Just as it would be demeaning for waiters and cooks to be asked to work as police officers.

Everyone has his/her calling in life and being asked to do something which you’re not trained in, just for financial reasons, is demeaning.

[Daphne – No, Natalie, that definitely is NOT the issue. The issue is that the police are not at the disposition of the police minister. That is the despotic way, and a danger to democracy.]

Dunno. By that time she had been pouring too much red wine in my glass. I think she said she worked for the Police Farce.

His presence there was enough to influence proceedings. There was no need for him to say anything.

This is really serious. The PN needs to raise hell on this issue.

When I asked the sexy waitress to give me her number, she told me WPC 123.
