    BBC News - Theresa May: Police Federation funds to end

    Public funding will be withdrawn from the Police Federation of England and Wales from August, Home Secretary Theresa May has announced.

    Mrs May told the organisation's conference in Bournemouth that government funding had already reduced from £320,000 to £190,000 a year.

    She said the federation had built up "vast reserves" of cash.

    Mrs May also told officers to "face up to reality" on the need for reform of the service.


    n her speech, Mrs May told delegates that if the federation did not reform she would pass laws to change it.

    She urged it to adopt changes recommended by the former top civil servant at the Home Office, Sir David Normington, who called for federation branches to disclose what money was held in secondary bank accounts.

    'Uncompromising'
    She said: "Make no mistake. If you do not make significant progress towards the implementation of the Normington reforms, if the federation does not start to turn itself around, you must not be under the impression that the government will let things remain as they are.

    "The federation was created by an act of Parliament and it can be reformed by an act of Parliament.

    "If you do not change of your own accord, we will impose change on you."

    oh that will upset them.

        FTFY.

        They put it in place because the Police can't have a proper one, however it was caught playing politics in PlebGate and other situations. Now the government are getting their revenge and cutting the head of the Hydra.

          Are you suggesting that seven more Police Federations will spring up in its place?

              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                  Will it stop the police behaving as is they are the law rather than upholding it?
