“Fluffy Kind Of Nonsense!” | Fury As Police Told Not To Use The Word ‘Policeman’

A new guide has caused anger after it warned staff that using words such as “policeman” may be illegal. The 12-page guide from Staffordshire Police also advises people to avoid using phrases such as “man up.” TalkTV’s Jake Berry is joined by former Met detective Peter Bleksley who hits out at the new guidance. Peter says: “Wouldn’t it be nice if our police were dedicated to patrolling the streets… rather than this fluffy nonsense?” Staffordshire Police said: “The guidance was produced alongside external consultants to ensure we treat each other and our communities with the utmost courtesy and respect.” #talktv #talkradio #police #policing
