Fire them all:

Greater Manchester fire service have got the right idea. Officers are rightly facing disciplinary proceedings for failing to sleep on the new comfy chairs brought in by their bosses. If you are some kind of moron who cannot sleep in a half-sitting position, you should not be joining the fire brigade to start with.

In Blandmore we face the threat of similar proceedings should we fail to wear the delightful "woolly pullies" provided for us and opt for fleeces that actually protect us from the cold. In a disciplined and highly trained service like the police, it is unacceptable for officers to go gallivanting around wearing warm clothing willy-nilly without regard for their public image.

For anyone who follows the last link above, I wonder if the shooter cried, "This is for the car park!" before pulling the trigger. I do wonder why exactly a police support worker needs "firearms awareness" training. Perhaps to aid the emails they need to send telling officers where they have gone wrong...
