Edit: to the above - at the very least they should, given this is the police, interrogate the nature of the accusation and see whether it appears genuinely vexatious or something does appear dodgy.
And then make a call that way.
My friends parents were falsely accused of abusing one of their foster children and it would be really crappy if they could never work again due to the biological mother lying because she was outraged at (rightly) losing her kids.
But as I said before this is the police. His accusation was probably a bonus given that it’s full of rapey abusive men.

I'd take a very dim view of any hints of wrongdoing. I definitely wouldn't let diversity targets interfere with public safety. Quite. Sound judgement and common sense have been abandoned. |

What exactly would you like the police to do? |

Warn them to stop and tell them they'll be arrested for racially aggravated breach of the peace if they don't.

What is your legal background that confirms that’s what happened here? |

I was thinking about a new thread here because, while this bloke's a dickhead, it's the pantomime around his hearing that I find especially scandalous. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-68416469.ampWhy the hell does this hearing need to take three days, and what evidence needs to be collected? Surely this could be dealt with by an interview with his boss and HR. It just seems that the public sector are fixated on getting a few quid for everyone. |

I agree. Why three days to decide a case that, to me, seems pretty binary?
Let's face it, it sadly isn't such a surprise these days to hear or read of "TOP COP FOUND TO BE DISHONEST", is it?

No, it's another area of life where personal honour seems to be a handicap. I have to say that I miss the days when people in leadership roles were expected to set a good example.

The rot often comes from the top, 13 years of a moarraly bankrupt government mired in corruption has its effect of all the institutions of state, and as we seeing more generally, on society itself.
