You should go have tea somewhere like the Dorchester (if they let Americans in these days, if not you might have to pretend to be a bit more socially acceptable, maybe a Canadian or Somali) or a Parish teahouse in the suburbs.

Tea4Lyfe You Americans don't know what's up. Iced tea is legit but coffee is disgusting sludge that the earth shits into your cup. I can't even drink Tim Horton's coffee and that's a goddamn national obligation.

I have an Italian steel stove top coffee maker and let me tell you that $25 thing makes the best goddamed coffee you will ever have. French presses are for faggots who have too much time on their hands. Except the Nissin Steel Thermos French Press, that thing is legit for camping and training exercises

I prefer coffee, but I can appreciate a good brew (again, it's been hard to find, my wife is a die hard tea junkie and we've been to several tea shops).

For a long time, way before I joined but when my father was a copper, the Federation has always attracted the worst officers in to it's ranks as reps. I'm sure it's different in other forces but in the Met they just aren't fit for purpose. Anyway, there was this incident called plebgate where some officers guarding Downing Street had a pathetic verbal disagreement with a Conservative member of the house of Lords (read: unelected Republican senator), the officers lied about the dialogue and accused the Lord of calling them various classist insults like "Best you learn your loving place. You don't run this loving government.... You're loving plebs." The Lord the stood down and resigned. It made the national news and the Federation used it as an opportunity to criticize the government over alleged lack of respect and poor treatment of Police officers as a whole. It made the Government look very stupid, then they found out the officers had lied. The Federation was still sticking up for them even after it was proved the officers lied about the whole episode. On top of a whole slew of bullying, sexism and lying accusations and also general trouble making over the current governments policies the Home Secretary is now doing what all good conservatives do and is smashing our union. Just as a foot note I'm not allowed to be a member of the Federation because I'm unpaid but I get affected by their counter-productive squabbling all the time. Also the only rep I know is also the only male officer I know that has failed the fitness test. He is a disgusting sham of a man who doesn't deserve to wear the uniform. He was elected because no one else stood against him.

Whip Slagcheek posted:Hezzy/Bernard/chartley/whichever britcop: what the gently caress is going on with your police union and why is your Home Secretary talking about dissolving it? I was watching bbc a couple days ago and they were talking about it non-stop. They're not talking about dissolving it as such, just getting rid of the people running it at the moment. I agree with the Home Secretary but I think the way she's going about it is disgusting. Our Federation is corrupt, slovenly and useless. They don't fight for us any more and just seem to be abusing all the money given to them. It is basically an old boy's club. The Federation for my force has point blank refused to make their expenses transparent, refused to allow greater female representation and refused to account for the chairman's trips all around the world to "policing conferences". That being said, if the Home Secretary replaces the people in the Federation they're probably just going to be government yes men and we will be even more worse off if that is even possible. We need democratic processes to elect the chair of the Federation. Bernard McFacknutah posted:For a long time, way before I joined but when my father was a copper, the Federation has always attracted the worst officers in to it's ranks as reps. I've heard anecdotes about my force's current chair and they all revolve around his corruptness. He was very close to a number of people who were fired for raiding property stores for drugs and selling them on. They couldn't prove anything against him though. Now he is in charge of our Federation and is taking trips around the world to "policing conferences"... Hezzy fucked around with this message at 20:34 on May 28, 2014 |

Wazzup up other non-coffee drinking pig. There's about 17 of us in our entire department that don't drink coffee. Tim Horton tea is acceptable, but not the "steeped tea". You also have to make sure that they don't put cream in it instead of milk. Yuck.

I do it because I watched some female officer get her face smashed in with a brick during the riots. . Also I have a well paid but very boring day job, I've got no intention of joining full time. Apparently in the old days Specials in the Met used to get treated like poo poo and were perpetually on crap duties like standing cordon at a sudden death but now we more or less do everything a regular officer does because they are short of numbers. Pretty much 100% of my duty time is spent out on patrol fighting and arresting 'the slag.' I don't mind taking the odd kicking or having poop thrown at me when it feels like you're doing a bit of good.
