However, it was a pretty silly thing behaviour as it's not exactly a secret that if you hold certain jobs / positions you are expected to maintain specified public standards of conduct which this lady has clearly failed to do. A warning would have been enough though.


She was a serial offender so the punishment was correct :thumbsup:


Was there evidence that her private views influenced or was detrimental to her public work?

If not it should be a matter of individual conscience.

Yes - she published them causing public mistrust in the impartiality of the police.

I thought the account was her own and not a public one?

In addition, shouldn't we give people a chance to atone for their mistakes or amend their ways before taking away their livelihood? If we all got booted out of our jobs for saying idiotic things on social media unemployment would rocket.

As I understand it, she let her views be known in the public domain contrary to her conditions of service. Otherwise, how did her employer (and us) know?

She contravened her conditions of service - that's always stupid if you want to keep your job. :dunno:

I don't think the punishment is overdone.. When one harbors such strong views about a community in such a tense job..there is bound to be conflict of interest in life threatening situations.. Why take a risk?

Sure, and maintaining the public trust is important.

However, she seemed like an officer who still had something to offer, and having looked at her comments they were ill judged (and without knowing any further evidence) not so severe as to justify ending her career.

Getting people to shut up doesn't change opinions. It drives them underground.

As the old saying goes the answer to bad speech is more speech.

It's not about getting her to change her views - she's clearly in the wrong job (or rather was).

Police failures like in the cases of Stephen Lawrence and the serial killer Stephen Port mean that they can't take any chances with bigotted officers.

Yep, not arguing against that.

It was a silly thing to do undoubtedly.

I take a less tolerant view than you. When you undertake public service you accept certain restrictions not imposed on the public in general because you are in a position of authority. Many of us accepted that responsibility or resigned - she waited to be sacked - she has no honour and I have no sympathy.

WHY should she be sacked for telling the truth??????????????????? FREE SPEECH

Everyone in the world who is not a gypsy knows what they are.

Some of you have only ever seen a gypsy on the TV apart from know-all Rolly

Suppose now some of you will have faux gipsies in your families and take personal offence.

Most people nowadays refer to them as Pikies.
