So Farage claims to have received hundreds of emails and letters from police officers saying they were intimidated by diversity training. As a teacher for over 25 years I did not need training to stop me behaving in a racist manner! The police have come a long way since the Stephen Lawrence case – but every report has revealed that minority groups are not treated fairly – yes there is two-tier policing, just not in the way depicted by the mealy mouthed toad. The police also have elements of misogynistic and homophobic officers. In the Henry Nowak case the police made a tragic error and this should be fully investigated, As should politicians who call for ‘cold rage’ in an attempt to gain political capital and possibly riots. The police have an increasingly difficult job, and are readily criticised for failings that are beyond their control like shoplifting; however they are a bastion against anarchy and the protectors of a civil society.
