I don't have any regrets describing the boys in blue as a total waste of space - they are generally totally incompetent, lazy, indolent and might as well be pulling pints or serving burgers in mcdonalds for all the professionalism they show. They are unskilled people earning a good wage for god knows why??!
They are a sloppy bunch of muppets doing what in other countries is an onerous and highly responsible position. I could not get away with their unprofessional attidude and conduct in my job - because I hold a well-paid, private sector position where you can't just bluff your way through the day.
However for most civil servants/ public representatives you could take my comments about coppers and they apply just as well. I work with these people all the time so I know first hand what these shiftless gits get away with.
