Isn't this proof that having different associations (ie NAMP, NBPA and others), in our police service just doesn't work, they only go towards increased diversity in the service.

It's not quite the right time of the year for the MOBOs thread to be raised again.

It normally starts with "Why should there be a MOBOs award show? You wouldn't be able to get away with a Music Of WHITE Origins Show and then the whole merry-go-round swings into action.

I haven't read all the answers so far, but I'd like to add my bit.
A Police Officer friend of mine asked his Chief Constable for a similar donation [that his own force had made towards the running costs of a Black Police Officers' Association] to set up a similar organistion for White Police Officers.

He was told in no uncertain terms if he made this an official request, i.e. in writing, for this he'd be on a disciplinary, for conduct unbecoming ... [etc] Either we are all for full integration or not. Our society really does beggar belief sometimes. A no I'm not a Daily Mail reader. OK rant over.
