A point raised by the BNP in the BBC prog was regarding the Met Police Black Police Association. I just looked it up on the web.
The BNP just had a court ruling about its conditions of membership being illegal as it is restricted to White people only.
Is it surprising that there is conflict in UK when the Met Police black Association is legal ? Its conditions of membership are:-
Membership
Membership to the Association is available to all black staff employed by the Metropolitan Police Service.
There are three categories of membership available:
Full Membership
Full membership is open to all serving (black) police officers and (black) police staff directly employed by the MPS or the Metropolitan Police Authority who meets the criteria set out in the constitution of the Association.
Associate Membership
Associate membership is open to all serving (black) police officers and (Black) police staff directly employed by a constabulary or police authority within the UK, who are not part of the Metropolitan Police Service, and (Black) police staff employed by outsourced contractors whose main role is to support the Metropolitan Police Service.
Friends Membership
Support from the community is critical to our success and therefore we welcome supporter as friends under a special Friends membership. For further details, please email friends@metbpa.com
(NB the Italic word Black was added by me to make it clear, as per the first condition)
