That’s certainly a contributing part of the causation. Academic qualifications being prized over critical thinking, in a service where many at the top sought personal equity with other professionals, so they greedily accumulated letters after their names & pushed policies that damaged policing.
@KayBurley Police officers make mistakes & relatively inexperienced ones make more. Its the nature of dangerous & unpredictable work. Why they made this mistake reaches deep into the police psyche & the attitudes & leadership of very senior officers over 20+ years.
@JohnCleese What you refer to as 2 tier policing (a wholly inadequate, inaccurate & ‘sloganised’ phrase) started, and reached its zenith, way before Starmer got anwhere near No. 10. The fault lies largely (not wholly) with the Police.
@GBNEWS@PatrickChristys 3. Current reviews of policing won’t address this because those at the top of policing don’t believe there is an issue. If they did there would have been uproar about the highlighted policy, which shows zero understanding of delivering changed strategic level outcomes. End.
@GBNEWS@PatrickChristys 2. Trying to change population level criminal justice outcomes by instructing officers to treat individuals differently, in isolated incidents, based on race (or anything intrinsic) is just 1 example. The lack of true leadership on this damning…cont…

@ShabanaMahmood 1. The officers were tragically wrong. Root cause of such attitudes goes deep into the police psyche &unquestioning application of ‘advice’ by senior officers/staff who put self-advancement above critical thinking (which many aren’t equipped for)..cont..
@muckledug@implausibleblog@DrRosena Maybe if someone parked a motorhome on our drives and we ‘didn’t notice’ and then we ‘no commented’ to the police i’d expect a good bit of flapping. We would have the sexism defence to fall back on though.
@DaveMForrester@implausibleblog@DrRosena Absolutely. Although I would have liked her to answer questions the Police asked under caution. I love the -I never noticed the huge camper van my driveway- line. You never know had a jury heard that she may have been found guilty eh?
@implausibleblog@DrRosena Nicola Sturgeon wasn’t ‘proven innocent’ by the police. They didn’t charge her. Its different. ‘No reply’ to police questions is not ‘cooperating fully’ so a blatant lie. Then ludicrously blaming sexism when people question her blindness. She’s invited the opprobrium.
@DPJHodges And you really believe thats what happened? Not a plan to have Starmer distance himself from something that bombed? The fact it then further undermined Starmer just illustrates the boneheadedness of their ‘planning’.
@Steven_Swinford Starmer feeling betrayed is poetic justice for all those he has betrayed directly, or indirectly through his silence when allies stitched up selection processes. I never thought he was a ‘good man’ but hoped he may be effective. I was wrong. He has nothing.
@CorkyOnTour@RepJackKimble Sit down in a darkened room, reflect on your posts and contemplate your life. You need to de-confuse yourself. You’ll enjoy life all the more i’m sure.
@CorkyOnTour@RepJackKimble Lets start with dumping winter fuel allowance because ‘we couldn’t afford it’. Then reintroducing it months later after public outcry ‘because finances have improved’ when they’d deteriorated. Do your own research on others. You’ll be better for it.
@CorkyOnTour@RepJackKimble To start with, everything he said didn’t come across his desk that everyone else seemed to know about but no-one told him. There is plausible deniability then there is the Starmer version which insults the intelligence of everyone.
@PhilMyers53@Keir_Starmer He’s not a leader, he has no vision (no-leader can be succesful without 1) he’s duplicitous, he loses support every time he speaks. He is a personality free zone &so unable to recover. And I wanted him to suceed &struggle to see a succesor.
@larachaplin There’s such an abundance of talented people who’ve made positive change in all they’ve done that I’m stumped! Sometimes unexpected gems emerge. I hope so.
Some say ‘give him/her a chance’ whether about Streeting or whoever. This is about being PM, not starting a paper round. Can we have someone who has actually achieved something, other than for themselves.
