Black police group funding frozen

National Black Police Association (NBPA) funding has been frozen because of "inadequate financial controls", the Home Office has confirmed.
A lack of "other financial management procedures", had also led to the decision, a spokesman added.

Evidence of improper financial activity could lead to a fraud investigation or be referred to a local force.

The NBPA, which was told of the decision at the start of the month, received £180,000 funding last year.

Could someone please tell me why we need a National Black Police Association?

Absoloutely. It is disgusting that the Govermnet would do this, but more disgusting that people let them. Where is HM oppossition? Oh yes i forgot, they don't oppose any more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good. I hope they don't start funding it again.

Could anyone imagine the outrage at a white police organisation?

I don't object to people forming racist associations based on skin colour (or for that matter, eye colour, or hair colour). It strikes me as deeply bizarre that they should want to (what is the point?), but this is (was?) a free country.

However it is completely unacceptable that they should receive any public recognition, or worse - public money.

Something that intrigues me about the Black Police Association, is how they define black?

Black Police Association, is how they define black

Basically, anyone who isn't white. But the couldn't call it the '**** off white coppers this is our club" could they?

more seriously, this from their website:-

Quote:

The definition of "Black" does not refer to skin colour.

The emphasis is on the common experience and determination of the people of African, African-Caribbean and Asian origin to oppose the effects of racism

common experience? between chinese and caribbean? like what?

on second thoughts, perhaps they should have called it "the **** off white coppers this is our club"

As a fact there is widespread and systematic racial discrimination against white ethnic minorities in the police, and their onsultation with the BPA has reinforced this. In this bizarre world the way forward ( though we dont believe in this colour ****) is a white police association getting on board a Pole or Latvian to accuse police forces of racism.

I'm tempted to write to my MP and the Commission for Racial Equality to complain about the BPA, do you think it would get far?
