Metropolitan police spend £7 million on ethnic minorities
by Justine Doody.
Ali Dizaei has today thanked the Metropolitan Police on behalf of the Iranian community for their efforts to confront the problem of ethnic minorities in the police force. Dizaei told reporters:
"The attention paid to my career and well-being by the Met has been nothing short of staggering. From checking out my favourite restaurants, checking up on my family and assigning me a personal bodyguard (at least I think that's who the guy who kept following me was...), the Met have sent a real message out to the black community."
Following the most costly corruption trial of a single officer in British history, the Met have pledged to continue to uproot undesirable elements in the police force, and to maintain their interest in Mr. Dizaei and his family.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police denied that among the charges dropped on 15 September were accusations that Mr. Dizaei had been responsible for Iran's nuclear programme, the sale of uranium to Saddam Hussein and the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.
He also told BIGfib that the Met believes that the £7 MILLION spend was entirely justified:
"Of course it costs a lot following Arabs around, tapping their phone calls, and performing undercover interviews of friends and family, but we have to do it. We're not in America here, otherwise we could just ship them to Guantanamo Bay."
