Candle light vigil for zero victims

Spotted by RM in the Daily Express:

SCOTLAND’s largest police forces have been criticised after hosting politically correct candlelit vigils for sex-swap crime victims. Strathclyde Police hosted a “Transgender Day of Remembrance” in its Glasgow headquarters despite plans to shed 800 staff in the face of a £128million budget deficit...

Strathclyde Police statistics show that there have been no homophobic murders or attempted murders since officers started recording hate crimes... Force officials refused to say how many people turned up for the events, but a similar event at a HIV clinic in Sheffield, Yorkshire, was recently cancelled due to a lack of interest.

“I am surprised that the /service name goes here/ had the time and resources to carry out this service.

Perhaps things are not as tight as they think.”


I will be adopting this as a mantra.

WOAR, it is not the cost of the time and the resources of this single event that is an issue, it is the cost of the salary of the person who thought this a good idea. You can be pretty damn sure he/she wasn't a serving police officer. Why do we have such people working in the police force?
