I suspect that the police hierarchy has a fair few members, and this is altering the way promotions should be working.
Freemasons are bad for business and only in it for themselves. Luckily there are those of us that actively work against them 🙂
Secret societies inside organisations where nepotism and ‘in groups’ can overwhelmingly affect policy and practises should be monitored.
I’ll put this in the „unexpected headlines of the day“.
What was up with the Inspector Morse shows and the Freemasons
Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do!
Check if they’ve endured the paddling of the swollen ass
I work for a private company and I had to declare any conflict of interests including being in clubs and societies like the free masons. The fact that the public sector doesn’t have to do something like that seems insane.
There’s only one thing I care about here, sonny, and that’s bent coppers
Would it not be quicker and cheaper to just get those who aren’t Freemasons to declare instead ?
I guess they’ve got some stonework that needs doing at Scotland Yard and don’t want to fork up normal mason rates
I mean, I guess as long as other clubs have to be declared, why not? I’ve seen far more nepotism and networking going on at golf and rugby clubs than I have with Freemasons.
When these stories happen every year or so, it feels like it’s put out by the Masons because sign-up numbers are dwindling.
I used to work with a Freemason, and when I asked him what he needed to do to join, he went on a big rant about how you „used to have to know somebody and be referred through character“, but now if I were interested all I’d need to do is sign up on the website and you’d be interviewed in days. This was also around World Cup time, and he felt that a lot of people joined so they could watch the World Cup with a few drinks from their lodge’s central location, rather than actually caring about Freemasonry.
With all that being said, he did say that there were often perks with being a Freemason. He’d had offers for tender accepted from fellow Masons, he basically had a list of people in trades that’d be willing to help him, and he’d often put charities the Masons were the backing forward for sponsorship for his work stuff. He declared all of it at work, although it seemed mostly because he wanted to promote it to others. Any public role should absolutely have to declare any group they’re a member of, or any group where money changes hands.
