/// The MPs call for the appointment of a national “diversity champion” by the home secretary along with urgent steps in each force including coaching and mentoring, diversity training for selection panels, and the establishment of a senior black and minority ethnic leaders’ forum. ///

What should we do, drag anyone who is not white kicking and screaming into the police service, lower the standard of the entrance exam for non whites, any other suggestions?

Since a large proportion of ethnic minorities are Eastern European, I wonder if they are fairly represented?

Hypognosis...if what Eddies tell us above is correct, and I have no reason to be believe it isn't, then it is even more important that Police forces all over Britain employ more "black" Officers, or where will the role models come from, for younger members of the community ?

Do you know shoota, I bet that has never occurred to our very educated politicians?

We are back to square one.

How are they going to employ more if they don't wish to join?

Is there a reason why not one ,single black person is not good enough to be accepted by any of the four forces?

[anotheoldgit]

Anyone wish to argue the fact that things were much easier before mass immigration.

[THECORBYLOON]

Much easier with regards to what?

Could it be that not one black person has applied to join or the fact that if they have, they have not reached the standard required?

[THECORBYLOON]

Is your recent question not better in a new thread?

You could have timed that better. AOG has just said (claimed, pending real statistics) that they're not even applying.

Your claim, that they are applying but they're somehow not up to snuff and failing the selection process, needs statistics to back it up, even more.

Can't you work things out for yourself?

Well we wouldn't be faced with this diversity problem for a start.

[THECORBYLOON]

I asked why they were not good enough, your saying they did not reach the standards does not answer the question.

[Old_Geezer]

There you are see. We need police conscription for all minorities :-)

//I asked why they were not good enough, your saying they did not reach the standards does not answer the question.//

No I did not. I challenged you to prove that they were, as YOU said, "not good enough".

I have no idea who met what standard because I don't have the self-same stats. You cast aspertions first, though, so the onus is on you.

[THECORBYLOON]

So every black person in Britain is an immigrant? Really?

[THECORBYLOON]

If there were only white Protestant folk in this country there would still be discrimination based upon class or which Protestant sect folk belonged to and there would still be calls for greater diversity.

[THECORBYLOON]

HYPOGNOSIS, I was replying to ANOTHEOLDGIT, not you. Is it likely that NO black folk are applying?

AOG

I think it would be great to have a much more diverse police force, and anything that can be done, within reason, to achieve that is welcome in my opinion.

[sp1814]

Also, why do you suggest that entrance exams standards have to be lowered to accommodate non-whites?

What's that all about?
