I don't have a problem at all with two people jumping in a ring or cage if thats what they want to do; but there is NO reason why anyone assiciated with any aspect of the security industry would want to promote or market is specifically at a given sector namely DS; a public event is one thig. Branding it in this way is something else.....stupid.

As for not caring what the public think? Naive, very naive. In an industry where our wages are haevuily dependant on our image, be that or background, training, qualifications, active service etc; all this combines to create an image of who and what we are to our customers. In one way shapew or form, members of the public. How the outside world view us as employees within a given industry (regardless of specialisation be it DS, MG, CPO, HE etc) does have a huge efect. If the world thinks and sees us all as untrained, poorly disciplined muscle heads, then bring on the lack of respect and cr*p money; if the see us as switched on, well trained, profesional individuals; then the respect will grow the industry will grow and the ££££$$$$ will grow.
