Sadiq Khan became mayor of London in the first place because of identity politics. Khan has turned London into a cesspool of crime, along with heightened jihad activity stemming in large part from mass migration. Recently, he blamed the coronavirus lockdown for his own “improper leadership,” which actually started at the beginning of his tenure as mayor.
Then came the news last week that “two large sculptures celebrating mass migration will be unveiled in London next year.” This follows efforts to erase London’s own history by Black Lives Matter, and Sadiq Khan isn’t finished yet. The disastrous mayor met with police “currently hiring so-called ‘racism spotters’ to examine whether prospective police officers are prejudiced,” just as Khan prepares to slash the budget of actual police. Crime will rise even more while these thought police are making sure no one is “racist.”
“Khan’s London: Met Police Hiring ‘Racism Spotters’ to Examine Prospective Officers,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, June 30, 2020:
London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is currently hiring so-called ‘racism spotters’ to examine whether prospective police officers are prejudiced, as the city’s leftist mayor, Sadiq Khan, prepares to cut the budget of actual police.
The civilian staffed position has been in place since 2003, yet the salary for racism spotters has recently been given a 50 per cent bump, meaning that they can earn £150 per day, plus expenses. The pay for the position, which is part-time, would be equivalent to a full-time salary of £39,000 — ten thousand more pounds than the starting rate for actual police officers, according to calculations made by British newspaper The Sun.
Recent advertisements from the Cressida Dick-led Metropolitan Police were promoting 50 open racism spotter positions, with those hired to work for at least 25 days per year. Prospective hirees are not required to hold any experience or qualifications in the field to be employed, though it is unclear what would qualify someone to judge if an officer is racist or not.
“The Met obviously shouldn’t be hiring officers who hold overtly racist views. But it is clearly an unreasonable use of public money to pay community assessors such huge sums when the basic salaries for police officers remain so low,” David Spencer of the Centre for Crime Prevention told the newspaper.
The pay increase was also criticised by the research director for TaxPayers’ Alliance, Duncan Simpson, who said: “A 50 per cent, taxpayer-funded pay hike is extraordinary given most people are facing a financial squeeze.
“All areas of the public sector, including the police, need to remember that every penny they spend comes from taxpayers, who are already paying the biggest tax burden for 50 years.”
In response to the revelations, a spokesman for the Met said: “To compare the day rate of casual workers with a salaried police constable, with the pension and allowances that attracts, is overly simplistic.
“Assessors also represent the diverse communities of London. It is in everyone’s best interest that we attract, recruit and retain the very best officers,” the MPS added.
Last week, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, announced that he will be looking to cut the budget of the Metropolitan Police, the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), and the fire brigade, among other public services amidst budget shortfalls due to the Chinese coronavirus.

I found a Daily Mail article about this:-

You can well imagine that these so-called racism assessors will all be far-left fanatics, determined to root out any policeman or woman who shows even mildly conservative views – just as wanting to catch criminals.
These “racism assessors” will also of course be anxious to justify their salaries and continued existence by accusing as many people as they can of racism. It won’t matter if the accusations are false and baseless.
The important thing is that they justify their existence by seeming to find lots and lots of racist white police recruits.
If you want to join the British police force these days, it seems you need to make sure you say all the right “woke” things at your interview and assessment of fitness to join.
God help us!

How much do you want to bet that the racism assessors are all non whites, and that they fail all white applicants as being “subconsciously racist”? One step on the way to an all BAME police force by 2060.

you folk need to fill those positions so it works in reverse.. Infiltrate and work from within.

I doubt that would work. Anyone who showed the least sign of “political incorrectness” would be fired–or even prosecuted.
Dawne says
It’s been the case for at least 15 years that prospective police officers have been vetted according to race. My daughter had 2 male (white) school friends who both wanted to join the police – they had good academics, great character references and had work experience in related field – both rejected several times in favour of “positive discrimination” candidates – ethnic candidates & women. Then you end up with recruits who aren’t necessarily the best available, and women PCs, who have their place in the force, but simply aren’t built to deal with riots/violent male criminals.
That, plus the cuts to police numbers and the politically correct agenda they have to work to – no wonder crime is soaring in London.
Giacomo Latta says
Don’t ask Khan about crime. It is merely ”city life.”

Criminal lives matter.
Bring on the thought police. They know what you are thinking BEFORE you think it!
mortimer says
In many cities, there are ethnic mobs. Everyone knows it. There is a TV drama series about a black mob in Harlem which collaborates with the New York mafias or competes with them.
Under the thought police, such TV shows would be banned unless the mobs were ethnically integrated.
Political correctness will lead to everyone living in constant fear. No one will ever make a joke about anything for fear of being denounced to the thought police by a co-worker.

Racism is the shame of Arabia. Almost all of them would have to be arrested by Khan.

I’m sure you know that when the thought Police take over, any accusations of a muslim be accused of being racist will swiftly be denied, and the accuser given 50 lashes, and converted to Islam.

“No no no no no. Muslims cannot be racist. Mohammed told them what to believe so it must be truth, not racism.” I’m quite sure that is what these racism thought police will be thinking.

In other words, little protection from crime for the citizens of London–but if any of them complain, they will be falsely accused of “racism”.

Anyway, Khan is digging a hole that will eventually destroy him. Middle class Londoners are leaving in their hundreds of thousands every year because of the increase in taxes and crime. I’m a “refugee” from London – we left 2 years ago to live in semi-rural England. Despite being born and brought up there, and my husband’s family having lived in London for at least 200 years, we just couldn’t stand the madness any more. Coronavirus has shown that people can work from home more and eventually Khan will be left with the poor and the migrants (plus any of the rich who still care to live in Belgravia & Mayfair).
London’s population isn’t constant; it was much lower in the 1980s after a succession of loony lefty councils ran it into the ground and people left in droves. It was only with Thatcher’s reforms that the city started to boom again and attract population growth.
gravenimage says
I understand your leaving, but I hate to see Britain’s greatest city ceded to Muslims.
Merri-joy says
The only Racists we all know are Muslims & Muhammad – Muslim’s hate all non-Muslim’s according to their own Quran – so Sadiq Khan should surrender himself to the “Racism Spotter”!
It’s not a Mayor’s job to hire “Racism Spotters” he should be immediately sacked!
Jake2169 says
The looney Tunes Diddy man racist Mayor of London who puts the rights of Muslims before all others. Sadiq, has an i and a q in the name, but unfortunately, or maybe a blessing, this Mayor simply doesn’t possess any level of an IQ! Surrounded by his personal police bodyguard, he strides out manfully with very small steps to take in his domain, the city he controls! The city that is rapidly being abandoned by many white middle class people who no longer want to live in the shit hole it has been turned into by mass immigration. There was mention of Parliament being moved to another city a while ago, and I do wonder whether or not, some politicians had begun to notice that the capital they once knew is no longer recognisable. The EU and US need to be aware that if greater control is not applied, then they too will be overrun. Muslims and the looney left have used the willing media as their favoured line of attack, they have made politicians cower at the very thought of being called names. The lunatics are winning, they are destroying our societies and no one is standing in their way, everyone has caved in to Islam. The worst racists of all are those who accuse others of being “racists”, it’s their weapon of choice and people must not be afraid to stand their ground and ignore the labels. Stand for what you believe, and never let the bully win!!!
