williemillersmoustache Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Nip in by your local police station in govanhill if you have concerns.You do live there?? I'm sure he signs in there every day.Honestly, I'd have much less contempt for the no side on here if their patter wasn't so universally dreadful.

DublinMagyar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 One of my main concerns is the high crime rate in the area. Will these guys be able to deploy an adequate number of police officers to deal with it? 1000 extra police officers recruited in Scotland since 2011. 16000 less in England/Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Skyline Drifter, I genuinely struggle to think of a single one of them that isn't a complete fucking zoomer. At least this AyrExile clown can just about form a coherent post tbf.

Sturgeon gives a fantastic response to Davidson's, now tiresome, allegation that Sturgeon doesn't do anything but campaign for independence. It might help you understand why she's not meeting you and your neighbours for coffee twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It's time for Unionists on P&B to accept the democratic will of the Scottish people and for their parties to get on with the day job of Opposition, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bizarre how the unionist parties seem to equate campaigning for independence with somehow not running the country at the same time. It's perfectly possible for a party to do both...as the SNP have been doing for years now. The effectiveness with which they're doing that can be up for debate, of course, but the idea they're not actually doing what they're supposed to and campaigning for independence instead as opposed to as well is a bit bizarre.

The backroom staff who provided key support have been decimated and morale doesn't seem to be very high. Next time I'm not mugged strolling through Govanhill I'll ask a thousand bobbies how sad that they are that they have jobs and suggest a few hundred quit so we can all enjoy more admin. Govanhill is screaming out for more admin! Junkies hate well organised rosters and neatly filed requisition orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backroom staff who provided key support have been decimated and morale doesn't seem to be very high. I think it has been pretty painful and not an overwhelming success tbf but, it will be. The idea of a nation of just 6 million having 9 different forces & all that entails for common standards & procedures, procurement, co-operation and support services is mental and a single solution will ultimately be better. Coming at the same time as swinging cuts, some high level mis-management, a 'characterful' Chief constable and the tendency to adopt (the thickest policemen on earth) Strathclyde policies because it's bigger didn't help. But while it's not the only measure, crime figures are low, so despite the massive upheaval and multiple cock-ups I think they've done well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
