BBC NEWS | UK | ACPO bans police from joining BNP: "Mr Fox said: 'Under this policy, no member of the police service, whether police officer or police staff, may be a member of an organisation whose constitution, aims, objectives or pronouncements contradict the general duty to promote race equality.
'This specifically includes the British National Party."

- not being funny, but surely racism is 'noticing that someone else is different to you and then deciding that you don't like them because of it' Its a bit like 'gingerism' but not really the same as 'football supporterism' but I mean the northern ireland situation is basically not racism, it could be alled accentism (maybe) and religionism, but you'd probably not want people who hated one side and loved the other to necessarily be in your police force.

Any thoughts??
