By Robert Spencer on Sep 19, 2018 01:02 pm

This is wonderfully diverse and multicultural and all that. “Panel member Roger Grasby said the force had seen some success in boosting the number of staff who were female, disabled or lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) but ‘less so with BAME,'” that is, black and minority ethnic people.
