24 October 2017 12:38334950Sorted. I told Mr Plod that the remarks had been made 'some time ago' when I was 'going through a difficult time'.
He said 'No problem' but advises me not to sit on the equalities committee in future.
I noticed that he still had bits of chipped nail polish on his nails which he explained was flagging up modern day slavery in 'nail salons'.
I told him this sort of thing was making the force a laughing stock and that they would get a lot more sympathy from the public if they 'flagged up' other examples of modern slavery by doing useful things like growing cannabis or washing cars.
He says he'll bring up my suggestion at his next meeting with his boss.
(I was going to point out that Plod somehow manages to spend £6 million policing the annual Notting Hill Stab-Fest but thought better of it)"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".
