‘UK police diversity training encompasses mandatory Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and anti-racism programs designed to reduce disparities in policing’

I know many people who work in the police and I know for a fact that it does change their mindset. Some say for good some for bad. As has been said, a balance is required. My link before wasn’t just about race. ‘Molly’ reported her concerns to GMP and the call handler said “police officers don’t commit crimes”

This is part of a bigger problem that I’m not going into.

All my views are my own. 

I joined the Prison Service in 1987 and in a 12 week training course there were 10 sessions on security and 16 sessions on diversity, so it is nothing new

I'd love to see Bolty on MDMA.

Be a life changing experience for him! 😁

Seen some pretty horrendous things online over the last 24 hours.

Worst one has to be the following statement

"The family have said they don't want this, but they don't get to say how we react to a death, their wishes don't matter".

That poor family are having to watch all this unfold, they've lived it once and now it's all happening again. Would have been very easy for one of those police yesterday to be killed.. Seen video's of people throwing electric scooters, bricks from above.. meanwhile "influencers" stand at the front trying to live stream it. Not one of those police yesterday deserved that, having to quite litrelly run for their lives at one point from a baying mob.

Yes, the one who handcuffed a suspect needs to be deal with appropriately, he got it wrong.. people get things wrong.. but attacking Police won't help. It's hard to have a dignified death when you've been fatally stabbed and lots of people are forgetting the villain in all this is the dick with the knife.

Maybe things are afoot behind the scenes, as the parties on the right begin to realise they can't afford to keep tearing lumps out of each other.

TR isn't a party though

he's just a financed mouth piece for the far right

if NF believes he can use him to his advantage to gain votes, he probably would, but I don't think he does need him, so long as they spout the same rhetoric from the same page

likewise

I don't think there's anything in it for TR to get on side with Reform

He spouts the same rhetoric, Reform supporters think he's great, then a new GoFundMe appeal is launched.

Bollocks. If the assailant had been a white local it would have been handled completely differently and you know it.

I get the feeling they fell for the bullshit they were given over the phone about it being a racist attack, with no weapons etc, and turn up to find a brother, mum and dad all there looking like they are trying to help, which makes the bullshit more credible, bearing in mind they rang it in - it's not like the assailants normally call the police

if they turn up to a gang of dodgy looking asian, white or black lads who look menacing, it might have been handled completely differently

which does lend itself to two tier policing of a sort

in any case, it doesn't matter, they shouldn't have took anyone's word for anything and dealt with it properly

Having lived in a Spanish village for the last 7 years, is life in the UK really as bad as is being portraid or does the UK news give a false impression of what i see as a country in a total mess, with all services struggling to cope, veral kids roaming the streets, police struggling to cope and a government unable to improve things.

Start at the last bit and then work backwards through your post. Explains everything.

It doesn't quite explain everything, mate and you could rightfully have been saying this for the last 15+ years.
Much of this country's "problem" is societal, not political.

As for waffer's question...it's not as bad as is being portrayed. Some areas are grim, but hasn't that always been the case?
How long have our inner cities been shitholes?

Farage got what he wanted

The vast vast majority of folk are doing exactly as Brits always have done and are cracking on with life. The systems are creaking thanks to decades long political decisions. So many brilliant organisations have arisen filling the gaps where the government/council services are missing.

With work we cover the length and bredth of the country there's some rough arsed areas but the majority of people there are sound.

Social media has pushed a narrative that everything is terrible and it's really not.

I do not like Badenoch but this attack advert on her is a disgrace.

She actually said ‘ I do not want to hear about Black Lives Matter, I do not want to hear about. White lives matter, all lives matter.’

It is advert they put out yesterday, Jenrick was on Peston last night trying to justify it

Reform UK have been accused of taking the Tory leader's words out of context.

What an absolute slimeball

Jenrick was always one of the worst types of Tories.

No surprise he joined Farage's gang of cunts

Does it matter?

Why have they not been invited ? Surely every candidate should get chance to speak.
