"George" "Yes, Gov." I've got a notice that you're being investigated by the IOPC for that job back in 73. When you arrested the team of armed blaggers. One died aged 86 yesterday. 50 yrs after you nicked him. Apparently, you didn't offer him two sugars in his tea.

K division colleagues only. The email is out re the pay offer. If your off work and have no means to reply in the next week or so. Please feel free to DM @kdivreps who will collate on your behalf. A simple YES or NO and who you are(rank also) is sufficient. Federated ranks only.

Repost if you owned a pair of these.

@theranger1872 Tell the member to make contact privately by DM and I can assist.👍

@kdivreps Understand time pressure. That’s why you use all mass messaging available. This isn’t work, so there’s no locus for team or dept etc. The individual is the member of the SPF and the circumstances I describe, and others, should be considered.

Deal or no deal - you know what I’m asking about

@theranger1872 Speak to those in your team, dept office etc. We K reps have roughly two weeks to contact 600 plus people. If there are individuals keen to offer up opinion on the offer, feel free to discuss the matter in private. Or you could send a private message to this rep account ??

@kdivreps So again, how do those not at work find out when the meeting is? You see the flaw in the approach you describe?

@theranger1872 Sorry No to both Q’s 👍

@kdivreps Or was your ‘No’ an answer to the first question of the two I asked?

@theranger1872 Internal email

@kdivreps So how do those on leave, for example, find out when the meeting is?

@theranger1872 No

@kdivreps Just to clarify, you’re going to base your vote on a Twitter poll? Will you post the meeting info here for those not at work?
