@BGBF_UK not sure if you’re aware but we have a greyhound retirement home in Hersham that’s very well supported by the community and developers what to shut it down and evict the greyhounds. @monicabeharding

The mayor of London posted about having a coffee and he got views of almost 10million and mostly hate. This isn't normal behaviour. This is proof (along with the meltdown over a bunch of ppl praying in a square) of just how deeply radicalised the right-wing have become.

@Daniel_Grigg @TheGreenParty They also rate Real Housewives of Cheshire. Is your point you people can be stupid just like everyone else? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry, young people don't rate Keir Starmer or Nigel Farage, they rate Zack Polanski. @TheGreenParty

@EvilSashPioneer I do think consideration should be given to not capping cheats. They should be a role model, he is not.

Karma Maguire cheating again and correctly sent off #CPFC #MUFC

@forceinsights Look into hours worked. Lack of rest days and rest. Remember officers opt out of WTD as thanks to cuts it’s the only way they can do their job. I’m not suggesting that we limit the hours but it should be a consideration when shit happens.

Looking at the published research on this over a coffee. One big gap apparent already. No studies on impact of single versus double crewing on emergency driver safety. Seems a significant oversight when we consider cognitive loading of the emergency driver.

@forceinsights The Fed are too distracted ATM. It certainly is something that they should have been fighting for years but spend way too much time infighting. Good luck with your research 👍🏼

@cycleprawn Be a very good issue for Federations to take up I suspect. Am curious now so am going to look at what peer reviewed research is available.

There is an argument to explore that a high speed driving assessment once every 5 years is inadequate to ensure competent execution of driving skills at speed & under the pressures of emergency driving & that it’s unreasonable to expect flawless performance.

@forceinsights That’s a big rock. Unfortunately The College of Policing and NPPC are sitting on this rock so it can’t be moved.

@cycleprawn Yep. Perhaps it’s time to look under the rocks & expose the research further that might clearly demonstrate the inadequacies of training & support investigation into incidents like this. We can better explain the adverse outcomes & hold forces accountable where necessary.

@forceinsights Agreed but that is the reality. Advanced car was reduced from 6 weeks to 4 weeks. A cost/ time saving move that reduced training. It’s not just driver training that’s affected. Training budgets were slashed and we are seeing/suffering the impact.

@cycleprawn Agree. It’s a much more challenging environment & training standards have perhaps not taken that sufficiently into account either. A failure to resource is not a reasonable response not to train cops to the standard required to keep them & the public safe. 👍

@QcWynter My mates company has directed staff to park on the street and get tickets in London. It’s cheaper than paying parking and they don’t always get tickets.

This story caught my eye the other day. NCP charged £35 for 6 hrs parking in a Manchester car park. On street parking was limited to 2 hrs. Overstay fine was £50, reduced to £25 if paid within 14 days. Man needed more than 2 hrs. £35 versus £25. Brilliant. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@DavidDavisMP Thanks to your @Conservatives destroying the police service they’ve come up with new ideas to keep your ex voters safe and now you want to destroy that. You’re a disgrace

Live facial recognition algorithms are well known to have problems with bias, particularly with ethnic minorities, yet the Government and police forces keep trying to push for its use despite it lacking any legislative basis or oversight. news.sky.com/story/essex-po…

@grahamwettone @Prison_Screw Spot on Graham it’s about respect for fallen colleagues & unity with their families. Never seen it promoted by the far right only ever seen SM auditor nobodies complaining that it is. When did Met Seniors start thinking these parasites were worth listening to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Prison_Screw Utter nonsense - its a charity badge & supports families of fallen officers. No evidence of far (not hard) right groups in policing.

Sir Mark Rowley has banned the police thin blue line badge, in part because it’s promoted by hard right groups in the force. The persistent flouting of this rule is a worry for us all. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

@BettyBoochichi2 Grafter. Fair play to them. Takes its toll on you especially family life.

