Has anyone noticed that you never get media articles about private sector workers having to go to food banks?
Are they perceived as earning a lot more? Or do people not want to hear it and they are they just expected to get on with it?
Theres a story there about what the newspapers want to portray if nothing else
“The concerns led to a pay rise for the lowest paid officers”
All it takes is some “concern” if your part of the gang
If you’re not part of the mob on the other hand, you have to protest, strike and beg for a better chance at a less stressful life.
Bearing in mind how incompetent our police force has become with over weight officers who lose their temper, or tiny little girls that couldn’t apprehend a house cat
Normally I’d make an anti-cop joke, but honestly this is such a bleak sign of the times I can’t even bring myself to.
With civil unrest still a possibility, you don’t want the police to be going hungry and cold at the same time.
Damn. The situation is getting seriously bleak. Someone really needs to do something about this.
This should be the red flag Downing Street needs, now protestors will start to garner support from the very police force the government needs to stop them.
Do you want police corruption, because that’s how you get police corruption
This is useless without more context. What is the lowest police officer being paid?
Police officers using food vouchers…. how is that not the perfect vulnerable person for gangs to corrupt.
I don’t understand this I’m a minimum wage worker in a kitchen manufacturing factory and my Mrs works in Asda and we ain’t on vouchers yet.
Oh, of course there is police hate. Typical r/unitedkingdom
Well, if they need another angry mob to break down the doors to Conservative Party HQ and defenestrate the furniture they only have to ask…
Even the people paying your universal credit out are on food vouchers. Takes the piss.
This how it starts soon they will be taking bribes!
Not suprised, starting police pay is 23k-24k and it only goes up to around 28k-30k after a year on probation. Like all Emergency services such as the NHS and Fire Services, they are pretty underpaid.
And yet they still go out and uphold government policies. Good lads.
Entry level position in the police pays 21k
I’d be living off food vouchers also.
Absolutely disgusting.
Those vouchers should be going to real people.
I expect anyone reading this understands, but file this away for, when you speak to your family members who are in favour of cutting public spending. This is the reality. This is what happens when budgets are strained. British police have been underpaid for years, long before the current ‘cost of living crisis’
Zero sympathy for the people who prop up the system that’s actively fucking everyone over.
When you are not a dictatorship, there is no risk in starving your law enforcement officers so your buddies can milk money from the cash flow redirection.
I heard all about defunding the police but I didn’t think it’d be the right wingers to do it…
