Police Wage reductions, hear me out

[Cheesy]

someone pass me a tissue...im gonna laugh my guts up.

your part of a fasist bunch of bully boys, be you one or not is irrelevent. I will bet you have turned a blind eye to your team breaking the law your suppossed to uphold. did you have the balls to say its wrong....did you fuck. just deserts, i hope you and your wife get laid off.

welcome to the real world

Sorry fella, but you're a bell end.

Actually, I take that back, I'm not sorry at all. Obviously you're very bitter about something, but to hope people lose thier jobs is indeed the mark of a complete bell end.

in the last 18 years i have been mostly on the right side of the law, however when i have been on the wrong side i find myself wanting to headbutt the wall. You cannot so much as sigh when in the company of an officer as arrest is 99.99% garaunteed, even if you're in the right. i've never heard the phrase 'i'm on nobody's side' sound so complete total bollocks in my life. i wish i could phrase it alot better, and i'm in no sense anti-justice as i have a clear sense of right and wrong, as well as having a phase where i wanted to join. but i have lost an awful lot of faith in the force.

Unfortunately,and probably to the surprise of many,an officers hands are often tied when it comes to dealing with an incident,the use of discretion was taken away many years ago,much to the detriment of both the service and society in my opinion.On many occasions officers are as frustrated as the public and they go home very disillusioned with the law,the job and their role in it all.

We're all in this together people. Unless you are big in the world of finance that is.

Let's all just roll our sleeves up, toil for the greater good and accept that when we're not fit enough to be of any use anymore, we'll be lucky if there's anyone around to wipe our decrepit arses for us. That's as good as it gets.

Personally I think 90% of us will be dead and the other 10% will wish we were within a generation.

And now ....a song

Thought the same my self as I wrote it but stand by what I said........ But when the home Secretary hears someone smash her back window she will get an immediate response as she is protected 24/7, what about jo public

Jo Public will have her back doors smashed in. Apparently.

Just KNEW that was coming

I`m sorry but I find it terribly hard to sympathise with someone with £70,000 coming through the door every year,when all I took home two years back was no more than £5,500 as a builder . You have only had a paycut now,deedums.
So this recession is just starting to affect your family , well frig me, it has affected mine for years,I have nearly paid off the debt accumulated, hey ho its the career path that I chose . Bring a packed lunch to work .

£5.5k in a year?

Whats your first name? Bob?

I'd say that is more a reflection of your quality of work than anything else.

As you say, I find it terribly hard to sympathise with a tradesman that can only get £100 a weeks worth of work. Why not join the Police - piece of piss and £35k a year for helping old ladies onto buses and giving directions to tourists. Oh yes - there's the added perk of twatting students with your riot stick every few months.

that really did make me LOL

Yep, utter rubbish. My self employed bro in law is a roofer and he's got more than £5.5k stashed under his bed so the tax man doesn't get his mits on it, he's good at his job though.

wish I'd been offered a paycut instead of being made redundant

no fucking generous early pension at age 40 either in the private sector

don't know they're born

 

[rickmcfc]

my heart bleeds, how much does a nurse get please tell me

typical copper knows nothing about what went on but decides i was in the wrong...

and your reply seems to advocate violence before tried against a jury of my peers...mmm im getting the word...mmm twat

Newly qualified,with unsocial hours payments etc. - about 25k

Decent time served with average overtime 35k - 40k - i know plenty.

I'm not a copper.
Drop the abuse,i havn't stooped to that level.

Read all the thread, the moaning copper said he married a fellow officer so 35k plus 35k equals 70k before overtime.

LOL, read the OP`s thread people. Dont just look at it ,or shout others down well spotted mac ,£70,000 .two police officers living together .
I know a couple of coppers that I do work for, they have taken the Pay freeze on the chin,as have all the nurses I know. Its only for two years for fecks sake,wouldnt mind that kind of job security.

I`m happy to make savings where I can ,whoosh went the packed lunch then ? Its an example of sacrificing . Plus the fact most of them hang around the takeaways round our way,and manage to plot up and eat it .

Read my previous post,i held my hands up to that gaff.

Woosh? nothing went over my head,i was using your remark to empathise a point.As for takeaways,more necessity than a choice.[/quote]

My fiance is a nurse and has been for a few years. The starting salary for a nurse is £21,600 so nowhere near your estimates. As for overtime etc and doing bank shifts, you can add maybe £4-6k a year on that. To say the average nurse earns up to £40k a year is laughable. Nurses are underpaid compared to police officers.

Rick I think the poster was giving the salaries of coppers not nurses
