The Police, like all the other institutions of state and society have been infested, captured and subverted. They are in effect, if not name the Stazi. They have discarded the general good will of the law abiding majority of the public, for the distrust, contempt and hatred of the demoralised, antihuman, death cultists and zealots.

The abandonment and betrayal of Peels Principles of Policing and that of the British public for ideological dogma, will not be forgotten, ignored or forgiven. There will be consequences increasingly as time progresses. When the English begin to hate... Then there's the other Celtic Nations and the Invaders, none of whom particularly like or favour the police, some have even started their own militias and courts.

The current policing in Britain fails to follow the basic principles for policing laid out by Sir Robert Peel. This failure makes our police forces illegitimate in any expression of their supposed power. A people cannot be policed without their agreement and the people are entitled to reject any attempt at political policing in order to enforce the governments will rather than the people’s will.

For me the majority who are "just following orders" for hate posts, or hand cuffing people who have been stabbed, are acting against their oath - whether or not they have been instructed to do so by superiors.

The criteria needed to join the police are somewhat watered down from what they used to be. The result is what we have now.

Interesting comment about the police force - they were formerly referred to as the police service. Sad how times have changed.

I have always understood that the police have been called the police force, right from from its framework establishment by The Metropolitan Police Act of 1829. Referring to the whole structure as the police service is a much more recent phenomenon.

Me too, it always used to be the Police Force.

Interestingly, I Googled the “motto” of my local Police… it was: To Serve and Protect with PRIDE!

Where PRIDE is delineated as: Professionalism, Respect, Innovation, Dedication, Excellence!

That last part was an important distinction 😂🤣

100%. I was brought up to have respect, but respect has to be earned in any area of life - it is not a right.

Personally I always abide by do unto other as they do to you, with interest.
