My cousins will not be amused over this.


I apologise to all BiB on board over this .. ist not BiB bashing ..

I bring to attention so you make point of watching the show on C4. I posted this on Paul's site for comment as well.

Lieber von und gone und Lambo und my hero on there .. Dibs.. I think I may have to hide under the little tank again over this .. Und I am really only posting so that lieber can post their answers ..because I do know that they are like Nina (explained if you read further ) und not per the sad examples she gives.

OK... we had the "Secret Policeman" who showed some rather worrying failures in recruitment. This resulted in a number of North West Forces sacking these "pathetic excuses of humanity"

But now we have Nina Hobson. A detective.

She took break after getting disillusioned - returned in uniform. She concealed camera in her crisp white shirted bosoms.

She find morale und team spirit did not exist at Leics police station. She find sexism und bizarre attitude to rape

Quote the policewoman Nina:


A senior policeman told a trainee to take a prostitute's claim of rape with a pinch of salt..


Not getting at you von.. but this seem to be at odds with post of yours.. Perhaps you (und the other BiB on board can comment without rancour und over defensiveness on this finding from the Policewoman
und she also say she hears :

"if girl wear short skirt.. she get what she deserve"


It seem she has this on camera... If so.. und she ist cop. I do not see how doctored in any way. Bear in mind .. we keep being told that the "camera never lies" - though in a highly edited footage und I can question as I do video my own kittens for my relatives.. und I do edit out the bits which show a bit too much sassiness, I keep these for selves though . .. ist good threat to show their "sweethearts"

There ist more ... per the her article which did appear - admit it - in "Wail"

She describe

1. how officer ignore injured man "because he wanted to wartch football back at station

2. How officer refuse 999 call because he want to finish his doughnuts

3. How police ist target driven.

She give a worrying example.

Police have targets und performance related pay ist calculated on number of arrests made. (Hardly a basis for justice if true.. )

She say this result in this "PAPERWORK" which prevent the speedy reply to the 999 call too

There are examples of

"OK to park on these double yellows as car has "POLICE" written all over it.

She say the lackadaisical approach to doing the job seriously undermine the respect we as the non uniformed public have..und reflects that in her initial training over a decade ago. the focus was on pro-active policing und crime prevention und not meeting some arrest target for Tone's shilling.

I think this will be a very interesting viewing. Make point of watching und please .. we should keep the open mind until we see this.

Am not making a BiB Bash..honestly lieber gone, mungo, Liebster Dibs und co.

Am bringing a serious programme to objective attention.. I think perhaps comment should wait until we have seen the programme if we are to be fair minded.

As usual - Dibs.. you show fair play.

To olf und other who find my command of English without the support stick of spell check a bit "OTT to read" - prog ist aired this Thursday und "Wail" may have Nina's piece on-line to skim through still. Was page 26/27 in Monday's press.

I used to use spell checker. It's a bit soul destroying when you have to correct too many words...

Thanks for the heads up Mrs cat!
Can't wait



Liebchen .. I already said I know you are not one of the "shirking" minority.

They do exist.. I mention the programme as it ist to be aired und some will jump on bib bash bandwagon. Ist to view for self.. und try to judge how accurate the edit.

Did she target only that handful she know to play "Baddy Blobby" or "Dick Doughnut" und fail to show the majority hard at it ... compensating for these fails in colleagues.

Because let us face it - each time you sit in the snug at the pub or venture into general steam room or juice bar at gym ...we hear Average Joe the Office Worker complain about his Ricky Gervais type boss ...und the person who skives, throws sickies at slightest...

They exist in the offices, medical professions, fire service und the police...but the danger in this programme ist overall potential image portrayed of tubs of lazy lard in blue serge - which ist only true - perhaps - of 5% NATIONALLY across the 43 still existing forces (und it may increase if these expand as more may slip net. - who knows? )

So - I warn all BiB on board that programme has been made so that they can view und add their comments ...set things straight from their experience. I am more than aware that this ex officer may have only targetted those who show this slip shod attitude or even just included any lapses arising from a "bad day".

I am sure majority work hard ..und I do owe my life to a police officer anyway.

Ist programme which may be informative but should be viewed with the open mind
