A bloke who is glad he's already got his pension and is no longer in a position to be sacked said:
Ex-Metropolitan Police detective Peter Bleksley says the move is a cause for concern, as it has exposed a “fluffy” underbelly in the force...
...Speaking on GB News, he said “The Metropolitan Police are so fluffy in 2023, and this is just another example.
“Where is this all going to end? It’s opened a can of worms because obviously the Met Police have the Specialist branch, surely this is too elitist and we need the average branch?”...
That last paragraph quoted above is typical of the intellectual level of those on the right. They understand nothing, and talk utter bollocks, always taking things to their illogical conclusion.
They don't need a name change, they need a culture change.
But, yeah. A change of name is a clear indication that the Met are all fluffy and woke now.
It might only be the Imperial Service Medal, but I've got a gong. What's Paul Dacre got?
