Hazel Blears – The Awful Truth. June 3, 2009 by inspectorgadget From banning the word "Christmas" to avoid upsetting Muslims, to spending money apologising for slavery (even though we were not even formed until years after abolition) Ruralshire Constabulary has always 'been there' for Hazel and her type. Our Senior Officers, despite privately knowing a damn site better, simpered over each new politically correct phrase, ludicrous wrong-headed initiative and downright stupid new policy suggested by Blears. Strangely enough, when the thought of a few large regional police forces was tabled, ACPO suddenly grew a collective …

Jacqui Smith is expected to stand down as home secretary in a reshuffle, Whitehall sources have told the BBC. Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to reshuffle his cabinet after Thursday's elections.

Mr Brown confirmed to the BBC he is planning a reshuffle but refused to be drawn on individual ministers' roles.

"I believe that UK policing is strongest when it is professional, operationally independent, and based on trust and accountability. "Above all, our decisions should be tested against the reason for which we all joined policin…
