And...That's Different To Now, How?

“It would create an immediate risk that people could come to this country who were serious offenders, either wanted or still serial and serious offenders committing crimes in this country, and we would not know about it. ”
So, it'd be just like it currently is, then? And it'd still take us ages to get rid of them? Especially if they claimed asylum...
“As an organisation we have prided ourselves for a very long time … of being an organisation that wants to be anti-racist, inclusive, wants to be diverse.
“What we must not do at any point, now or in the future, is lower our standards in terms of integrity and professionalism, diversity, inclusion.”
You've already lowered them. To the point that the public wonder now if you even have any standards.

"Wants to be diverse"

Anyone seeing a picture of the Deputy Chief Constable of Derbyshire Constabulary, Rachel Swann would have no doubt of that...

Here in West Yorkshire, plod don't want to work as much as they want to be diverse. PC Carter or Mr Gay UK, as he was better known, fully embraced a new policy with a notably 'different' uniform and his 'special activities'. His personal regalia featured a subtle hint of truncheon end, trying to escape tight, black, plastic hot pants (see the Matt Lucas' fictional character, Dafydd Thomas.)

Constable Carter's beat appeared to be confined to 'diverse patrols' of Leeds public conveniences, where he assaulted anyone taking his fancy. He left the Farce after establishing new standards.

Yup. “What we must not do at any point, now or in the future, is lower our standards in terms of integrity and professionalism, diversity, inclusion.”

“In a no deal we’d lose all that. We’d have to renegotiate it.”

There- that wasn't hard, was it?

God, what an embarrassment to the uniform...

"Here in West Yorkshire, plod don't want to work as much as they want to be diverse. "

If only it WAS just West Yorkshire..

"There- that wasn't hard, was it?"

We can't be expected to simultaneously believe that our politicians are so brilliant they need inflation-busting payrises, and yet unable to negotiate a simple agreement. Can we?
