I struggled when I learnt that out of 7,000 officers in one counties Police force, a mere 6 were available and on duty one Saturday evening in the largest town in that county...
As many as that? Believe me - that's not the worst I've heard.

I think the issues involving to frontline staffing relate to the sheer numbers of 'hangers on' and seat shiners, and also the general levels of abseteeism, common in many areas of the PS, but exacerbated by the very unique physical challenges of being an emergency service.

One thing that confused me...did Mitchell come forth and tell.the truth about what he said or is he still saying "thats not what I said"...which implies he still said something derogatory that he won't admit to.

I think the idea that all police are corrupt and/or egotistic is an erroneous extension of the facts. I hope.
So, it's only the ones dealing with the national press and the ones guarding our most senior politicians then.

Nothing to worry about at all.....

AFAIK He always denied calling anyone a pleb, but apologised if he did not show "sufficient respect".

30 Police officers are working on this full time, at what cost? Conservatively £100k a week - because some tt call some other tt a "pleb"

So you think it's okay for a senior elected minister to potentially be 'fitted' by one or more Police Officers. If they can do it to him, what chance the rest of us if we upset BIB. Let's hope the enquiry finds that it's just one misguided maverick officer and there has not been a conspiracy.

No not at all, I thought my post held equal distain for the stupid fking police tts who seem to have lied and bullsted their way into the limelight only to find that it's is showing up their st stained boyish idiocy, I hope this post goes someway to addressing this.

Of course there's been a conspiracy - you don't need another enquiry to tell you that whenever two coppers tell the same story it's by default a pack of st. It wouldn't suprise me if the whole st and shebang was't orchestrated by a NoW journo dressed as a copper shouting "pleb" from the other end of london.

I do wish people would learn what an Ad Hominem really is. It's a response that gets bandied about rather a lot on PH (and this thread) and is rarely an accurate description of the posting style in question.

The question I am interested in is how did the Off duty Policeman get a transcript of the gate police records?

He sent a word for word account that matched the gate police records so how did he get that? did they give it to him or somebody higher up? He didn't witness it , he wasn't there.
