Racism And Sexism Surely

[webbo3]

Why are certain sections of the community being given an advantage over white males.
This extra money should be spent on policing the crime ridden streets of London rather than ticking boxes.

It wouldn’t be allowed the other way around,if you know what I mean.

[Baldric]

It appears to be both.

[Spicerack]

Disgraceful. These people have no shame.

// The force is covering the entire cost of pre-join qualification training for female, black and Asian candidates, Police Oracle understands. //

Er, the pre-join Training is free to everyone. They are trying to encourage enrolment by the entire community.
Obvoiously a black or female candidate should not be pay more MlORE, and they aen’t. They pay the SAME.

Wrong end of the stick again Gromit?

Force paying full costs for women and minority ethnic candidates to take pre-training qualification.

New positive action scheme introduced at the Met

The Metropolitan Police is giving extra financial support to women and ethnic minority candidates applying to become constables.
The force is covering the entire cost of pre-join qualification training for female, black and Asian candidates, Police Oracle understands.
White men are being given only half the cost of their Certificate of Knowledge in Policing (CKP).
The force requires all candidates to take the qualification – which costs around £1,000 – before beginning their training.

Why can't the white male candidate self-identify as a woman?

PS: can a white candidate self-identify as a black woman? And if not, why not?

[david small]

Can I self identify as a pot noodle?

[Mamyalynne]

Constable or Inspector Pot Noodle?

[cassa333]

Gromit, its not free to everyone. They are covering the entire cost for those specific demographic but white males have to pay at least half the cost.

Please read the links.

It'll be Common Purpose at the back of all this.
They run a lot of these courses.
They wangled the Brazilian electrician killer into the top seat.
Now it's payback time.

An afro caribbean will usually be regarded as a 'traitor' if they join the police,and will be ostracized by the rest of their community.
It is going to take a lot more than a training grant concession to change that attitude.

[woofgang]

spicerack what is it with you and Common Purpose? have you got any proof or links?

[naomi24]

Eddie, //An afro caribbean will usually be regarded as a 'traitor' if they join the police,and will be ostracized by the rest of their community. //

So says the man who regularly accuses others of racism. Funny old world.

Why does ANYONE have to pay for their training for a vital job?

I didn't know non-white people had their own acronym (BAME) now. Are they as happy as the LGBTQ+ people about being lumped under one clumsy label?

[Spicerack]

Glad you asked me that, Woofgang.
Listen to Professor Brian Jarman's interview with the BBC just the other morning.
Starts at 1hr 34mins.
Or go straight to the criticism of Common Purpose at 1hr 40mins where he's cut off by the (CP infested) BBC.
Why you keep jumping to their defence I can't imagine?

When we become the minority of this country, I wonder if we will be looked after in such a way?

[anotheoldgit]

Wait a minute I have just thought, we are the minority, and no we are not being looked after in such a way, in fact we are being discriminated against, as is proven here.

[naomi24]

Cloverjo //I didn't know non-white people had their own acronym (BAME) now. Are they as happy as the LGBTQ+ people about being lumped under one clumsy label?//

It seems to me that members of minority groups are more than happy to stick these ‘clumsy’ labels on themselves.
