2/8- In his 2018 note, Insp Warhurst, warned against sending 2 women on a callout due to “obvious differences in physical capacity…For operational reasons I don’t want to see 2 female officers deployed together when there are sufficient male staff on duty”
3/8 -Insp said “This is based on my experience in firearms & routine policing environment, other than the obvious differences in physical capacity,it makes more sense from a search, balance of testosterone perspective.If you want 2discuss my door is open.”assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/615c5cc7…
4/8 In 2020 the Insp.was made Scottish Police Federation Rep-it’s head Calum Steele said: “Mr Warhurst’s candidature & election was a matter for his colleagues & peers.The outstanding tribunal claims of a retired police officer has no bearing on this” 🙈 google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dail…
5/8- The retired officer Rhona Malone was not supported by the Federation “the impact of the ordeal forced her to seek early retirement on ill-health grounds. Her lawyer said she had endured behaviour “designed to get her to take flight from the firearms unit”
6/8- The hearing was also told one cop in the unit had referred to a colleague's pregnant partner as "a f****** fat bitch". Another was said to have stated "you are going to end up f****** that" when referring to a female officer.
7/8- Its ruling said: "The tribunal accepted in evidence the examples of the "absolute boys club" or "horrific" culture given by the claimant's witnesses." Rhona Malone was vindicated yesterday after fighting years to prove what happened to her- what next @PoliceScotland ?

1/5 🧵Queen not even buried, but Charles appoints disgraced Prince Andrew as Counsellor of State to stand in for him if he’s ill or out of UK- he was friends with rapist sex trafficker Epstein & settled a sexual assault case with £12M of our money -but don’t criticise the 👑?

3/5 Andrew’s sister Princess Anne is not allowed because under the Regency Act 1937 male heirs had 1st right to the throne over females – a rule known as male royal primogeniture.

3/13- “It is of grave concern that this consultation fails to recognise suitably the constitutional importance of the Lord President and the Court of Session’s role in regulating the legal profession.” Image
