FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Police Federation, which represents 135,000 low-ranking officers, says it will ballot its members on whether they want the right to strike while also planning a protest in central London ahead of the federation’s annual conference in May.
The British law bans members of the police and the armed forces from taking industrial action but the federation said the government’s barrage of job cuts and pay freezes at the police, which has been unseen in more than 30 years, has infuriated the officers.
“Officers genuinely feel what the government is doing is decimating the best of British policing. The victim of that decimation will be the British public,” a Federation spokesman said.
The government is axing 20 percent of the police budget that couples pay freezes with higher annual pension contributions while forcing many personnel to leave as part of related redundancy programs.
The British police last took industrial action in 1919 over a pay dispute, but regulations set in place in the 1990’s stripped them of the right to stage strikes.
They should now take on the MPs and pass a law amendment through the parliament before being able to take any industrial action.
Back in 2008, police officers launched their biggest protest ever in London with 20,000 participants marching against the former Labour government’s pay policies.
“The mood of the membership is such anger, far greater than we saw in 2008, and so we are very conscious that what we plan needs to be able to demonstrate their strength of feeling,” the spokesman said.
