Can the Police strike?

No. The police are banned striking by an Act of Parliament. However, some members of the Police Federation are now calling for this ban to be removed because they say they are now being treated the same as other public sector workers - and should therefore have the same rights.

What would happen if they did strike? Would we see troops on our streets,or even worse EUROPEAN POLICE? and would this be used as conditioning for the future? If anyone else on here Is old enough you may remember the fireman strike in the 70's where we saw "Green Goddess" fire engines on our streets

I was llistening to the radio today and the police federation rep was saying his members in essence want to strike

Lets not fiorget the NWO think years in advance and whatever we think of the police a situation could break out where the streets become lawless and with this in mind they may even introduce a curfew

Purely speculation obviously, but I wouldn't put it past them

Foreign Police is an invasion. If that happens we'll see whether the army are as useless as I suspect they are. That would be a different ballgame altogether.

They won't, but if they did, I would coach in the 196,000 unemployed miners from the closed pit towns, kit them out in riot gear, run over them in horses, wave wage packets at them and get them to kick a few piggy heads like those bast***s did in 1985

They will be held hostage by the cyanide version of the verichip in each and every one of them and their family members.

I was wondering about this today too. The police can't strike and are considering whether they should petition the government for the right to strike.

Of course, it wouldn't be in the governments interest for the police to strike, so they'd probably turn down the idea. or would they?

They were talking about today on the news about how the government has these special powers they can enforce in times of crisis, like a fuel shortage and this is the interesting bit...maybe even use the military. Sounded awfully like Marshall Law to me.

Part of the plan maybe.

It does seem strange that they even talk of strikes when from my understanding we are talking about two months back pay? I may be wrong.If we do see troops on our streets for even a day I am moving to the highlands

Euro Cops?

Europe prides itself on its open borders. But one of our East Midlands European MPs is concerned that open borders mean open to criminals.

Bill Newton-Dunn MEP is calling for a European equivalent of the American Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).

It would be a police agency whose officials can pass freely across all borders and enforce laws in all member countries.

At the moment, according to Bill Newton-Dunn, organised crime can take advantage of free movement around Europe but national police forces cannot cross borders in pursuit.

"Governments don't want to do anything about it," Newton-Dunn told a drugs and crime conference in Nottingham this week, "because it might frighten the public.

"And they don't tell the public the scale of criminality involved."

As well as drugs, the international counterfeiting trade is booming, and taking full advantage of the Euro zone's open borders.

Bill Newton-Dunn claims that 50% of the handbags sold under a famous brand are illegal imitations and that even branded baby food may be dangerously faked.

Phoney mechanical spare parts have, he says, caused at least one air crash and now fake pharmaceuticals are getting into the main supply line.

But Derek Clark, the UK Independence Party's MEP for the East Midlands, does not support any police force, that is not British having powers in this country.

"If Europe had not torn down internal borders we wouldn't even have this problem," he insists.
