Yes, @mlbenson, it was at Southwark Park that I began to wonder what the purpose was of compelling us to go repeatedly backwards and forwards in fenced off corridors, a process lasting an hour, when we could have walked straight across the park in five minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@starbuck26401 These figures are from 'The Police Remuneration Review Body 6th Report England and Wales 2020', p.14. I don't think your case on police pay is very strong. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@starbuck26401. Police pay fluctuates.Even so 'in 2018/19 median full-time gross annual earnings for officers were 24% higher than associate professional and technical occupations(down from 27% in 2017/18), and 4% higher than professional occupations(down from 8% in 2017/18) — PolitiTweet.org

.@starbuck24601 Policing in the countries you name, with their civil codes and giant armed state militias, is (thank heaven) a totally different occupation from policing in Britain. Have you never *heard* of Robert Peel? I actually suspect not. — PolitiTweet.org

Piffle, @starbuck24601. In the 1960s the police were responsible for security of commercial premises, parking enforcement and prosecution, all major tasks now farmed out to huge private companies or giant state bureaucracies. — PolitiTweet.org

.@starbuck24601. There have numerous calls for more pay, disguised as protests against 'budget cuts' & indistinguishable from other public sector unions.Please point me to an organised police protest against the closure of police stations or withdrawal of regular foot patrol. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes .@colinkeating19., The police were already being run by sociologists and trained to be paramilitary social workers, as long ago as 1987. The revolution which destroyed policing took place in the 1960s. See my 2004 book, The Abolition of Liberty . https://t.co/QM3haMLMuq — PolitiTweet.org

@starbuck4601 Call volume is a direct result of withdrawal of regular foot patrols and the resulting collapse in regular contact between police and law-abiding public. Burglary, mugging, vandalism and anti-social behaviour are all unaltered by 'technological revolution' . — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 Special interest lobbying .@starbuck24601. In the 1960s there were *far* fewer officers (per head and absolutely) than now. They had many more duties and no white-collar back-up. Yet they did the job 100 times better and were loved for it. — PolitiTweet.org

.@UKPolicePensUtd What an evasion of responsibility that is, and what a clue to the attitudes of modern officers.Why did the *public* deserve the withdrawal of foot patrols, the closure of police stations, the switch from prevention to reaction? Old, maybe. But wise? No. — PolitiTweet.org
