So an officer tries to stab his colleagues in the back, and now whines when it comes back to haunt him. "ostracised by fellow officers" - I should hope so, who would want to work with a treacherous piece of scum like him! Maybe the way they uncovered the snitches' identity was a bit unorthodox, but it worked. Maybe someone will think twice before they pull a stunt like this again.

...any cops try to expose racism within the force.

Perhaps his time would have been better spent stop-and-searching muslims...

GMP racism

The GMP have spent a lot of time looking for the mole now their's a surprise,not. The police are inherently racist it is part of their remit and the only way to get rid of it is to abolish the police, but in the meantime I support anyone who shows the police in their true light and unfortunately it involves the tactics used by the BBC which at the moment is the only way to counteract these racists as long as they are given cover by the state.

Anyone who aspires to be a cop should expect to work surrounded with treacherous pieces of scum!

Racism and the BBC

Why would anyone believe the BBC when it talks about racism? Greg Dyke described it as a 'hideously white' organisation a few years ago, and at all levels apart from those appearing on screen, it still is. The BBC is not trustworthy.

Don't trust the BBC on racism

The BBC was described as 'hideaously white' a few years ago by its then director general Greg Dyke. It still is, except for people who appear on screen. The BBC is not trustworthy.
