Maybe if they hadn't been massively Racist and homophobic for decades it wouldn't be an issue Joseph ?From listening on today's walk .....a former met officer talking about a FOIR he made that showed 7 out of 10 met officers fail to make even one arrest a year!! And it won't just be the met. He talks about how, from his 1st hand knowledge, things have got so much worse. A part of the problem is a fear of being accused of racism. As if a police officer can influence the race of a person committing a crime. Absolute madness...... and same as it ever was
Maybe, just maybe if they had being more racist 300,000 white children wouldn't have being raped and some of them murdered.
No the point was in the polices fear of being called racist, it has now obviously gone to far in the other direction !
I know for an absolute fact that homophobic racism exists in a big way within most police forces
Upon this you yourself think they should exert more racism yes ?
By the way racism exists from and against every race and there is a lot worse than we think .
It doesn't make any right
Yes plenty of anti white rage baiting goes on, usually by people given air time on public television.
And yes plenty of rascism shown by every ethnicity out there against one group or another who they happen to have a dislike for.
Just to note that the policeman apparently said "part of the problem" but this is being focussed on as "all of the problem" which is pretty much how racism works, focussing only on the racial aspect 
Not sure If that was the policeman, the original reporting media (nost likely) or just GFAW filtering though.

Of course there are other problems. Can talk about them too if you like.Just to note that the policeman apparently said "part of the problem" but this is being focussed on as "all of the problem" which is pretty much how racism works, focussing only on the racial aspect

But, so what if it's 'only' part of the problem?
A crime is a crime. It shouldn't make any difference whatsoever who commits it. That's the simple point. (Well. that and the point that 7 in 10 make zero arrests).
That's pretty much how lawlessness, 2 tier, breakdown in society, etc etc works. It's utter madness.

A full new state pension will bring an increase of just over £500 per year.
However, what they don't shout about is:
- A basic rate taxpayer earning £35,000 will pay an estimated £4,500 income tax bill this year. Had the personal allowance tracked inflation since 2021, that bill would have been nearly £1,000 lower. For higher earners on £75,000, the freeze will cost around £4,800 extra in tax. I'm somwhere in the middle, as many will be with a SP plus a company pension and / or part time earnings still.
What a sleight of hand that is (not just for pensioners but for anyone with taxable income above the tax free threshold). Oh look, we've increased pensions ... but we won't shout out about the extra tax we're taking. And then there's increases in savings tax rate, dividend tax rate, air duty, and whatever. But no, we're not going to put taxes up!!
Then there's the April deluge of above inflation increases to Council Tax bills, Water bills (10% here), mid contract broadband & phone bills, etc etc.
This really can't go on year after year after year. It isn't sustainable. Something has to give. There has to be a different approach, a reset.
On another topic, further demonstrating how broken this country really is, across nearly all fronts. I attended a seminar about investing, care costs in later life, etc. The director of the company literally started by stating that the care system in this country is in crisis and the model is completely broken. Complex, opaque, conflicts of interests, lack of consistency, non-sensical, etc etc. and how promised reforms over decades are nowhere in sight and unlikely to come.
But no, Britain isn't broken at all. Example after example after example.

It was those ****ers wot froze it.
I know
They seem to expect Starmer to right all wrongs
He’s got no chance
He’s got to raise some money by increasing taxes but that’s a vote loser isn’t it
The care system is in a mess cos those ****s want to make money out of it
Private homes charging a fortune for next to **** all
My mates dad is in one in scarborough
2 grand a week
They’re supposed to give him 1-1 for a few hours daily
Take him out etc etc
They do **** all as short staffed
Don’t reduce their charges tho for that
And it was supposed to end this year. The ****ers who got elected 2 years ago extended it to 2030.
