The Metropolitan police *are* as racist as is claimed in my
experience with them. Nothing beats the classic "I wouldn't trust
these Asian gentlemen sir, they've never said a true word in their
lives." comment we got after a spot of trouble with some local kids.
Then, after some more trouble with some 'Asian' lads, I was asked to
describe one of a gang, I did, and PC Plod goes "Oh, is that the
fashion with *them* these days." It loses something in print, I feel.
