i take it they wont be rostered on for weekend night shifts in town then 'Snowflake' police can opt out of training sessions with swearing and offensive language because it might upset them Chiefs are warning officers they may be upset by ‘swearing’ in training exercises Language warning comes as part of online exercise devised by Hampshire Police An alert advises viewers to close the package down and speak with their supervisor about how to proceed if they feel the language is not acceptable By Ian Gallagher Chief Reporter For The Mail On Sunday Published: 12:35 AEDT, 27 October 2019 | Updated: 12:35 AEDT, 27 October 2019 2.6kshares 158 View comments For most police officers, facing a barrage of four-letter words from abusive suspects is an everyday occurrence. But chiefs at one force are warning officers that they may be upset by ‘swearing’ and ‘offensive language’ in training exercises – and that they should contact their supervisor if they find it all too much. The move – part of a trend for so-called trigger warnings normally associated with ‘snowflake’ university students – has been met with derision from hard- bitten cops. One officer joked on Twitter: ‘If this language is not acceptable to you please go directly to the safe space where the duty inspector will bring you a nice snuggle blanket and a cup of tea ... after that hand in your warrant card as you’re no ******* good to us.’ please log in to view this image It is understood the warning was issued following a complaint by a distressed junior officer. For some years, trigger warnings have been issued by universities to students who might encounter potentially offensive subject matter while studying subjects such as far Right groups and eating disorders. Glasgow University theology students, for instance, were warned that they might see distressing images while studying the crucifixion of Jesus. please log in to view this image Boris Johnson has pledged to introduce an extra 20,000 officers over the next three years, but a recent Home Office report suggested forces were struggling to recruit because so many young people are ‘wrapped in cotton wool’ and unprepared for the harsh realities of the world (file photo)" class="blkBorder img-share" /> Boris Johnson has pledged to introduce an extra 20,000 officers over the next three years, but a recent Home Office report suggested forces were struggling to recruit because so many young people are ‘wrapped in cotton wool’ and unprepared for the harsh realities of the world (file photo) Boris Johnson has pledged to introduce an extra 20,000 officers over the next three years, but a recent Home Office report suggested forces were struggling to recruit because so many young people are ‘wrapped in cotton wool’ and unprepared for the harsh realities of the world. The report, entitled the Front Line Review, said: ‘Participants gave examples of recruitment interviews where candidates had stated they do not like confrontation or were shocked by the need to work different shift patterns and possibilities of cancelled rest days.’ Frank Furedi, emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent, said: ‘This is very worrying. It is one thing for fragile 19-year-old sociology students to be easily offended, but when you have policemen and women maintaining law and order getting distressed by harsh language then you have a big problem.’ Hampshire police were approached for comment but did not reply.
Help me with the relevance of that answer to the Tweet...? I’m feeling ****e, but thanks for asking. Nowt to do with this stuff, though.
Oh dear the leader of the ‘peoples vote’ has been locked out of his office and threatened with legal action maybe they should consult the people? The splits in the loser campaign are getting wider. @peston People’s Vote has gone full People’s Front of Judea. McGrory and Baldwin are in the PV office in Millbank. Rudd and Heneghan are outside refusing to enter while M and B on premises, and are threatening legal action for trespass. Oh dear.
Remoan remoan remoan. zzzzzzzzzz God you lot need to accept the result and move on. It’s quite simple, we voted to leave the EU and fanatics are trying to stop the will of the people. It’s ironic muppets talk about democracy and cannot accept the biggest vote in our history. Our day is coming.
How are we going to choose which ditch is most suitable for the Great Charlatan? Gryme's Dyke in Essex seems a good option. Near to Europe, and has links to the Romans, and we all know he loves classics. Any other suggestions?
God you really can't see the irony in your 'fanatic' comments. Aren't you due another break from this thread?
It was the will of 52% of those who actually voted on false promises three and a half years ago Ellers. The electorate has changed in the meantime, and we now have more knowledge of the difficulties involved. Democracy is an ongoing thing - if you are so certain about 'the will of the people' why are you so afraid of a second referendum ? The answer to that is obvious.
How about one dug by Rumanian migrants? I'm sure they'll make it to order and luxurious enough and to a decent standard of workmanship.
