Better change the thread title then.

I think the key point is "special treatment", the woman who was unfairly dismissed was correct in saying that everyone should be treated the same and should be equal under the law.

The fact that they aren't is the reason we have Operation Stovewood.

I didn't write the title to the thread.

If everyone shared the same characteristics then treating everyone the same would be fine, but we don't.

I recall a time when I visited a prison at a time when only female officers were available to search me. I didn't mind but had to sign a waiver to confirm that, whereas a female colleague did not. They were being sensitive to one of my characteristics (being male), but in doing so treated me differently. I'm completely comfortable with that.

The moral to the story is if you are sent on an indoctrination course just nod your head

Or think before you speak.

Mmm, sound advice

Not really because she won the case.

Sounds like only on a technicality.

Basically they wanted to sack her for speaking her mind and making comments they didn't like.

But being basically incompetent they failed

[KerrAvon]

No, they wanted to sack her for making mind numbingly stupid comments that called into question her ability to carry out her duties without prejudice.

The stupidity of her comments can be demonstrated in the passage: "They can always go home" on a course about conducting searches and arrests within people's homes.

No, the tribunal didn't judge on that so that part of the passage was probably made up.

It was a witch hunt gone wrong

[KerrAvon]

No, the tribunal did not make a finding of fact on the allegations, but when has such detail troubled you? You've gone from 'they wanted to sack her for speaking her mind' to not believing that she spoke her mind in two posts.

Can we agree that if she made the alleged comments she is wholly unsuited to being a police officer?

No we can’t

And never will whilst alleged comments are taken to be factual

[KerrAvon]

So to be completely clear, your position is that even if the alleged comments were made, you would not consider them to render a police officer unfit to serve in that role.
