Can @PFEW_HQ reform itself into an effective organisation representing the interests of Police Officers nationally? Please RT for bigger sample.

There are days when you cannot do right for doing wrong. That's the way it is. Keep trying to do right is all that there is.

Our police officers deserve better than a Police Federation embroiled in scandal. Home Office Qs yesterday.

If true in this post doing all the heavy lifting. I suspect Ben is amplifying this nonsense without bring very invested in it. There's a lot of this about.

The Wetherspoons poppy controversy has taken another turn. According to the manager at Wetherspoons in Gosport, refusing entry to customers wearing a Remembrance poppy is supposedly company policy. If true, that is absolutely disgraceful. The poppy has been a symbol of remembrance for generations, honouring the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country. It isn't divisive. It isn't political. It's something that should unite us as a nation. Wetherspoons needs to urgently clarify whether this really is company policy. I've been a loyal Wetherspoons customer for years, regularly visiting for breakfast. I won't spend my money somewhere that treats the poppy as something to be ashamed of.

Who had Spoons going ultra woke on their bingo card for this month? It can surely only be a matter of time before they move to a vegan only menu and start playing BeeBop classics on the PA.

I hold little love for Spoons. But You can buy a poppy in many Spoons pubs. You can wear your poppy in a Spoons pub unless you are refused entry for other reasons. Spoons are many things but "woke" is not one of them.

in 1817, awaiting the arrival of a massive statue of Ramesses II (known in greek as Ozymandias) at British shores, Percy Shelley and Horace Smith proposed a duel, to see who could write a better sonnet inspired by the statue and an inscription. A generational mogging ensued.

Learned nothing but how to do superficial populism during his time as a Home Office stooge. How sad.

Serious offenders are escaping justice citing their mental health. The number ruled unfit to plead has nearly doubled. We need an urgent investigation.

I am genuinely honoured to have secured some time with a member of serial 502. You might not heard of them, but you will of heard of one of its members , the murder of Police Constable Keith Blakelock QGM. We talk about the events of the Broad Water Farm riot in October 1985, but just as importantly we pay tribute to Keith and his family, whose killer still remains at large. May we never forget his name and legacy. Podcast drops November 🌱

Strong evidence that @Glos_Police have been badly and incompetently led and managed for at least several years. It's the front line I feel sorry for. I will also bet coffee that sceptical voices did not prosper.

Today we published our latest PEEL inspection for @Glos_Police. We found that the constabulary’s performance has declined in many areas since its last inspection, including how it is managed, how it protects vulnerable people and how well it investigates crime.
Gloucestershire Constabulary PEEL inspection gradings shown in a colour-coded table. No areas are graded Outstanding (dark green) or Good (green). One area is graded Adequate (yellow): police powers and public treatment. Five areas are graded Requires Improvement (bright red): developing a diverse and inclusive workforce; preventing and deterring crime; responding to the public; safeguarding children and adults; and managing fraud. Two areas are graded Inadequate (dark red): leadership and force management, and investigating crime.

Time was that this would have been cause for top team resignations, career death and shame.

Is there something rotten at the @PFEW_HQ ? It's starting to smell badly
Lee Broadbent@leembroadOct 9
The 18.5million pound question??? With rumors circulating of an £18.5m black hole at PFEW_HQ - members would be well within their rights to ask, who’s looking after our money?
