I didn’t know the Brit’s could sue for discrimination, I’m mean White Brits could do so. It should be an equal opportunity to question what your employer has done.

I worked in the law enforcement field, and was taught that the dumbest question, was the one you didn't ask.

I’m with Equine. Huh? White Brit’s are favored in the UK? Have you been paying attention or are we misinterpreting?

C’mon mate, get with the PROGRAM of surrender.

Don’t fight it, don’t question it because you will be fired and ostracized...later the Muslims will physically beat you and after that they will stab you in the heart.

So...get with the PROGRAM.

I was both surprised and pleased that one of their former police officers came forward and exposed the promotion of lies concerning the social effects of Islam.

My previous post #2, was poorly worded. If I was famous, I would blame “Interns” or AI.

If he can’t hired anywhere now and received a meager payout, I’d call it a Pyrrhic victory.

Sounds to me like he doesn’t want to work for them anymore.

Quote: “”I am pleased to have now reached a settlement, I want to move on with my life but believe radical national change is needed in our police force,” Salmons said.”

“That case has now been settled on confidential terms.”

Hah. I feel his pain.

1995 or so , US Navy Rights and Responsibilities class. The facilitator, a black E-7 was railing against how a people like the KKK won’t be tolerated in the armed forces . SPLC level crap the clown was spewing.

I posed a question about the National of Islam . Should they be tolerated in the armed forces ?

Chief wasn’t able to handle the question, class was put on a break. There would be no further discussion of the National of Islam is what I was told.

The UK government has made the decision to turn the UK muslim, which means that British women will be raped and British men will be killed.

And if you were really famous, you'd just blame Trump and get on TV again with the other "enlightened" people.

My first thought was is “what the hell are they (Muslims) doing in Britain.”

Taking over.
