I do not think that the police should be allowed to strike, any more than the army should be allowed to strike. How much more are we to be expected to pay for these institutionalised half-wits to sit around in squad cars with speed cameras all day?

I wonder whether the family of Reece Jones or Jesse James would agree that the police are unerpaid?

When this row first surfaced the other day, a woman emailed BBC Breakfast to welcome the police to the real world, where employees do not always get the sort of pay they either deserve or which has been agreed.
