10/06/2008: "Black Police Association accuses the Met of racism. (UK)"

The Black Police Association today urged a recruitment boycott of the Metropolitan Police claiming that, despite its new leadership, the force was marked by "a hostile atmosphere where racism is allowed to spread".

Sir Paul recently told Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, who has accused the organisation of racism, to "shut up" and get on with his job after the force's most senior Asian officer held a press conference to publicise his intention to pursue an employment tribunal.

The current racism row is threatening to fuel a civil war within the Met and lead it to its worst crisis since the Macpherson report branded it "institutionally racist" in 1998. The statement from the BPA will only add to the problems that have been tearing the Met apart at the highest level.

[ Multiculturalism failing again. The police sack an officer for supporting the British National Party, but there is no White Police Association to defend him. Yes the police are racist: against whites. ]
