Election Year or Fear!

[Andy_Faber]

rather quaint and patronising patriarchal views on a woman's role in society

Typical of someone who spends too much time reading the woke handbook rather than talking to real people. I know you hate my anecdotes (part of the reason I share them) but I was talking to two female (in fact married) HMG ‘policing’ professionals (not police and not in England but close enough) on Monday who agree totally with my POV and confirm that the MORE enlightened of their colleagues accept that there’s a moment when males must step up and females shouldn’t and it’s the LESS enlightened that ‘work to rule’ regarding equality. But that’s just the real world Swale so I wouldn’t expect you to understand.

If that is so, I was unaware of it.

The BBC must have checked because they identified the officers as such. Strange how they didn’t identify the other officers as male, some drop a ******* of the PC (no pun intended) checklist there?

You see, as GP intimated, one can try so hard to be ‘right on’ with this stuff that one ends up looking a bit daft

If the reaction of a professionally trained armed Police officer to an incident and certainly given the person he kicked had been tasered, doesn't fill people with concern, then they have clearly forgotten the actions by other individuals who were fire arms officers which resulted in the rape and death of one woman and multiple rapes, coercive behaviour of other women.

Still its good to see Thicky demonstrating the depth of his misogynism with his "pathetic women police officers" comment, merely confirms that he is a very sad and rather nasty individual as previously stated.

Oh be quiet you clown. My mysogynsitic comment as you call it, was all about that women shouldn't have been there for that in the first place. They got their butts handed to them on a plate. They didn't react, respond, or attempt to defend themselves. Like using a 9 iron, to drive off the tee.
But woke clowns like you, would sooner see the officers and general public put in danger to satisfy these stupid measures.
That's being realistic not sad, or perhaps you are one of them cheering at Imane Khelif, knocking 10 bells out of that poor Italian woman as well? Arouse you does it?

[Trickytreesreds]

I suspect in your, well intentioned and understandable if somewhat old fashioned, desire to ‘defend’ the female officers concerned you are overlooking the fact that modern well trained female police and prison officers are more than capable of handling the majority of men nowadays…but then I certainly don’t know what may have been known about the ‘perps’.

NO THEY AINT!!!!

I've seen it first hand. The women in prisons are out their depth as well. Most of them get deployed onto paper shuffling duties, as they get bullied and cohearsed into doing bad things, Even screwing them.
Best you butt out this one, you know **** all about it.

[Trickytreesreds]

I didn't read on beyond his 'pathetic' comment about the female police officers. Disgusting thing to say.

Another one, who knows nothing

18 months ago, my parents(in their 80's ) were having their house broken into, whilst they were sleeping.
They were nearly through the second door, when mum heard the glass going and she screamed and rang 999

The cops to be very fair to them were there in 4 mins.
I got a call to come, so had to drive all the way back to my home town.

The cop in charge, was about 35, big lad and very knowledgable.
His side kick was female, 18 years old and 4ft 11?
She didn't even look 18, more like 15

Now I couldn't help but think, that had he caught up with them, what exactly was she going to do? They didn't even have tasers.
Now call me old fashioned, but a bloke of average build would have ragged dolled her around like a kids toy,
As said, the prisoners found women officers a joke and ignored them at best.

The two women cops in the airport may as well have been facing 2 pit bulls, they didn't even see it coming.

Give the cops sidearms and the gender issue becomes irrelevant.

Please proceed directly to the Home Secretary’s office

[Geoff Parkstone]

And give them gunnery practice on bike riding machete wielding urban youth phone thieves. Moving targets to practice on always sharpen reflexes

I axtually am not in favour of that. It will only cause more criminals to arm themselves.
But I expect a copper to be able to scrap an opponant and deploy the taser/pepper/baton if needed.
