PC Zahid Malik.
Some gentle advice to PC Zahid Malik.
The former community police officer of the year has written to the Home Office's new magazine for front-line officers, The Sharp End.
His letter said: "In a piece on the Met's Crime Museum you use the term 'Black Museum' for this 'notorious police museum' and 'the man in black' to accompany a picture of the curator.
"I question the negative use of the word 'black' in these contexts. We all should be working towards improving recruitment, retention and progression of black and minority ethnic staff within the police service.
"I feel that this does not help the hard work of many colleagues within the service who seek to establish good relations and promote a positive image of a police service which values diversity."
Get a life, sunshine.

I'd say the estate of Johnny Cash has greater grounds for complaint.

I wonder whether "Evenin' all" is offensive to insomniacs?

Mark, it's offensive to people in different time zones, is what it is.
It's high time the differently-zoned were given a fair shake. The next time I hear some vicious bigot smugly wish me a "good morning" as if it weren't evening in Australia, I'll throttle the creep.
That'll teach him.