Norfolk Constabulary is facing questions after it emerged a single officer had received £30,000 in overtime payments last year, with the force's total overtime bill topping £5.7m. The officer, who has not been identified, is one of 25 who were all paid more than £17,600 for working extra hours, on top of their salaries. Almost nine out of ten officers on the force received overtime payments, with an average of almost £3,000 going to each one. The figures have raised alarm, with critics saying extra hours are draining budgets, with crimes going unsolved and victims unheard. Darwin Friend, head of research at the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Taxpayers across Norfolk will be deeply concerned by these extraordinary overtime costs.” "With police budgets already stretched, spending millions of pounds on overtime payments is simply unsustainable.” "Norfolk police need to ensure every penny of taxpayers' money is spent protecting the public and catching criminals." In total, the force made £5,012,402 in overtime payments to 1,714 officers - about nine out of ten of the total number - and £782,353 to 603 police staff. Of the top 25 overtime earners, 23 were male and two were female. The force say the spending is because of the hundreds of additional working hours clocked up policing large-scale weekly protests and counter protests that began last summer over the Brook Hotel in Bowthorpe being used to house migrants. Similar protests were also staged at the Park Hotel in Diss and in Great Yarmouth adding to the overtime bill. A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said: “We recognise this is a significant overtime cost, and much of this was driven by the demands of policing a significant increase in the number of protests last summer.” “Overtime is often required to police protests or large events, otherwise staff would have to be removed from core policing duties which would diminish our ability to respond to emergency calls or undertake neighbourhood policing.” “Police regulations require that when rest days are cancelled at short notice, which is often the case when we are notified of protests at short notice, officers are compensated, and these national rules apply to all forces.” Nick Taylor, chair Reform in Norwich, who stood for councillor in Bowthorpe losing by one vote, said police were underfunded and criticised the “extra burden” placed on the force by migrants being housed in the county. He said: “Norfolk police is traditionally underfunded. People would be shocked just how few officers are on duty at any one time.” “We need extra officers but instead money is being spent on overtime for an issue caused by people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.” “The Brook Hotel has been an issue for four years with concerns among local people about who is there and associated criminality.” "Inevitably that adds costs to the taxpayer money that could be better spent.” At the height of the protests last summer, Norfolk Chief Constable Paul Sanford called for extra resources from the government, saying he could not "crackdown" on crime "if I've got dozens of police officers stood outside a hotel". Other demands on manpower also came from policing protests about the Gaza conflict and demonstrations on issues ranging from the Norwich Western Link road to animal rights and transgender rights. Police have said overtime can be the most cost-effective means of dealing with demands outside of day-to-day policing. Overtime is paid to the usual hourly rate between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday and time a half between 7pm and 7am. Extra hours worked on Saturdays and Sundays are paid at time and a half, but on public holidays it is double time. Continued…

@SWPalace They came up with a battle plan. Frustrate, fall over at every opportunity, moan, cry, feign injury, delay play, pressure the referee. If that’s their usual standard of non football how the fuck do they have a fan base?

Annoyingly neutrals will watch this interview and think they were robbed. Larnaca battled, and fair play to them, but they did not deserve to progress at all. Red was fair. Result was fair.

@Ed_Acteson @FYPFanzine 🤣

People said Palace are shit in Europe. They called us embarrassing. Well, we just narrowly beat the 2nd best side in Cyprus. At the 3rd attempt. In extra time. After they went down to 9 men. Think a few apologies are owed.

I take it back. They’re not all idiots Karishma Vijay is outstanding. I’d give her a job. #theapprentice

@ThePalaceWay Need to be trained. More incompetent than corrupt

70% of the possession, yet 3x as many fouls. UEFA and their referees need to be investigated. #CPFC

@JxmesCPFC Down to 9 open goal and of course we hit the post. WTAF was that.

Oh fuck. Larnaca down to 10 men. Other than a low block, what can’t we break down? 10 men. What about 10 men in a low block? Larnaca 2-1 Palace incoming 😂😂

Embarrassing #cpfc

Those Larnaca players are very fragile. Hope they’ll be ok later. #cpfc
