Police Officer Sacked because he was a member of the BNP

[minestrone]

The employee is not being sacked for being white or hetrosexual. The employee is being sacked because of this public support for the BNP, which is an organisaton that is inheritly biased towards certain minority groups, which therefore appears to be making their judgement impaired, whether the employee is active or not.

But it was not public support, the list only came out because of an illegal act.

I doubt he was goose stepping up and down the station.

If he wants to be a member of the BNP then he shouldn't join the Police force.

IMHO They should have sacked him for being thick

In my opinion anyone who goose steps whilst on the beat, gasses people he doesnt like or invades smaller countries, or beats up people he feels to be inferior should not be alowed to stay in the police. no way, never.

Did I say he was???? If you read my post again I was answering SueEllen's point that every form of discrimination has been outlawed, when it clearly has not.

What's the world coming to when even the Police can't be racist. Next you'll be telling me that they can't beat confessions out of suspects anymore!

It's a much easier life in the thought-police eh? pmeswani

Innocent of what? It's not a crime to join the BNP.

exactly. and by the same token, as a non-practising paedophile it was totally unfair of the PC thought-police to sack me from my job as a swimming instructor at the local youth club.

Imagine the response to non-white emergencies and the level of service. Would it be the same, i guess not

It's not the only job where you can't be a member of an organisation that is opposed to the ethics of your client/employer and to be asked such questions at interview. They don't want to employ people who would seek to destroy or impede their objectives from a dogmatic and opposing personal prefference.

but it is one of the organisations where they are trying to reflect society as a whole. Maybe we try to identify the policeman who most represents us, and have a sort of 'sponsored policeman' scheme.
