It is such a complete nonsense this. Nothing but virtue signalling. Male choirs have a distinct musical character, sound and repertoire, with a history that reaches back over a thousand years. It's an important cultural phenomenon. And beautiful.
To deliberately set out to destroy one in the name of equality is tokenism. A tone-deaf move which demonstrates clearly the Chief Constable doesn't understand the fight for women's rights and equality. A male choir is not the tool or even symbol of women's oppression.
