PC gone Mad

I see the Met Police are taking Political Correctness to the nth degree. A uniformed Mascot of one of Blunkett's Bobbies (PCSO'S) was criticised by one of the force's sergeants for failing to represent the capital's communities.

He said the figure, white with blue eyes and blond hair, risks leaving Asian and women officers "isolated".

According to the Telegraph

senior officers said they would invest £15,000 in the design and production of three new characters.

In a written response to the London Assembly, Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, said staff from the force's diversity unit were brought in to help create the costumes.

So what started out as a simple and effective idea which was popular in schools has been turned into an issue which could damage the public image of the Police
