To read the full amusing extract:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news...-unions-turn-on-brown-832133.html
The threat of a "summer of discontent" emerged on the day that the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, suffered abuse and ridicule from rank-and-file police officers as anger boiled over at their annual conference in Bournemouth over her refusal to meet their pay increase in full.
She sat stony-faced as Jan Berry, the chairman of the Police Federation, berated her for "betraying" the service and breaching the trust between police and the Government. As the two women shared a stage at the conference, Mrs Berry mockingly referred to the Home Secretary's admission that she smoked cannabis as a student. She said: "Your recent crimes have been more for the serious fraud office than the drug squad."
