Police officer starting pay is £21,402 pa.

They work 40 hrs a week for this sum which equates to £10.29ph. They can then be expected to work an extra 2 hrs each week for free.
Police Officer = £9.84ph
Nat Min Wage = £9.50ph
For the risk, they receive 34pph more than Min Wage!

@Molly_Schiller_ We lost our Dad to HOCM when he was 43. It’s such an awful, devastatingly cruel disease. I’m in awe of the work that you’ve done to research this & help to educate others. Max & Molly, you both sound like pretty incredible people!

@RobbieRinder Unfortunately there will always be a few ‘bad apples’ (as with any sector) but 95% of officers are doing a bloody hard job in very difficult circumstances. Working crappy shifts and missing out on time with their families.

@help4hairbeauty @bbeautycouncil @nhbfsocial @letstalkcentral @BedfordTweets @MillieRKendall Since the start of the first lockdown we’ve been able to work between 99-141 days. Even when we coule open, our capacity was reduced. Adding in PPE costs on too, our bottom line has taken a massive hit. Our sector has been one of the biggest COVID casualties. #beautyonthebrink

@bbeautycouncil @RobertJenrick @nhbfsocial @SpaVoice @BABTAC The ARG is there to help struggling businesses! We simply can’t wait weeks for policies to be scrutinised & appeals to be opened. The initial ARG funds were available on 31st Oct, yet months later only a tiny % of funds have been paid out! #helpbedshairandbeauty #beautyonthebrink

@adcollier @TherealNihal I think plenty of people are denying this fact. I’ve seen lots of people on here this weekend who are seemingly experts on what went wrong. They don’t have any experience but plenty of opinions...

[Emma Sykes @game_em]

@Bodger04913363 @samsparkes999 Yes, but surely the generous salary absolutely makes up for it.... oh no, hang on a minute...

[Emma Sykes @game_em]

@samsparkes999 1. It genuinely makes my bloody boil how many armchair experts there are about...
So many casting judgement about a situation/ vigil/ protest they didn’t attend but have seen 3 photos pedalled by the media, so they ‘know’ what happened...
Incredibly ignorant!
