A police applicant who was rejected for being a white heterosexual male is now set to join the force after it was found to have discriminated against him.

Mr Furlong, who has a degree in particle physics from Lancaster University, performed well in tests and in interview but the force was desperate for more recruits from ethnic and sexual minorities so it refused to hire him.

An employment tribunal found Cheshire Constabulary discriminated against Mr Furlong on the grounds of sexual orientation, race and sex.

The force began holding recruitment days at pride events, faith centres and Sikh temples, and appointed an LGBT 'positive action adviser' to drive recruitment on social media.

- So it's true, the Old Bill ARE institutionally racist..

The next thing you'll tell me is that ethnic or muslim suspects get treated differently by police.

This doesn't surprise me. I know a guy who they wouldn't promote to inspector just because of his surname. Poor old officer bitz should have sued them.

Indeed, all these madcap rules were invented by a low ranker too, that's the thing, a Police Constable "Gone-Mad".
