Nutty Britain. Again.
POLICE chiefs have banned IT staff from using the word blacklist over fears it is RACIST.
The computer term whitelist — used to denote a list of acceptable contacts — has also been outlawed.
In an email, Scotland Yard warned staff the words were no longer “appropriate”…’

    Foolishness worthy of the DOJ under Eric Holder.

    Time to blacklist anything emanating from The Mother Country. Unfortunately, where they go with such PC stupidity, we surely will soon follow.

    “Security services chief Brian Douglas wrote: “IB (Information Board) are uncomfortable with the use of the term Whitelist (and I presume Blacklist).”

    I would be more “uncomfortable” with the lack of sanity within the security services :evil:

      I’m not interested in their “comfort” – I just want them to do their bloody job. :wtf

    And Black Ops. And blackberry jam. And how about carbon black? Clearly racist, that is, and never mind white-outs and whiteboards…..

      …so I guess they are not really “blacklisting” the term blacklist?
      This could get complicated :mrgreen:

    Perhaps they could african american list things.

    Kind of reminds me of the time a few years ago when a Republican used the word “niggardly” in a speech.

    Outrage ensued

    Scotland Yard?Ireland,Wales,England Yards.No one should be excluded.

    Clearly there’s no crime in London if these clowns can give any thought to this newspeak.

    I remember back in the early ’80s that social workers in the UK wouldn’t have a black or white coffee,it was coffee with or w/o milk. So it’s taken 30 years to reach the top echelons of plod.Not bad.The fools making these decisions now were 20 then, so it shows how the infection is caught young ,develops and is then disseminated when the fools get to the top.
    Cameron would be another example.

    Yep. The ‘schools as propaganda mills’ post tells us what future generations are in for, Kowtow. I’m glad I won’t be around to see it.

    Yet another screaming example of how low the once great British police have been brought .

    Mind you criticism from Labour on this subject is a bit rich!
    Now let’s move on , celebrate and embrace the diversity dividends that Muslim immigration brings.
    As a matter of trivial interest The Greater Personchester Police take great pride in flying the so called “rainbow” flag from their premises on whatever day it’s being “celebrated”. Sir Robert Peel must be rolling in his grave.
