The plastic police (PCSOs) have been awarded the full 2.5% back-dated pay rise that has been denied to real police officers. The Police Community Support Officers, who have no real powers - not even to arrest a suspect - are simply a waste of money. They have no real purpose, and yet are being awarded a greater pay rise than those who actually do the job that needs to be done, and are actually trained to do it properly.
Why are these pointless plastic policemen being awarded more than the real kind? I just can't understand it. Not only is it hypocritical and divisive to offer a greater pay rise to a less qualified part of the police service, it is also utterly wrong.
