Re: Should the police be able to go on strike?
A couple of points spring to mind:

(a) If its illegal for the Police to go on strike, then who will arrest them and charge them if they DO go on strike?

(b) If they do go on strike, will anyone notice? I haven't clapped eyes on a rozzer all week.

I was however proceeding down a thoroughfare yesterday and I did espy three,yes three PCSO's on mountain bikes.

Two of them had dismounted and entered a nearby cake and pie shop,presumably with the intention of purchasing some comestibles for their elevenses.

The third had been left outside in the cold,presumably to guard the bikes lest they be nicked,and he did seem to be watching enviously as his colleagues exchanged pleasantries with the rather attractive young lady behind the counter.

(c) The deal would seem to be patently unfair. All coppers in the UK should get a deal which seems equitable. The cost, i beleive is £40m. Small change to HM Government. I noted on the news last night that an initial aid figure of £240m was to be direct to Afghanistan to rebuild some schools and mosques (that we and others have just blown up?)

One of the more recent trends of British Industry is to pay people who are doing exactly the same job, different rates. For example,you could be working for a major company,your colleage in town A gets paid more or less than you despite being on the same job grade/description/duties etc.

No doubt this idiot minister will get booted or leave before Christmas. After all,the Police are the agents of the state. After that, we only have the army and that would'nt go down too well would it?
