It may sound a little pathetic, but I was quite upset when the Queen died. So I was also upset to learn that the king has been diagnosed with cancer. Get well soon sir, God save the King
@AuschwitzMuseum
Because of this account I discovered Pilecki, I read a biography about him and I see the Holocaust in a much more intimate and harrowing light. Pilecki should have enjoyed retirement in a grateful nation, but he was murdered by a regime just as despotic and corrupt as the nazis

The reason those kids are able to eat in McDonalds in Kyiv is because other young Ukrainians sacrificed their lives to defend the capital from the Russian invasion
The clearest example of this is the police, where uniform changes have made them look like a gaggle of clowns and corresponded with a decline in public confidence
Introducing the all new Roads Policing officer: PC Neville Jobsworth inaction figure! He's says two great phrases; "Driving is a privilege-not a right" and "If I let you off, I'd have to let everyone off". Get yours before the pursuit is cancelled! *DISCRETION NOT INCLUDED

region. We’ve seen footage like this, and found out some police forces have 2,000+ complaints a month. One force, out of thousands of incidents-only pursued TWO bikes. More on our late bulletin.
In relation to stickergate, thousands of people brushed past me that day, the crowd was dense and impossible to maintain personal space. Anyone could have placed a sticker like this on my uniform without my knowledge
We could maybe scrape together a couple of PSU (22 officers each) from all areas in a force in an hour or so. Spontaneous disorder hasn't been taken seriously for years now and we've always been shit at dealing with the most dangerous of all public order offences: riot
We have issued an update from Deputy Chief Constable Nev Kemp following the incident on Friday evening (14 June) when a cow was injured by a police car in Staines-upon-Thames. Full statement can be found on our website:
Absolutely textbook, this should be used as a training aid for stop and search. Excellent Comms by the officer, but this footage also shows the lengths we go to in order to comply with human rights/search legislation
Imagine spending years tracking, arresting, prosecuting, fighting every appeal of criminals (rapists, murders, violent people) to have Hannah hero try to prevent them leaving the county 🤨
Great job by our officers. Of course the video doesn’t show the individual jumping the turnstile right in front of the officers and refusing multiple requests for identification. This type of lawlessness is exactly what New Yorkers are tired of in our transit system.
Courtesy of rest days cancelled on insta. This video shows further indication that officers wouldn't know if stickers had been placed on their uniform especially on stabvest and heavy coats

is an absolute joke. You have the man who took my stuff on cctv. I offered to give the officer the address that my AirTag was showing up at. You never called me back even after i called countless times with the information. And now you send me this.
This is what happens when you defang the police, demoralise them and tie them up with endless corporate legal red tape. Doing the right thing is too onerous due to the absolute lack of institutional moral support

Quite frankly, I am both stunned and shocked that the

On a day where I would suggest they have far bigger issues! This is not the moment to be looking into police responding to an act of evil. Disgusting!
Around 10 years ago, I was working NTE on a wet Saturday night. I stood watching uninterested as the crowds shuffled past, desensitise to their boisterous and lairy behaviour. Every now and then a group get in your personal space, try to provoke a reaction but you want to get

All those members of the ACAB Club and those who think Police Officers are just a corrupt, lazy bunch of morons should really read the details and the Coroner’s comments in this tragic story

We get asked what we’re doing to follow up on incidents from last week.❔
While today’s march was forming up, officers spotted a man who was wanted for being abusive in Parliament Square after last weekend’s protest.
He was arrested for a public order offence & is now in custody.
We're proud to announce that our CEO, Chief Constable Andy Marsh, has received a knighthood for services to policing in the King's Birthday Honours list.
PFEW is taking the Employment Tribunal’s judgment of the police pension discrimination claim very seriously.
We will afford it a thorough review and the National Board and National Council have initiated the process today.

@LancsPolice
have given us an update, a week since he was last seen.
We were told the phrase 'from the river to the sea' was racially agg PoA offence and that anyone chanting it should be arrested. The met were keen for us to deal with any other crime too like theft, assault ect
The effort the met went to in order to identify hate crime (PoA) was equalled by the effort to avoid criminalising legitimate protest. The crowd was friendly, a lot of people thanked us for keeping them safe. Even though I morally disagreed with a lot of the slogans on banners,
We've set up specific ops to target this behaviour and I'm proud to say we've contributed to a dramatic fall in stranger rapes on certain places since the op started
OFFICERS! STOP WRITING "POLICE HAVE BEEN ON PATROL, THEY HAVE BEEN FLAGGED DOWN BY MALE WHO HAS THEN TOLD THEM HE HAS NOTICED A FIGHT, THEY HAVE BEEN SEEN, HAS BEEN, HAS BEEN, HAASS BEEEENNN HASSS BBBEEEEN. JUST WRITE IN THE PAST TENSE!
I always laugh entering met police stations, there's less security at fort Knox. They had a canteen! A lovely met Superintendent came round each aid PSU and thanked us for volunteering to work
I follow a lot of police content creator accounts here and on insta, AI art really has ruined the point of what I do. My drawings take 5 to 6 hours, AI can replicate them in minutes and do it better. What a wonderful modern age we live in

Hi, Wibble here, the court granted it last month, thanks for replying though.
The people holding them were pleasant enough though if a bit misguided. There were a lot of bewildered tourists who were concerned by the number of police between Parliament and Trafalgar Square.
There wasn't an army of critic second guessing me, spouting uniformed nonsense endlessly or demanding I be sacked. Mistakes happen and we should learn from them. Unless your a copper it would seem
The local media declared a Police 'manhunt' is under way after a recent burglary. If I on my lonesome constitute a 'manhunt' then I've also had numerous orgies
When I read the criticism of the march the following day, it was extremely uninformed and the writers obviously weren't present. We were keen to demonstrate impartiality by proactively looking for PoA offences and also facilitating protest. Again I completely disagree with the
