Outrageous! "G4S and Serco to Get Powers of Arrest? The Scourge of Police Privatization 26 October 2017

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Fancy being arrested by a pub bouncer? a thug?

 

 

G4S and Serco could be about to get police powers of arrest. [1] They’ve ripped off taxpayers and been accused of abusing people in their care – soon they could be carrying handcuffs and turning up on doorsteps to arrest people. [2]

The minister for Justice, David Lidington, is deciding right now whether to give powers of arrest to G4S and Serco as part of a police privatisation plan. [3] So far the public has been shut out of the decision, but with our liberty on the line, it’s time to make our voices heard.

A huge public outcry could stop these plans in their tracks. Together, we can prove the public want bobbies on the beat, not a private police force. If thousands of us add our names to a petition demanding these dangerous plans are dropped, the government will be forced to listen.

If you don’t want handcuffs in the hands of G4S and Serco, please will you take 30 seconds to sign the petition?

 

 

 

It sounds like something straight from a sci-fi movie: rogue private security firms G4S and Serco with powers of arrest. And from charging taxpayers to monitor offenders who didn’t exist, to messing up security at the olympics, to allegations of abuse – their track records make for unpleasant reading. [4] But despite all of this, the government continues to award these cowboy companies contract after contract. [5]

It may feel impossible to take on these multinational companies with multi-billion pound budgets. But we’ve made sure big companies can’t make a profit out of keeping us safe before. When G4S were lined up to take control of the 999 calls that help us in an emergency, over 10,000 of us came together to stop the plans and won. [6] Together, we can do it again.

So, if you want to keep powers of arrest away from dodgy companies like G4S and Serco, please sign the petition now.

SIGN THE PETITION

 

Thanks for all that you do,

Aiyan, Cathy, Robin, Becca and the 38 Degrees Team

    • Busta Myth

      The UK has been ran in Secret by FREEMASONS for at least 200 YEARS probably from Masonic Switzerland where the PRIVATELY OWNED Bank of International Settlements is in Bern which is the OWNER of all 60 Plus central Banks including the so-called “Bank of England”

      Typical Freemasons, Privatize everything off to their crony Masonic Secret Society buddies to run

      “It is the world’s largest security company measured by revenues and has operations in around 125 countries.[5] With 585,000 employees, it is the world’s third-largest private employer, the largest European and African private employer, and among the largest on the London Stock Exchange.[6][7]

      G4S was founded in 2004 by the merger of the UK-based Securicor plc with the Denmark-based Group 4 Falck.”

        The New Zealand Government:
        A United States SEC Registered Corporation

        The New Zealand Government: A U.S. SEC Registered Corporation 43.0
        Why A Corporation May Not Legally Govern
        It would seem ridiculous to even have to go through this exercise,
        but in the interests of ensuring a clear understanding; lets.
        Would not then corporate and government entities be mutually exclusive by definition?
        And does government not regulate companies/corporate entities ?
        Why would “New Zealand” be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington D.C.
        , in the United States ?
        And why would “New Zealand”
        have provided Annual Reports and be subject to SEC regulation ?
        Could the “New Zealand Government” be a corporate entity masquerading as real government, for profit ,
        and not for the purpose of governance ?
        Does the “New Zealand Government” truly represent “the people” and not shareholders in another country ?
        If a company registered in Washington DC is falsely claiming government status in New Zealand,
        what happened to the real
        (de jure) government with a similar name ? And when?
        And are the laws in New Zealand therefore just rules for employees and contractors of the corporation?
