Directly elected police commissioners will be allowed to work part time and earn from £69,000 up to £100,000 a year the depending on the area Home Secretary Theresa May has announced. One again this is a government minister that is either corrupt or completely out of touch with reality. This at a time when the government is cutting police budgets and manpower to save money. Yet many of these elected positions may be going to people like Lord Prescott and former army officer Tim Collins. Others who may stand for election in various parts of the country are Jane Kennedy former Labour minister, Peter Guilfoyle a former Labour MP, Alun Micheal Labour MP for Cardiff South and Penarth is seeking the job in south Wales, whilst his son Tal is hoping to get the job in North Wales. What qualification do these people have that would entitle them to apply for these positions? That they may have help positions in various government departments or be a member of parliament. The Senior Salaries Review Body report published last year said the posts were important and needed to attract competent candidates. In the case of Lord Prescott was a boxing qualifications a required asset. Its not that these candidates may not be up to the jobs but why should these positions carry such a large salary, especially if in some cases it is a part time position. Again these people already have in most cases a substantial pension, and moneys they probably have from righting their memories. How much money do these people need when the average citizen is struggling to meet basic house hold bills, in many cases due to the incompetence of these people who were in power, when inflation started to escalate. Again this is just high profile positions and jobs for the boys to keep them in the media limelight, so that they can go on chat shows and earn even more money in an even more corrupt society where greed is becoming more blatantly rampant.
