MDP's turn to be back statabbed.

Dozens of elite firearms officers can't carry guns because they are too unfit | Daily Mail Online

Cannot but feel that this is yet another case of lets rise standards that the old and bold cannot meet so we can then recruit replacements on new T&Cs that cost a lot less.
IIRC at the moment the DPF (union) is still fighting the retirement age being 65/67, HMG conveniently forgetting to add both MDP/DFRMO staff to the bill that went past parliament a few years ago.
That said i know of one camp where 6/7 of the new recruits have jumped ship to county and BTP within months of basic training.
 
To the OP, what is 'statbbed'?

Is it where you smash out several miles at speed X-Country and then get knifed at the end?
Or
Is it some stationary sleeping device for the AR?

What is the new test that they have to complete?
 
It's in the Daily Mail so it must be true. A couple of dozen MoD Plod across the force off sick at any one and there you go... dozens unfit to carry weapons (by virtue of being in their sick beds unfit for work).

Let's hope those that would do us harm don't read the Mail eh.
