off work 8 years, demands long service and good conduct medal …

This might come under a heading we don’t have yet.
Well, if that don’t beat all.

Had I been here yesterday I would have posted this bit of lunacy. Least, I think it is. So I held on to it and am happy to share now. 
Here’s a case of, HUH?  She is out sick, she claims, has been for eight years. But she wants, among many other things,

An award for Long Service and a Good Conduct Medal

Couldn’t make that up. But here. Read the part of the story here and then the rest at the link.

Injured policewoman on sick leave for 8 years sues force ‘for not giving her holiday pay or long service medal’

By Daily Mail Reporter

A tribunal into a former police officer seeking damages from the force she worked for heard that some officers on sick leave hate the police so much they can never return.

Alison Doyle, who spent eight years on sick leave from Northumbria Police, claims she was never able to return to work after an attack on the beat.

She already had a painful back problem from a previous car crash when she made an arrest in October 2001 which turned violent. She claims the scuffle caused her existing injury to become unbearable and never returned to work, although she remained with the force.: ‘She could not even perform administration tasks because of her enmity towards the police force.’

Her long-running dispute that she deserved a medical pension reached the High Court in November 2005. Lawyers for the Northumbria Police Authority challenged the doctor’s assessment and argued that Miss Doyle’s problems did not amount to a permanent disability.

Mr Wirz said employees off work sick could foster hatred of the force which meant they were unable to return to work.

He added: ‘She could not even perform administration tasks because of her enmity towards the police force.’

I know we aren’t supposed to be judging books by their covers but.  Sometimes ya just can’t help it.  Looking at this dork I couldn’t help but wonder about the standards of the cops and thought perhaps if they’d not been forced to lower those standards to meet certain quotas .... yadda,yadda.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
