Black Police Leaders Are 'Racist'

A Tory MP has provoked fury by accusing Britain's black police leaders of being racist.

David Davies said black police representatives in London had behaved worse than the apartheid regime in South Africa by urging ethnic minorities not to join the Metropolitan Police force.

Correct!

In a speech to the National Black Police Association annual conference, he also slammed the organisation for not allowing white people interested in fighting racism to become full members.

Good!

His comments sparked an angry reaction from delegates. Up to a dozen walked out in protest and others slow-handclapped the MP for Monmouth, who was likened to a BNP extremist.

Ah yes - the easily offended brigade walks out rather than addresses the serious issues that David Davies sought to stick under their easily-offended noses.

Daylight is Precious. Let's Stop Wasting it.

If we didn't put the clocks back we could cut crime, keep fitter - and reduce carbon emissions

At a time when we are being encouraged to minimise waste, shouldn't we think about how much we waste our daylight?
