted the โCrime & Justice Summitโ which was attended by of course the illustrious College of Policing CEO Andy Marsh, and a few others of note. Senior police officers and Prison Governors aided in this journey since last April by the Times and its senior journalist @RSylvesterTimes to and I quote โconsider the future of policing, the courts, sentencing and prisons โ and draw up proposals for reform.โ At this summit event it was graced by the presence of Virgin founder and billionaire, Mr. Richard Branson. Richard Branson, the billionaire who lives most of the time I might add on an island miles away from any City where crime really is an issue. Branson made a video appearance, and in this appearance he noted that, โNobody should be judged forever based on the worst moment of their lifeโ Yes, he uttered those wordsโฆ. And has been given a platform! A platform which has formed the basis of The Times and The Sunday Times 10 point plan for Crime & Justice. Iโm not sure of the โCrime Statsโ on โNecker Islandโ but Iโll assume theyโre very low if not 0! I certainly couldnโt find any during a cursory search on Google. Just pictures of Branson enjoying himself. So based on this absolutely moronic view, should none of us judge Mr. Abedi on the 22 British ๐ฌ๐ง lives killed at a music concert in Manchester, or the prison officers seriously wounded following his attack on them last week. Branson has been given a platform endorsed and attended by the College of Policing and others, to aid in the future of law and order. Nobody has called this out. And, nobody likely will. Are we seriously prepared to allow these sort of opinions to drive policy and decision making in Law and Order in this country. I sincerely hope not. I certainly donโt want it, and neither will many law abiding Britโs, and certainly not the families of the victims of the atrocity in Manchester or the families of the Prison Officers recently seriously injured by a convicted terrorist. Feel free to share this madness far and wide. Law and Order in this country is being treated with total contempt which threatens the very safety of our communities up and down the United Kingdom.

No Police Officer or PCSO should be on their own in 2025! The world is too dangerous. Sadly, we know this is never going to be the case, there isnโt the numbers, the funding, or ability to do this. I feel for this PCSO.

Can anyone in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง kindly invite Peter Hitchens out on an observation ride. Another sweeping statement that the police are one of the most useless organisations on the face of the planet. His words, not mine. I listen to this man a lot, as I did his brother, both have always fascinated me. For an incredibly intelligent person this statement is so void of any fact or accuracy itโs unbelievable. In fact Mr Hitchens solely seems to rely on his experience of a police helicopter flying out late one evening trying to locate a possible jumper from a nearby premises. Mr. Hitchens, I would happily join you in any studio to discuss the challenges of UK ๐ฌ๐ง policing rather than you come out with such unhelpful information. You sir, are better than that.

A 40 second clip which will likely make the front pages, news headlines, and have millions of views within hours. With likely large sweeping statements being made against every frontline cop in the UK ๐ฌ๐ง. I havenโt looked yet, but I can just imagine what Peter Bleaksleyโs going to writeโฆ. It wonโt be educated, it wonโt add meaning, or value, and will likely label every frontline police officer as something very derogatory. I personally hope, that a lot of senior police officers of the rank of Superintendent and above see this, watch this, and understand what their leadership and crazed doctrine and fixation on non policing matters is causing. This is a defining moment for National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and the College of Policing. You all need to lead right now, and lead far better than you are! This is no longer about you. Take note, you never ever see a senior ranked officer having these bizarre conversations, itโs always the PCโs and the Skippers. These poor PCโs and Skippers are being used as cannon fodder for increasingly concerning directions of travel with respect to policing priorities. The doctrine and direction theyโre currently being given is so off course I truly believe it is endangering the safety and security of thousands of brave frontline cops. They donโt want to be having these ludicrous conversations at all! They want to be catching proper crooks. If they donโt of course, they need to leave, but I still believe in them, and no firsthand these are directions and priorities given to them by very senior cops. The police, carry out their duties through the consent of the public, I fear that bucket of consent is running dry and could lead to devastating consequences if not rectified. Senior Officers need to take a stand, nail their colours to the mast, and push back against this madness. Communications teams in policing need to win back the public trust by getting the message out there quickly, that the police arenโt there for these trivial matters, that itโs not their responsibility and quickly redefine the priorities of the police. CRIME IS THE PRIORITY OF THE BRITISH POLICE NOT WHAT SOMEONE MIGHT SAY TO YOU. If a senior officer, Superintendent and above canโt see whatโs on the horizon if this isnโt stopped now, they need to do the right thing and leave. This goes for the HS, Yvette Cooper as well. Be warned, the patience of the public is clearly running low, you need to drag arses into your office and have serious conversations. Itโs that serious. The Public Safety Foundation Rory Geoghegan

Part 2 of this ludicrous interview with Peter Hitchens on Policing. Remembering in Part 1 the Police Service were considered the most useless organisation on the face of the planet by Mr Hitchens. Well this time, Stop & Search is a complete waste of time. โApparentlyโ every single stop and search leads to the person being searched becoming an enemy of the police! And! To really top it offโฆ. Every Arrest should be considered a failure. So, the Police are completely useless, but an arrest is a failure. I can only think, he was having a bad day!
