Sat with a prisoner in hospital for 7 hours yesterday. Throughout, he was given a bacon balm, two sausage rolls, 4 chocolate biscuits, an apple, & 4 hot drinks. The two police officers who hadn't assaulted their mother's got nothing and didn't eat all day. What a country we have.

I bought a homeless guy a drink a week ago. I was on duty getting my own lunch at the time, he didn't ask. Somebody has taken my car reg down & rang in a complaint about me for 'feeding him'. Get a life. If I saved a drowning kid they would still find complaint.

Arrested a teacher last night for drink driving. All over the road, blew 92 in custody. She had her daughter in the car with her, & had the cheek to tell me, & I quote "You've ruined my life". I literally have no time for these people, probably saved her daughters life.

Police first aid training is shockingly bad. New students coming through who've worked for fast food places etc have said the training was far better there. Considering we're first on scene every day to medical emergencies with the ambulance service being on its arse, bad times.
