How are the govt expecting to attract 500 new police to the force?

Maybe they don't want the smart ones?

I don't know, but I don't think either part of the equation is that stupid, so I'm going with emulating our big brothers, unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong...

edit: OK correction:

After rejecting the government's offer initially in September 2023, police were presented with the same offer on Friday.

Obviously the negotiators/government ARE that fucking pig-headed. I fully support the industrial action - I hope it's brutal.

Except they can't revert to industrial action, so, now what?
