When i used the word "courage" i was being sarcastic, if BJ wants to get rid of dead wood at the Met why is that clown Ghafur or whatever his name is still there?.As for race it was Ghafur who brought up the issue, he claims he is being discriminated against by Blair and others, if that is the case how on earth did he get to the position of assistant commissioner of the most important police force in the UK.
So The Met are the most important police force in the UK are they? Yeah ok.
His position/rank should and indeed does not have any bearing on the fact that he can bring a case of discriminated against whoever. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not disagreeing with your line of approach to$$er its just that ANYONE can be discriminated against at any level in any walk of life, business etc. It may well be that he hasn't been discriminated against until now. It may well be that he has been but didn't wish to 'rock the boat' till now. It may be that he has never and isn't being discriminated against but the only way we can find this out is to investigate these things. Yes its gonna take more public money away from 'real' policing (and we can argue all day whether that is correctly channeled), but the alternative is that these things are never brought to light and the perpetrators never get removed. Personally I cannot abide any form of bullying/harassment. It makes my blood boil. There will always be someone in some walk of life who thinks he/she (and I've dismissed 'she's' on this ground before), who wish to dominate others. I will NEVER accept that behaviour and nor should anyone else be subject to it.
On the other hand, if this is a false accusation then the full weight of the law (and that would be Employment Law), should be applied to the accuser.
On a totally separate note, why is it that neither you, I or anyone else on this forum can have your signature published within the forum when we write it? It is always stared out like so... t****r, yet if a MOD quotes your signature it is not stared out? Forgive me for stating the obvious but isn't that a double standard? Obviously I do understand why the forum wouldn't want such words banded about and I am surprised you have been able to get away with the name but it is the double standard that I cannot agree with.
One rule for all or no rules at all!...... A MOD will be along very shortly to remove my entire post now no doubt!
