Specials are Police Officers. They have the full powers of any other police constable that you see on the street (well, in a car on a street)! They just don't [generally] get paid for it.

Special Constables are volunteer police officers who work mostly for free or minimal expenses policing their local communities, in most forces wearing the same uniform as 'regular' police officers, with the same kit and the same powers.

You're confusing Special Constables with Police Community Support Officers. If you're able to confuse the two then it's evident that you don't know what you're talking about on the subject, and that you probably read the Daily Mail for your information on the Police Service... A newspaper that shouldn't be trusted to be accurate and unbiased in ANY story about the police.

Apologies!

And for the record.... I don't read the Mail...... Its far too depressing!

Gosh! An apology on MSE? There's lovely for you, as they say in Wales (not that I know that, being in England, but it sounds about right in the circumstances.)

Mind you, an apology from a man; now that would be something truly memorable!

Gordon? You next?....

A bit of light heartedness ........

An old one but appropriate for this thread

GORDON BROWN was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the
classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their
meanings. The teacher asked Mr. BROWN if he would like to lead the
discussion on the word 'tragedy'.
So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
A little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm,
is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would
be a 'tragedy.'
No, said GORDON - that would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy'
I'm afraid not, explained GORDON - that's what we would call great loss'
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. GORDON searched the
room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand...
In a quiet voice he said: 'If a plane carrying you and MR. DARLING was
struck by a 'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a
tragedy.'
'Fantastic!' exclaimed GORDON. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?
''Well,' says little Johnny 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly
wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f*****g accident
either!

GB reminds me of one of those dolls where you pull the string back to make it say one of its three pre prepared statements. If I have to hear "Just look at our record on blah blah blah" as an answer to any question I think I'll burst my own ear drums to avoid it in the future.

I can see him sitting down to dinner with Sarah:

Sarah: Would you like some peas darling?
GB: Just look at our track record on schools, education, child poverty, child tax credit.
Sarah: That's a no then.

Yes what an amazing track record you have, what exactly is your measure for success or ar you just referring to a track record of incompetence?
