I caught a bit of the news yesterday and it showed the Met police commissioner walking around somewhere with two police constables. I despair. The one on the left was about 6ft 4inches wearing a black beard that was fully a foot long. I mean, I ask you - what happened to British standards.
oh I am sure there will be some comments on the forum, but I don’t care.
The country is going to sh..

What is wrong with beards, pray? I am would be more worried about standards of fitness and of morality than that.

If that's your example of a country going to shit why did you overlook child poverty, incompetent government, world-leading Covid mismanagement or myriad things more noteworthy than a copper's beard?

Had it been a Sikh police officer, would you have had the same reaction?

I know all about the myriad problems. All I said was that it was an example.

You say the constable could be about 6 ft 4 inch tall. Is this based on relative size? In terms of morality, I read somewhere that the law abiding commissioner was under the height for police recruitment when she applied and so was, shall we say, not quite telling the truth. |

I think they probably measured her themselves so they would have known. Yvonne Fletcher was under the height limit when she joined I think there was a bit of a blind eye turned in cases of good candidates

david , what was, in your view, wrong with the beard? Badly trimmed, or just too obvious? Do you think all police officers should be clean shaven?

I accept that the rule was arbitrary and now does not apply. My point was that there were rules bent. Not a good way to start a career in law, though it appears acceptable in the Met. and to its present commissioner.
