VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Jez|DATE|1370429704|CONTENT|I&#039;ve got no problem if London has a more racially diverse constabulary, but I do have a problem with the idea that it&#039;s &quot;required&quot; frankly, especially if that &quot;requirement&quot; is met through discrimination, positive or otherwise.

It seems to me that saying we have to force ethnic change into the police force through hiring practices is some kind of tacit acknowledgement that white people can&#039;t be trusted not to be racist - got to have a decent percentage of non-whites to keep them in check.  I&#039;m guessing that the current Met hiring practices are non-discriminatory.  Let&#039;s keep them that way.|IP-ADDRESS|81.145.51.162|MODERATIONFLAG|
