The stupidity of this is off the scale:

twitter.com/MForstater/status/1556936669827317760

Imagine going on Twitter to advertise the fact that you are breaking the law.

What next? "Don't apply to us if you're a Muslim"?

What was their tweet in reply to?
It will be some 15 year old civvie handling the twitter account. Since policing involves a lot of safeguarding these days I’d say it’s positively dangerous to suggest that certain things mustn’t be said
Thats exactly what happened with the Victoria Climbié case; people were frightened of causing offence and failed to act.

I'd really like to know exactly where that heart-shaped monstrosity was posted in Nottingham City Centre, I've got some stickers that would complement/obliterate it nicely.. If anyone does know, could they post here? (Sorry for the slight derail..)

Helleofabore · 09/08/2022 12:32

They are arrogant idiots.

achillestoes · 09/08/2022 12:32

This is outrageous.

I know of someone called Amy who's recently had quite a torrid time WRT employment and inclusivity.

Amy will be delighted with the BTP's philosophy. I hope Amy notices the tweet and applies for a job.

They would be a perfect match for each other. Grin

It was in response to police openly demonstrating their homophobia and misogyny political position by displaying the flag in conjunction with their uniform. They took a political position and then claimed it’s not a political position. People aren’t supportive in the replies…

"Diversity, as long as everyone who works for us has the same opinions"

ScreechingEchoChamber · 09/08/2022 16:07

'We love to see it 👏 Inclusion isn’t political, and we’ll always celebrate being as diverse as the communities we protect. If you’re offended by this, please don’t apply to work for us - thanks 😌'

Inclusion clearly is political. In fact, I'd say that tweet was the opposite of inclusive, given that it directly states their intent not to employ anyone who disagrees with the Pride Progress flag being flown by serving police officers.

What on earth is actually wrong with them? has the heat done something to their thinking?

If Braverman is made Home Secretary they’ll be recording their pronouns on their P45s.

'Wow.... not the responses I expected boss'

CompleteGinasaur · 09/08/2022 16:24

Thanks, Sarah Phillimore, you are so right to remind them that "the internet never forgets." And neither do we..

LizzieSiddal · 09/08/2022 16:26

When are they going to answer the question as to what they do for the other protected characteristics.
I demand to see their flags for them!

ScreechingEchoChamber · 09/08/2022 16:39

Yes, they mention that they attend lots of events and fetes etc.

Not sure they usually include face painting and flag carrying, however. That said, I've not ever been to a football match, do the police usually pick a side and wear those colours?

They had a little time and a conversation and opted for a big FUCK YOU ⬇️ message

I guess somebody thinks its easier than risking going off script

SuperCamp · 09/08/2022 18:49

What the hell is wrong with the police?

Busy flaunting their rainbow credentials, having no recent history, afaik, of systematic brutality against the LGBT ‘community’ and yet where is their cringey PR around the black population? Whose CHILDREN have been subject to disproportionate illegal strip searches in the last year?

Women? Who have been photographed dead and raped, joked about dead and raped, illegally strip searched by the police.

Oh, is it ‘political’ to declare that despite widespread abuse, the police work to support black peoples and women when they need it?

ThickCutSteakChips · 09/08/2022 19:03

Let's face it, on this issue, terms like 'inclusion' and 'diversity' actually mean 'males being allowed to do whatever the fuck they like, wherever the fuck they like'.

Twas ever thus.....

How are they breaking the law? They said Offended by being Inclusive

Yes, it's a good point. Being 'inclusive' actually now has changed meaning, hasn't it? It means 'inclusive of those who agree with our political stance'.

After this weeks news re Met Police I am even more convinced of the whole lot of them being utter, utter scumbags. (Yes yes pockets of good people doing good work ofc - obligatory clause to blanket statement)

but generally they can go get fucked.

The general belief, trust and confidence in the police has surely never been so low?

Increasingly I feel the police are a club for misogynists with too much money and power and that Wayne Couzens, the murderer, was an inevitable product of the system rather than an aberration.

I really don't trust the police at all now as a very boring middle aged woman. When you've lost the trust of middle aged mums how can you legitimately function as a state police force?

SolasAnla · 12/08/2022 07:03

Oops! they had to explain they would not actually engage in discrimination, again.

The problem is, who believes clean up in aisle 9 statements when real time tweeting shows the actual attitude.

PrimAndProperViperish · 12/08/2022 07:13

They don't seem to have apologised on Twitter.

SolasAnla · 12/08/2022 07:19

PrimAndProperViperish · 12/08/2022 07:13

They don't seem to have apologised on Twitter.

Nor deleted the original statements (which i think they should not be allowed do as it hides the original, but it should be attach a clarification)
