Waste of Everybody's Time

An inquiry into allegations of racism in the Metropolitan Police has been ordered by Boris Johnson. Mr Johnson's decision comes after the Met's Black Police Association (Met BPA) announced it would launch an advertising campaign "actively discouraging" young black and Asian people from joining the force. It said that the suspensions of Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur - Britain's most senior Muslim officer - and Commander Ali Dizaei were proof that ethnic minorities are treated unfairly.

Oh for pete's sake...There IS no racism in the force. Ghaffur and Dizaei were suspended because they were whiners and troublemakers. This investigation is a complete waste of everyone's time.

This piece helped me in writing a review of the Tarique Ghaffur saga - thank you very much! I tried to do a pingback but I'm not sure if it worked, so I thought I'd say hello the old fashioned way!

btw, the piece is online at http://www.fourgroups.com/blog/archives/13/tarique-ghaffur-ian-blair-and-the-metropolitain-police-service/
