The Dummy’s Guide To Privatisation/Outsourcing – RetiredAndAngry
http://retiredandangry.thisistap.com/2015/07/26/the-dummys-guide-to-privatisationoutsourcing
If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. The Dummy’s Guide To Privatisation/Outsourcing. Personally I quite like the Dummy’s Guides, I find them quite useful and am not offended by the title at all. So, here goes, the Dummy’s Guide to Privatisation. I am indebted to Stella for giving me the inspiration. The Primary Object of a Private Company is to make a profit, simple as that. How can they make a profit out of Policing? Pay their existing staff less. Not Our Priority Sir. October 3, 2016.

Was It April Fools Day Yesterday? – RetiredAndAngry
http://retiredandangry.thisistap.com/2015/08/08/was-it-april-fools-day-yesterday
If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. Was It April Fools Day Yesterday? I was absolutely stunned at the amount of total bolleaux in the British Press yesterday in relation to Policing. It was so bad that I actually find it difficult to put it in an order of “badness”. A) We have the two bold headlines in The Independent;. Black people still far more likely to be stopped and searched by Police than other ethnic groups. What analysis of the GROUNDS. Was conducted by The Independent?

If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. Monthly Archives: April 2015. What On Earth Has Happened To Professional Standards? April 30, 2015. It’s a question I’ve posed before, but I’ve just read a book, The Crocodile Court. Which is basically about a West Midlands Police Sergeant who falls foul of the discipline system and what happens after that. I’ll not spoil it too much in case you want to read it. Fast Forward to 2015 and what do we have now? Professional Standards Departments who se...

This Country Has Gone Mad – RetiredAndAngry
http://retiredandangry.thisistap.com/2015/08/15/this-country-has-gone-mad
If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. This Country Has Gone Mad. No wonder the NHS is short of money. Last night Mrs Angry was talking to a member of her family who works in the NHS at a large hospital in one of our cities. Said relative has unexpectedly resigned her (highly responsible) post with effect from the end of this month. I hear you ask. I might be a crusty old gig, but this seems wrong to me on so many levels. When I was unfortunate enough to need to take my daughter to....

If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. Roll Up, Roll Up, Enjoy The Show. Well Twatter was awash with condemnation yesterday, and I have to say I’m hardly surprised. It’s been a while since I saw such a ridiculous management decision, at least a week. The Twattersphere was rent asunder by this headline in the Birmingham Mail. We hope you enjoy the show! Outrage as events company offers ticket to police misconduct hearing. A West Midlands PC. While we recognise that the text in the email ...

Little Birdhouse in My Soul. Direct from the Twilight Zone. On Language and Pedantry. As this is my first philosophical post I would like to make something clear…. This is my philosophy…. I have a certain amount of knowledge about the philosophy that has gone before me, but, generally speaking…. Any resemblance to anyone else’s ideas is purely coincidental…. If coincidences exist…. Nothing is as peevish and pedantic as men’s judgements of one another. On Being British in 2012. But with a twist…. 4th July...

If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. None So Blind As Those Who Do Not Want To See. 00 Apologies to any and all visually impaired, the title is in no way a dig at your good selves. It is very much a dig at the Establishment and Main Stream Media that cannot see what is right in front of their eyes. The BBC News ran a lengthy item. 00 No, not the legendary Think Tank, but Police Reform. Where are we with Police Reform? Sshhh Maybe Nobody Will Notice. An Open Letter To @KernowKop. 00 Ye...

On Being British in 2012 | Little Birdhouse in My Soul
https://littlebirdhouseinmysoul.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/on-being-british-in-2012
Little Birdhouse in My Soul. Direct from the Twilight Zone. On Being British in 2012. Yes this is a post about the Olympics…. But with a twist…. I was not inspired to write this because of our sports men and women…. I was inspired by the supporters…. To get back to the post…. This is my inspiration. For too long British patriotism has been linked (in my mind at least) to racism. The BNP – the British National Party. To all those that helped to remind me, thank you. I love you all. On Language and Pedantry.

Budget Cuts May Prompt Police Force Mergers – RetiredAndAngry

If You Like My Blog Tell Your Followers, If Not Tell Me. Budget Cuts May Prompt Police Force Mergers. So reads today’s headlines. What MIGHT work and be beneficial is cooperation/amalgamation/merging (call it what you will) amongst neighbouring Forces in the area of Procurement etc. We don’t need to go down the Outsourcing route, and there is certainly no reason why groups of Forces should not share common items of equipment or uniform. We cannot avoid the fact that Cruella is going to force draconian cu...
