UK Era can testify to many of our politicians and journalists repeatedly saying that the UK is not a racist country.

It is very much racist, its just much more covert here.

They've not actually had the old school helmets up here in Scotland since WW2. I remember someone visiting here and being disappointed by that, lol.

Wait, why is he wearing a monocle? Is this some sort of strangely specific fetish?

"Jumping on the bandwagon" ?!?! Fucking hell... How ignorant of the issues can you be? UK cops are so much better than their US counterparts, and I do believe that there are good ones (which I'm not sure I believe about the US cops)..... But we've got a LOOOOOONG way to go before I can fully support the UK cops.

Despite the shittyness of it, it still seem extremely polite compared to what would happen in the same situation in the US. The miracles of the accent.

But yeah, that's clearly wrong. Cops are shit everywhere.

idk but I still like my image of british police to be silly men chasing robbers with batons.

No surprise.

The first response should be "am I being detained?" answer is no then tell them to do one.

You don't need to tell or show the police any identification. Don't give them the time of day with their BS.

To all of the people thinking it wasn't as bad in multicultural U.K - it's tearing our country apart.

I was working reception at an office once and the cops turned up and asked for us to hand over CCTV tapes. I replied certainly - I presume you have the paperwork and warrant?

They were not pleased by my following the law.

They're so badly trained. They fucked up every opportunity to deescalate the situation and actually made it worse at several points.
I guess that's what happens when your caught lying and are immediately on the back hop.

You only have to look at Stop & Frisk or more recently the disproportionate amount of BAME people being fined for breaking lockdown to know that Britain definitely isn't free of racism, especially in the police/courts.

Apalling. The youtube alogorithm has been throwing me videos of JME getting pulled over for absolutely no reason. Some of those vids were ten years old, clearly nothing has changed. ACAB forever
