Ian Blair's speech, as transcribed by the BBC-
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4443386…Aside from being hugley London-centric, there are massive issues with this speech.
1) 90% of Britain's police force to remain unarmed.
REMAIN UNARMED!? What the fuck is this PC pansy [i]thinking[/i]? We need 90%, if not more, of Britain's police [b]armed[/b] and armed to the teeth. You don't stop terrorists by shouting "oy you, stop" and blowing a whistle. You stop terrorists by putting bullets in their heads and leaving them to rot on the streets.
2) a target figure of 40% of police officers to come from ethnic minorities.
Does this include the rapidly-shrinking ethnic group called the white person? Because I refuse to believe that 24 million UK citizens are from an ethnic "minority". Again, this is London-centricism at its worst- I was looking up the geography of Lincolnshire tonight. 98.5% of its population is of caucasian background [1]. My brother was obviously lucky to get a job as a cop when he did- if he'd waited any longer, Papa Lazarou would've been a more likely candidate than him.
Okay, okay, I know, but the more of this ridiculous political correctness I see, the more and more leaning toward the right I do.
