"Every police officer in England and Wales will be required to hold a licence to be able to continue working, the Home Office has said. They will have to prove they have the right skills in issues such as tackling violence against women and girls or face being removed from their job, under the terms of a phased scheme similar to ones for lawyers or doctors. "

@PoliceStateUK Does that mean that no vetting or training takes place when they first get employed??

@chewie They had a hiring burst a year or two back and they seem to have let a lot of particularly dodgy fuckers in then. Although obviously they've always had plenty of them anyway. People who are attracted to wielding authority over others, generally not my favourite people.
