An estimated 22,500 police officers have marched in central London in a protest over pay.
Officers are angry that a 2.5% pay rise has been backdated to only 1 December for officers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he would have liked to pay more but it was part of the "fight against inflation".

What do you think? Do you back them or not. Not, for me. Many major crimes have yet to be solved. People all over the country have complained of police no shows. Also far too much police time is spent on revenue gathering ventures like motorists.

NO Chance do they deserve it. My parents told me recently how a group of nobs broke down outside their house. To entertain themselves, they took out an air rifle and began shooting at signposts, birds, beercans, and anything else that offered itself as a target.

How long did the police take to turn up?

Heard on the radio that a lot of them were getting paid by the police federation, or some thing.


Hey Will, do you still listen to Gaunty...that's where that came from.

Sweetpea

Still don't get it...

Will

I haven't listened to him for ages, every time I switched on he was ranting on about the same old thing. His arguments all get shot down a lot these days too. Even his own fan-site has dis-owned him.

It wouldnt' surprise me if the marchers were getting paid at the same time.
