But the generous overtime and bonuses some officers get is in direct compensation for two fundamental regulations that we adhere to:
* We can be prosecuted criminally for neglect of duty.
* We must work the days and hours we are told to, according to operational need.
Few of us who live in Britain would disagree with another fundamental principle: that people should not be forced to work without pay, and the more inconvenient/difficult/distressing the work, the more they should be compensated.

My view is that if we cannot be made compulsorily redundant and we retain our decent pension rights, then we have little to complain about in the context of what is happening to almost everyone else.
