Oh, hi B... Hope you're well. It's been so long since I've heard from you... Can't think why 🤔 Both Lee and I were advertising Paul's piece in the same way that a health warning on a pack of cigarettes advertises smoking. It would seem though that Paul doesn't share your gratitude, as it would seem that he's blocked Lee on LinkedIn 😱 @PFEW_HQ never did like feedback, hence why replies are disabled on all their X posts. We didn't mean to hurt his feelings though. Let him take solice in the fact that he's properly taking @metpoliceuk and the tax payer for a ride, given he's been living and working from home in Grimsby whist still in receipt of all his London Weighting and London Allowances 👊💰 Although, I have to admit, he hasn't quite reached the professional piss-taking level of John Partington, who has been doing the same thing from his home in Italy 🇮🇹

Always happy to highlight the contradiction and sheer hypocrisy of @PFEW_HQ National Board members. Their/your stream of support (at least I assume it’s support given the material is often so favourable to our arguments) for #BreakingTheMonopoly should never be overlooked. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

It’s more likely that the actions of the officers were driven by positive arrest policies - which have replaced investigate to arrest with arrest to investigate in order to meet central targets - then any DEI policy or police race action plan which most of the front line will not have interacted with.

People often question statements like this, “If this isn’t terror, what is?” being a common refrain. What should be more troubling is that some individuals, generally low IQ, with a proclivity for violence, poor impulse control & lacking fear of consequences, just want to do it.

Full frontal attack by @KemiBadenoch on police staff support networks and recognised associations who seek to influence policy by virtue of identity politics. Echoing concerns set out in @HMICFRS in their report on activism and impartiality within policing as found here hmicfrs.justiceinspectorates… What is missed is why these associations felt they needed to exist in the first place. What had gone wrong with the original representative pathway @PFEW_HQ which has continually dismissed their concerns and counter views in favour of adopting their own forced narratives and favourable position. The monopolised police representative landscape is long overdue reform and I believe the @The_NPA_UK campaign to #BreakTheMonopoly provides the perfect opportunity and vehicle to achieve this.

A thoughtful piece/intervention, from former police officer - now MP @Jonathan_Hinder who is arguably more qualified than most when making comment on this distressing incident. The only bit I disagree with is the line that the officers actions, in not pivoting sooner, are “impossible to justify.” Given the IOPC have not changed the witness status of the officers, who were involved in the post incident procedures following this event, it’s fairly safe to conclude that their actions have been weighed as reasonable based on the information known at the time - thus justified. The court record would also support this.

This thread should answer your question and we’d imagine, if anything, costs have increased since 2025… x.com/pfew_whistle/status/19…

All well and good if the anvil is solid, less so when if its riddled with stress cracks/fractures.

I think this is deeply disrespectful. Unsurprisingly, nobody cares at this present moment in time how many officer rest days are owed. UK policing is currently in the midst of a massive crisis. The tragic case of Henry Nowak is making front page news all over the world. In the midst of this policing crisis @PFEW_HQ have simply sat on their hands and decided to say absolutely nothing. Whilst @MPFed have demonstrated once again that they are completely tone deaf by deciding to post their usual benign shite as if nothing has happened. I feel sorry for the decent @MPFed reps who are being badly let down by @PFEW_HQ and their incompetent executive at Bromley.

The fundamental misconception & myth that you can directly equate crude, whole population statistics on #StopandSearch with the policing of real inner city communities & suggest it is proof of discrimination. These people need to go back to school. I despair.

Couple of thoughts. (1) To what extent is this about the fragmentation of social identities (away from class?)? Context of general dissatisfaction with low growth/high inflation economy, and political centre with no/few answers.

As conversations take place across society, social media, news networks, police forces and Parliment - which could destabilise the model of policing by consent and alter the relationship between policing and communities for decades to come - the once proudly self championed “undisputed voice of policing” that is @PFEW_HQ has been notably… silent. Cops collectively pay £44m a year for representation on things like this, and the best PFEW and its full time officers can do - whilst colleagues across the country are getting a kicking - is….

Genuine questions, directed at you because I’m genuinely interested in your analysis. What is two tier policing? How is it defined? What does it look like in theory and how does it play out in practice?

The police need to be taught about "anchoring bias – the tendency for the first piece of information we receive to create a mental reference point, an anchor, through which all subsequent information is filtered rather than evaluated afresh."

Many of the people screaming the loudest about the injustice of two-tier policing, want two tier policing, that favours them over others.

An absolute must read for anyone who has or is asking the question… and is genuinely interested in the response… how could this have happened? First lie wins policeprofessional.com/featu…

Nigel Farage claims the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary Race Action Plan, and the College of Policing anti-racism commitment, instruct police to treat ethnic minorities preferentially over white people. Let's look at what the documents actually say. The Hampshire Race Action Plan 2024 to 2026 states: "We will put victims first ensuring that our services and response are accessible to all." It commits to policing "with empathy and due regard for the impact on individuals and communities." It says nothing about treating white victims less favourably. Nothing. It does not exist in the text. What it does say is that ethnic minority communities are disproportionately underreporting crime and receiving worse outcomes as victims. Addressing that gap is not preferential treatment. It is equal treatment. On the College of Policing document, Farage cites the line stating anti-racism "does not mean treating everyone the same or being colour blind." He presents this as instructing police to treat white people differently. Here is the full sentence in context: "Producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances and experiences, with the aim of reducing harm." That is the equity versus equality distinction. If one employee needs a different chair due to a medical condition, providing it is not preferential treatment. It is equal treatment applied to unequal circumstances. Notably, the government's own Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the language in the document "gives the wrong impression" and backed a review. That is a legitimate criticism of the wording. It is not evidence that police were instructed to let white people die. Farage knows what these documents say. He is misrepresenting them to a national audience while 11 police officers recover from injuries sustained during disorder he helped to incite. Henry Nowak's father asked that his son's death not be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
