After a 7am police raid in July in which officers seized two telephones, an iPad and computer, Mr Moss, a former Labour councillor, said he felt like a criminal.
He was given bail with six conditions, which included prohibitions on posting any communication, online or otherwise, relating to the county’s fire service, its chief and deputy chief fire officers, and posting messages relating to the police investigation.
Can’t tell people you’ve been arrested? That’s some tosser trying it on, obviously. But enough do that and it will become the norm…..
The FSU took this on and without them is likely we’d never be aware of this problem.
When the FSU was being formed I thought it sounded like a solution looking for a problem, now I is a member.
Although I frequently take the piss out of the telegraph to its credit it still covers stories such as this.
For anyone interested theupsetter has a series digging into the murky goings-on within the fire brigade https://theupsetterstrikes.substack.com/p/suicide-notes

Your problem is obviously your judiciary. Tossers are tossers. But the tosser’s only going to try it on if he thinks the judiciary will back it

And if he knows there is no chance of any repercussions for trying it.
The Fire Brigades obviously don’t have enough to do. They’ll send two engines out for a fire in a wheelie bin.
The devil makes work for idle hands, so they spend time on petty internal disputes.
Why be fake totalitarian when you can be full totalitarian?
Because they can’t be sure until they arrive that it is ‘just a wheelie bin’, and they send from different stations so they don’t all come by the same route.
