Does she deserve another chance and be allowed to carry on in her post or should she be removed?

[mrs_overall]

I wonder if she is related to police commissioner who selected her for the post?
The whole idea is a waste of money

[jim360]

Yes, I have my doubts about the entire system of elected Police Commissioners. This doesn't do much to change my view about it all. If anything makes me more against it. The idea of giving so much responsibility to a 17-year-old, let alone one who clearly hasn't got the hang of when to keep her mouth shut, isn't one I agree with at all.

Well....I have to ask....does her attitude and philosophy truly represent the majority of British teenagers?

If the answer is yes, then we have the right person in post, but if not, then her position is untenable.

[Eve]

Representative of some maybe, though if she is meant to be a good example and represent the police force and all that, it's shameful really.

You cannot maybe expect the behaviour of an adult though she is 17 and should have common sense if nothing else to know that tweeting all that kind of thing is a really bad idea, especially in role with such a public profile - it doesn't show very good judgment.

I'd have thought she may have resigned herself.

I'm wondering at the point of the position, didn't know they had youth ones.

[bednobs]

it seems weird that she is elected to represent teenagers views - then when she behaves like a teenager, everyone is up in arms.

[Sqad]

bednobs.........LOL

[bibblebub]

it should be unpaid role then we'd see how keen an appointee is to serve the community

[jim360]

Well the fact that she doesn't show good judgement is part of my point about the idea of giving anything like this to someone so young. She should be, well, being a teenager.

Apparently she only got the role four days ago, so if that is the case maybe it's not really fair to remove her from the role just yet. Especially if the tweets in question were made a while back.

[Eve]

That's true, I have no idea what she is there to actually do. You would think (well I would) and hope though that it she had enough nouse to go for and get the job in the first place that if you're representing a body like the police who are meant to be impartial, not racist, homophobic etc... or impressed with drunken nonsense and questionable behaviour that she should watch what she says on a public forum (or have the brains to delete anything she has said if she has "reformed").

[Nibble]

This person was beiing discussed by a few of the youth in the town, with the general agreement that

1. She's another "tory toff"..
2. She don't know nothing about their world.
3. She doesn't want to know anything about their world.
4. They'll never see or hear her in real life
5. She's a joke sent by us oldies to keep them quiet

I did say, give her a chance, but the concensus is that this is all a stunt, and the young people have "better" things to do, and we should ignore her.

[FredPuli43]

No. The term "Czar" does not mean that a "police Czar" with the morals of Catherine the Great should remain in the position.

[modeller]

Is this a case for giving 17 olds the vote ?
Is this a reflection on the abilities of those who chose her ?

Should she resign with a golden handshake ?

[bazwillrun]

"not racist"

she hasnt said anything remotely racist if you look at what she said,

"On ordering pizza, two months ago: "F****** hell why are the people from Direct Pizza so difficult to talk too!! IT IS CALLED ENGLISH. LEARN IT."

Shes spot on

but as usual the self righteous indignant left eg: Keith Greasy nothing sticks Vaz get on their high horses and start going off on one.

[jim360]

How amusing that she asks other people to "learn English" and then puts "talk too" when she meant "talk to". Oh well.

[anotheoldgit]

She has been given a chance most unemployed teenagers would only be too please to be given, she has blown it, so like everyone else would,she should be sacked.

[bazwillrun]

@jim360

but these people should at least be able to speak the language of the country, how did they manage to even get the job in the first place ?

[douglas9401]

No, she doesn't deserve a second chance. She deserves removal from the job and public disdain. Another chancer on a gravy train.

[jim360]

Of course people should try to learn English if they come to leave here. Doesn't mean that the tweet was telling the truth. Could have just been a strong accent, which is hard to understand over the phone. And it's a fair bet that if someone got a job working at a pizza takeaway place that they can speak English - just not necessarily well enough to cope with all the different accents. It's anyway I think a bad idea to read anything into this girl's tweets. She probably was trying to be funny rather than making serious political commentary.

[Iluvspikey]

There has been a crime committed here - one to eyebrows.

[DangerUXD]

no but not because of her especially but because this illustrates the complete folly of having a teenagaer in a sensible role. Very few of them could do it. They are themselves trying to make sense of things using a melting pot of opinions from media and peer pressure all mixed with any recent anger or temporary "prejudice" based some reacent expeience perhaps.
