Police Numbers (31/10/13)

The BBC reports that an independent survey of police officers in England and Wales confirms that over 9 in 10 (91%) believe that it is time for the organisation that represents them - the Police Federation (police trade union) - to change.

The survey of 12,500 serving police officers also found 64% are dissatisfied with the performance of the federation and that its members are "appalled" at the damage the 'Plebgate' affair is doing to the Police.

In the understatement of the year, the Police Federation called the initial findings "worrying" - while reserving its position until the full results are published in January 2014.

No great hurry then, just move along there - in your own time!

All joking aside, I think the Police and Police Federation are to be congratulated for asking what their officers/members really think - in an independent survey - and having the courage to publicise the results.

Now I ask you this: Can anyone imagine Len McCluskey and Unite doing the same thing over Grangemouth?
