ChrisT70 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 In my opinion, the purchase of such a car for the use of a middle rank Police Officer is a gross misuse of public funds. Nothing you or other apologists for the wasting of taxpayers money has yet said has addressed the issue. Actually you make a valid point, where public transport can be used it should be. i wasnt intending addressing the issue, was merely pointing out the fact you can accept members of parliament using your tax monies in a wasteful fashion day in day out,(ie cameron, clegg, etc etc etc) but criticise a policeman (middle ranking) for having use of a vehicle for official functions. given the chance i would take away perks for all public sector employees of this nature and let them fund it from their wages if required. cameron is a multi millionaire as is most of his cabinet. the mandarins in whitehall burn billions of pounds on credit cards, replacement uniform etc. if you are privatising the police force and allowing profit to be taken then start right at the top, do away with ALL mps perks and allowances. lets have a revolution.

Jim Graham Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Probably the latter. Or he might have another source of income that allows him to buy a nice car. Why criticise a bloke for being able to afford nice things? Oh come on. That is Grade A, Class 1 hypocrisy. You loons do nothing but criticise people for having nice things if they are Tories. The politics of envy is the mainstay of the loony left's philosophy. But you never have a problem spending tax payers money on nice things for yourselves. iPads for councillors, BMWs and Range Rovers for senior plods, fact finding missions to the tropics, ergonomical designer chairs, team building outings to 5 star hotels...............the list is endless.

And yet, you cannot see the irony in your position. If the man can afford his own BMW 7, why shouldn't he have it? Are you a subscriber to the politics of envy?

ChrisT70 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 But it is amusing at times. "Loons" is a classic. not really. its just shows up the shortcomings of someone obviously angry without a proper direction. have a debate by all means, get wound up occasionally, but dont name call all the time, for no real reason, its the internet after all, not real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and use it sparingly but as far as I'm concerned the philosophy of the left is madness and only a crazy person would follow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not debate a point without stooping to insults? I do try to avoid conversations with you because you are invariably untruthful or insulting.
