As a result of the decision by the Black Police Association to actively discourage members of the ethnic minorities from joining the Met, isn't it now time to disband this extremely racist organisation?

[R1Geezer]

yes and we should also disband the national white police association too. Both a couple of racist outfits if you ask me!

[anotheoldgit]

Check again R1Geezer

I think you will find there is no such thing as the WHITE Police association.

[R1Geezer]

sorry AOG, surely you are not saying that there is Black association and not a white one, surely that would be ridiculous, I mean very one sided and racist, next you'll be telling me there's awards for music of black origin and ...... no you must be mistaken mate. This is a racially tollerant Liberal land we live in here!

[Oneeyedvic]

Finger on the pulse as usual AOG - the NBPA announced this in 2003

[sp1814]

Yes, absolutely...and whilst we're at it, we should ban the Black Lawyers Association, and the Muslim Council of Great Britain.

Any society/club/association which defines itself along racial lines should be banne...

...sorry - someone else was using my laptop. I've got it back now.

Should've locked my screen before going off for a coffee.

(Had ya going there for a second, didn't I?)

We have banned everything else.

Baa baa black sheep

blackboards. etc etc etc.

[sp1814]

Mr Davies said the BPA should follow the former Commission for Racial Equality and also be willing to represent white officers who have suffered discrimination at employment tribunals. He said black police leaders should 'not act and speak up for every ethnic group bar one.'

I totally agree with this. In fact, I'd go as far to say that to defuse any further criticism, the BPA should voluntarily rename itself to the Police Equality Association.

That would bring it into line with more modern thinking.

Except both your examples are not true.

Blackboards are no longer used in the vast majority of schools. Did you know that? They use modern wipe clean boards...you know, the ones they have marker pens for. They don't need to be maintained like blackboards from the 70s/80s (you don't have to pay for them to be repainted every two years).

And you know the baa baa black sheep thing?

That was cobblers.

Seriously. It really was.

[Doc.Spock.1]

My daughter is a teacher.

The words are banned in schools. Fact.

[QueenOfAmber]

this is so boring. yawn

[Doc.Spock.1]

The fact remains they are referred to as "CHALKBOARDS"

[QueenOfAmber]

yawn

[Booldawg]

QueenofAmber; do you not possess the intelligence to derail someones posts with well constructed opinions and thoughts of you own? Or are you happy to carry on regardless despite Doc Spock quoting on good authority?

TBH I'd best proof read my post for fear of you discounting my credibility on some petty gramatical error, because that's what you'd do.

[sp1814]

Doc.Spock.1

I do not believe you.

[Quinlad]

Yeah, and teachers aren't allowed to refer to Christina Aguilera anymore.

They have to say Non-denominational incarnation of a omipotent deity-ina Aguilera.

My daughter's a teacher etc etc.

[sp1814]

Quinlad

Did you know an anagram of 'Christina Aguilera' is 'caterwauling banshee'?

...at least it is in my house.

Even Trevor Phillips, head of the Commission for Racial Equality, is beginning to show concern.

[Hammer Head]

Did you know that an anagram of sp1814 is 'woolly minded, left wing, hand wringing loony'.
