"If we look at Hounslow in London, it's a borough that is predominantly from a minority ethnic background. Now whilst my white colleagues are immensely qualified to do the job, I would put forward that Hounslow would be better served as a borough by a person from an Asian background, who has got culture in common with the local inhabitants, and perhaps speaks the same language."

Yeah, that sounds fantastic, Keith. Totally Balkanise the country by creating little ethnic minority city states with their own police forces, speaking the same languages (which, even though Hounslow etc. are in England, are presumably not English) and practicing the same religions. I'm sure the officers' first loyalty would remain with the Law. Clearly this is going to do a lot for the cause of ending segregation (nevermind the passing resemblance to the Warsaw Ghetto).

I imagine Mr. Jarret is also formulating proposals to ban black, Asian and other ethnic minority police officers from interfering in the affairs of The White Man, of course. Can't have "coloureds" arresting white people with a different background and culture from theirs, after all--it just wouldn't be right, would it?
