Black and Asian staff from almost every force in the country are claiming they have been marginalised or passed over for promotion, following the example of Tarique Ghaffur, the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner, according to a report in The Sunday Telegraph. Mr Ghaffur has compiled a dossier of evidence that he believes proves he was discriminated against during his career in the police, including the claim that he was passed over for the post of deputy commissioner because of his race. Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, is now preparing for last-ditch talks with Mr Ghaffur to head off an employment tribunal at which he will allege discrimination. However, it is thought that more than 300 officers have now contacted the National Black Police Association (NBPA) with complaints, with insiders confirming that the Ghaffur case was the "catalyst". The Met, condemned as "institutionally racist" by the Macpherson report nine years ago, has increased its proportion of black and minority ethnic officers from 3.4 to 8.3 per cent.

Which force wouldn't jump at the chance to recruit as many ethnic minorities with a deep sense of entitlement as possible?

Quote: There would seem to be something "institutionally racist" about an organisation called the National Black Police Association. And the name is a misnomer, it has no positive requirement for membership, just a couple of negative ones, and that is to be *not* white and english. It is actually the 'not white' police association.

It rather suggests they will get so far up the ladder according to their race, then bleat like sheep until they are give jobs that are higher than their abilities. Best thing to do is to treat them as white English, and tell them to shut up. -- Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Svenne Guest Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 11:27 am    Post subject: Re: Hundreds of police set to lodge race bias claims On 16 Jul 2008 18:34:40 GMT, "joe" <joeparkinchinese@btinternet.com> wrote: Quote: It rather suggests they will get so far up the ladder according to their race, then bleat like sheep until they are give jobs that are higher than their abilities. Best thing to do is to treat them as white English, and tell them to shut up. That would be racist. It would be far better to apoligise profusely and give them large sums of compensation money then everybody would be happy.
