Getting them into gainful employment would be better.

That ship has long sailed.

Only leaves stopping the benefits system - will never happen - or shoot 'em.

TB. You do realise that we now live in a Police state ?

Seen that clip before and you notice how plod said 'I don't want to arrest anyone BEFORE making some enquiries'. What a dumb arse, or is that how it works now. You get arrested first and THEN they start investigating. You couldn't make it up could you. 

PACE certainly used to be detained to facilitate a prompt investigation into xyz...

Pretty certain than legislation hasn't changed unless TCV emergency powers are still active.

My point was that I believe that their code of practice states that to be arrested, they have to state why they’ve arrested you, and they clearly didn’t know what charge at that point. Detaining him whilst they investigated would have been fine (well not for him obviously  ). Detaining and arresting are two separate things, although they both take away your liberty. People who are arrested without being told a valid section can, and do, successfully sue the police for unlawful arrest. The ignorance of the police these days costs the tax payers a small fortune. Can you tell that they’re not on my favourites list. 

A person who is arrested only needs to be told they are being arrested, the reasons for the arrest, but there is no requirement to inform them of the act and 'section'. If it is quoted, it isn't any detriment, but it not a requirement under PACE.
Just saying....

Fair do’s.

If I was the Chancellor, I'd bring in a 50% income tax rate for those working from home

Bee in your bonnet you'd like to share, Sir Tig?

Yep I'm thousands of pounds out of pocket thanks to oppsing useless work from home solicitors, who took eons to respond to emails (probably because they were too busy doing the allotment/walking the dog/down the pub) and if they did manage to answer the phone invariably claimed that they'd left the file in the  office and they weren't going in for a fortnight.

oppsing useless idiotting  Lady bitss the oppsing Lady bitsing lot of them!   

Well, thats just a lazy, useless solicitor - think most.

For some roles, WFH shouldn't make a jot of difference, though I concede some people think that allows them to walk the dogs, or get the playstation out. That said, this people tend to be equally lazy bastards in the office as well.
