Gordon Brown’s Britain: Police “At War” With Government

As if Gordon Brown and his halfwit ministers and cronies had not made a sufficient mess of governing Britain already, they have now managed to have the police of the country, viewed by many as the ’state police’, declare that they are now “at war” with the government, which is unprecedented in history, so Gordon Brown may have found his own legacy early on in his now terminally declining career.

The Guardian and others quote this:-

In a statement, Peter Smyth, vice chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: “The Government’s attempt to trample on police officers’ well-being by shredding a long standing, fair and effective mechanism for deciding pay has goaded officers into doing the previously unthinkable - contemplating seeking the right to take industrial action.

“The MPA’s only reaction, so far as we can see, is to sit glassy eyed in front of their televisions. London has heard nothing from them. Police officers have heard nothing.”

Referring to a recent “London Week of Peace” event which was supported by the MPA, he added: “Well, now London’s officers are at war with the Government. The MPA’s pathetic and shameful silence must end immediately.”

The comments will heap further pressure on Ms Smith, following a near-unanimous vote of no confidence in her by officers.

Police Federation chairman Jan Berry said on Wednesday that the call for a Home Secretary’s resignation was unprecedented.

So, Gordon Brown, how long do you think you could keep the country under control without the police and only your “great big clunking [iron] fist” and your very dodgy “moral compass”?

The best estimates are usually 24-48 hours before anarchy takes hold.

The problem is, you and your government are so hated by everyone, that you would be lucky to last beyond breakfast.

Better put up or shut up, big man. Whatever happens, your own career is now over.
