What is the ‘wrong type of diversity’ ?

Someone who was of non British culture who had entrenched views on the status of women which directly contrasted with the modern equality model we have in Britain today.

Cultural dissonance if you will.
 
I heard the West Midlands (?) Police on telly the other night blaming their poor response times on 'the cuts' and saying they were hundreds of officers short. Assumed this was a national characteristic.

It's clearly risky backing one political cause if it offends others. Do all cultural groupings/ faith groups/ stakeholders endorse the rainbow flag? If not, it's unwise to fly it.

The police used to be a byword for bigotry/prejudice (and many no doubt still are privately) so it's ironic they are now re-branding themselves in this way.

Personally, an efficient well-run principled police force would do me.

I wobder if those police stations, admittedly few and far between, with Muslim members of staff, were displaying these flags?

I've yet to see or hear of a Muslim police dog handler. By that I don't mean police dogs that are Muslim, I mean the handlers of them.

Canines are regarded as unclean in many Arabic cultures.

Dog whistle politics I know....

A Muslim Police Officer would make a very poor dog handler then wouldn’t he.

It’s a position you apply for, it’s not compulsory.
 
Mutter a word rhyming with Pete Tong & these Baby Boom Bigots are all over you.

Intolerant to the very core ... unless it affects them.

Gong? Long? Wrong? Thong?

The most intolerant are the youngee anti fascist fascists who refuse to listen to an alternative view and want to be cocooned in a safe space hidden from the real world.

Though older members of certain religions are indeed very intolerant.
 
what word rymhmes with pete tong

all i could think of was peeping tom?
 
You heard it in a pub? Same pub with the flags? BNP, EDL, NF or UKIP meeting?

You do talk some crap at times, Ben. Politics is not something you hear being discussed much in my local.
Especially after a former Labour councillor and trade unionist (and Blunts fan) passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. Someone, who despite my disagreeing with on a lot of things, I had a lot of time for as he genuinely tried to make a difference and despite being in a lot of discomfort did until he passed away aged 72. Those baby boomers, eh?
