Officers say the offer is "an absolute joke" and "farcical" amid a cost of living crisis and a "tough on crime" government.

    How are the govt expecting to attract 500 new police to the force?

      Maybe they don’t want the smart ones?

      I don’t know, but I don’t think either part of the equation is that stupid, so I’m going with emulating our big brothers, unfortunately. I hope I’m wrong…

      edit: OK correction:

      After rejecting the government’s offer initially in September 2023, police were presented with the same offer on Friday.

      Obviously the negotiators/government ARE that fucking pig-headed. I fully support the industrial action - I hope it’s brutal.

      Except they can’t revert to industrial action, so, now what?
