The comment about TSG being referred to by other officers as the Thick and Stupid Group, or The Spice Girls. Surely this needs a citation? Do all officers refer to TSG as such, or was is this comment used by a small minority and not relevant to this page?

I suspect with a bit of research the Thick and Stupid Group reference could be cited. I used to work as a Police Officer in central London and it is very commmonly used. Whether it is relevant to the article is another matter and I don't think it is the most major change this article needs - the whole thing reads like a recruiting advert for the TSG with comments like "drawn from the elite". Whilst I'm sure it is a popular unit with competition for places it is far from everybody's idea of fun and has clearly been written by a TSG officer or ex-officer just plugging his/her job. Large swathes of the article are clearly opinion and unsuitable for Wiki - if there is significant competition for places it should be stated factually, e.g "Officers wishing to join the TSG face stiff competition with X applicatants for every Y posts (reference here)"

[edit] vandalised?

I think this has been vandalised. It seems to claim that the SPG/TSG assault suspects "whether guilty or not". Someone check it out. 213.230.130.56 (talk) 20:32, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
