Police force in Gloucester?

Not meaning to fan the flame of racial division;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire...

I cannot believe this story, it actually sickens me, as someone who has been seeking for the last year since to think I may have missed out on work just so a company could give the job to a non-white British born citizen, just to fill quotas.

    a while ago the same force advertised for community support workers, i sent off for the application forms and read that they were particularly keen on employing ethnics and women. I'm a woman but I'm white so I didnt send it back because there was already trouble with males being turned down, so I thought why waste my time going through the forms when there was a good chance of being turned down before I even got a look in. It put me off, and now they're advertising again.

    I think its terrible that the original ethnically native born people of (England) -this country are discriminated against in their own ethnic country of origin. I NOTED that some posters have claimed theyll get lots of compensation - £2,500 is not a lot of compensation, still their is discrimation of the original ethnically native born British women too, by people of their own ethnicity due to sexism, so theirs discrimination everywhere.

    Yes, yes it's all very bad, but the people who were discriminated against will get plenty of compensation.

    Quotas are actually common in police recruiting. What is wrong about this situation is the way they went about filling them.

    Politicians, not the police.Do you do what your boss tells you, what happens if you don't.People are all too quick at knocking the police.
