Good. The police need more funding after being gutted by the Tories for so long.
Still nowhere near what we were paid pre-2010 and what we should be paid, but it’s better than expected, and not bad given the current state of the economy and the budget. Good to see it’s funded by the home officer as well rather than individual Constabularies, this means that the public won’t be losing access to policing resources.
Policing isn’t perfect, as police officers are human.
But police pay has fallen 18% in real terms since 2008. This is the argument that the medical profession are using to put their needs above thousands of suffering members of the public. Operations postponed. Some utterly life changing. Some people may give up and their lives change for ever thanks to the doctors strike over “real terms pay”.
The police can’t strike. They can’t do anything about their pay.
They may make mistakes in the heat of the moment, when they have imperfect information, under massive stress and have to make a call. Something they are then dragged over the coals for for years after.
What they don’t do is knowingly put the public at risk and make them suffer for their own benefit.
They will watch this pay rise drop onto their pay slips. Generally shrug their shoulders and crack on.
If you’re a doctor or a nurse reading this, then feel free to explain why your profession should be treated as a special case for a real terms pay balance back to 2008.
Because the police know there isn’t the money across the public sector, and they also know that it wouldn’t be affordable for the country to do that.
Good. Shame we can’t have more of them to ease the workload on the existing staff.
4.2% is too much. The police are useless – crime currently pays. I’d like to see public sector pay performance based, similar to private sector.
