The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) was a sectarian force in Northern Ireland from the early 1920s until it was disbanded, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland formed in 2001. It acted to enforce the will of the state, that is of the unionist majority in Stormont. The National Health Service is in a category of its own as a huge central government organisation which has a large degree of independence but is otherwise constitutionally quite similar to NDPBs. It does not employ civil servants, other than on loan from e.g. the Dept of Health. Finally, as I've touched on already, the ending was less than satisfying. It felt like an arbitrary, "let's just stop here."

Senior officials in HM Revenue and Customs work closely with Ministers and its key policies are set each year in the Finance Act. However, neither Ministers nor Parliament can interfere in day-to-day taxation decisions. Quite rightly, that aspect of the policing of Friday evening’s events should form part of a serious and detailed review alongside asking how the neighbouring forces, like the Gloucestershire Constabulary, determined which officers were most suitable to be lent to Avon and Somerset, at very short notice, for such duty on a Friday night. Gerald and Anna's relationship is a happy tear inducing drama. They're both alone. Each is without a family and they become that for one another. Gerald gets to help raise Anna like the daughter that he lost and Anna gets a father figure with the utmost integrity. I felt bad for Gerald overall, but it seems Anna got a better deal having Royal power along with Gerald as her father figure. One has one’s suspicions, based on experiences of seeking volunteers, quite often at the drop of a hat, for dealing with spikes in demand for staff during, for example, the Foot and Mouth outbreak of the early 2000s, when we came within days of conscripting butchers signing on to take part in slaughtering cattle, and major recruitment and redundancy exercises. the proposed appointment or employment would involve making representations to, or lobbying the government on behalf of a new employer

Each of these is described in more detail above. Generally speaking those working for the first two bodies are civil servants. Those who work for NDPBs are not. But there are exceptions - again, see above. There are a wide variety of other public bodies which do not generally employ civil servants (other than on loan from government departments). (The only exceptions (as noted above) are the HSE and ACAS which have not been classified as Government departments but whose employees are nevertheless regarded as civil servants.) There are different business appointment rules for ministers.

The Royal Prerogative The police do not police by consent. Consent or rather tolerance makes them more effective and makes it easier.

As Commander Nathan Spring of Star Cops put it, where there are people, there will always be policing. A sentiment shared by Detective Chief Superintendent Robins when he announces his plans for the Z Cars. I’ll end with this, but I do think it’s probably the most important segment. Everyone involved is entering the Crown Confederacy intiative with the OOC philosophy that we’re doing it to create hooks and stories for players to engage with, not to inflict authority and rules upon people who don’t want to accept them. The narrative may at times be controversial, and I accept that some players may simply want to opt out, which they may do without a fuss being made. My hope is to engage and involve as many interested people as possible, and allow the narrative to flow of its own accord.Whatever happened to ‘the best-governed city in the world’? – some footnotes to the article at Prospect on the Birmingham city insolvency 9th September 2023 These are not ranks, but titles which can be held and convey additional responsibilities.
