One of the very sad and worrying things about policing in the United Kingdom today is that whilst there may be a great many decent, effective and admirable officers at junior rank, these officers are led by some of the worst woke shite imaginable. Because of the way that senior officers are now recruited with in some cases direct entry at Superintendent level for those with other public service experience, we now have a situation where senior officers may have never been a beat copper, never made an arrest, never experienced policing public disorder and therefore never learned their trade from the bottom up.

A good example of this is Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth who has been recently appointed to be the deputy CEO of the College of Policing, the club of senior officers who although independent of both government and police force structure, sets the tone for policing in Britain today. What’s galling about this appointment is that DCC Blyth has apparently done very little in the way of frontline police work. She’s flown a politically correct desk throughout her police career which she started as a direct entry candidate for Superintendent in 2016 after working for many years in a public sector organisation, the Probation Service, that has such a bad reputation it makes our badly run police forces look competent.

Looking at social media, the appointment of DCC Blyth to her new position in the College of Policing does not seem to have been welcomed by either serving or retired police officers. These officers are angry that yet again they are being led by those who have not had to suffer the slings and arrows of police work yet have been promoted and appointed to positions where they can command front line officers. In one case an officer, not sure if they are serving or if they have retired, spoke about DCC Blyth’s first trip out with other officers upon her direct entry appointment to a Superintendent level post.

If this allegation is correct then it is a damning example of the sort of crap that is being forced into senior positions in police forces. To sit in the car because she made a ‘risk assessment’ to do so and allow other officers to put themselves in harms way is disgraceful behaviour.

DCC Blyth is a classic example of what has gone wrong with policing in the UK. A person who has been in policing for less than ten years should not be placed in a position where they have operational command of the police officers who have to do the dirty work to keep the public safe from the monsters and criminals that stalk our streets. Our police forces have sadly become entities where the lions who do the actual police work are being led by politically correct donkeys with very little experience or knowledge of how policing is done. Is it any wonder that we have so many police forces that are failing in their basic duties to protect the public and uphold the law in an impartial manner.
