Special constables

in the fallout from the riots/looting there has been a large increase in people enquiring about or applying to be a special

i’m very unsure wether this is a good or bad thing

i’m on the side of it being a very bad thing

at a time when the government is planning to get rid of fully quallified proffesional people ( i’m not a great fan , but ) there are a group of muppets ready to replace them for free

same as the army we are now cut back so much we now have reservists fighting in a relatively small skirmish ( god help us if there is ever another war !! )

i liken it to us wondering why we never got anywhere in sporting events in the 60’s 70’s
other countries had athletes at accademys etc whilst britain had a postman from barnsley that did it on his day off !!
