New police mascott "too white and too male"
BBC NEWS | England | London | New police mascot more 'diverse'
You just can't make it up! and to think another £15K of taxpayers money being wasted.

Make him look like a Brazilian.
They have some sort of a point. IIRC 29% of the greater London population are non-white, and they have probably the touchiest relations with the police, so some PR is necessary. It's when they do this nationally, where only 8% of the population are non-white, that it's overkill.
No idea about the male/female balance though.

It's that idiot 'Blair' again.
They should put this guy in charge instead:

Pc Geoff Parker, who works in Islington, said: "One of the things that is damaging our job and our relations with the community is this constant overbearing political correctness.
"We seem to be taking the issue to the extreme, and pandering to every whim and gripe. We need to take a sensible approach to this and stop over-reacting."

Maybe there'll be a launch of a childrens' Christmas range, complete with "Tube stake-out" set, men in masks shouting "I said FREEZE MFer!" <BANG*7> !!
And a "lie" button containing such euphemisms as... "...heavy coat on a warm day..." "...leapt over the turnstile..." "...ran for the train...".

"The new costumes, expected to be ready early next year, include a woman PCSO, named Sunita, and a man and a woman police constable."
And that'll upset the gay community - a man and a woman, whatever next
They'll be complaining about the colour of snowflakes soon......

<shakes head in disbelief>
Looks like the met are going for the most PC PC of the year then.
this country has enough problems without this sort of stupic pc-gone-mad bollox. The met should be ashamed of themsleves, 15k of their money would be better spent funding a cop for 6 months rather than a dummy - if we wanted a dummy we would loook towards Sir Ian Blair, if we require three then Brown and the home secreatary (her name escapes me) would do just fine.

you know summet, i feel discriminated against cos i am white... lets look at the evidence... they are removing christmas, cos its deemed as unfair against other religions... (who celebrates xmas, mainly whites).. blackboards and white boards have been removed from schools (now called information centres!), there are other examples, like the dummy from the police... the thing is tho, if whites scream racism, we get ignored.... why??

stupid... i'm not the one who spent 15k on a stupid dummy, only for the political brigade to pull it to shreds... surely the bloke who designed it, knows what pit of a country we live in, and should have expected this kind of reaction
