I need some rather dark paint for my drainpipe and guttering. What do I ask for at B&Q? Noir? Nero? I know, Klab. No, not wrongly spelled. Used to be a butcher, backslang. I nearly put blackslang.

Smiler.

Presumably they are going to ban the use of the nickname or term 'Persil' applied to certain officers.
And so they should, its omophobic.

Storm in a teacup (can I say that?).

There must be more to this story? Surely several people in the Met couldn't be so stupid as to take this common phrase as a racist statement?
Of course there's more to the story. The Standard is basically the Daily Mail.

I'm all for this idiocy.

The more absurd and nonsensical these pogroms against nothing become the sooner it'll all disappear up it's own ahole, it's long overdue.

And if it doesn't, and this sort of bks actually becomes a part of modern mores then I'll just wait for an early, comfortable death. It's a win win.

My Nan ran a private day nursery in Leicester a few years back, New Walk if anyone went there!

I lived in the flat above while at Uni and when I was there she received a letter from Leicester City Council and the education authority saying that the words should be changed to "green sheep" along with a few other gems like, had to be called a chalk board and not black board and "coffee with no milk" on the coffee machine.

This was the early 90's, no doubt thought up by 12 white people sitting in the offices and thinking they had done really well.

She ignored them, repeatedly.
Show me a letter.

One real laugh out loud moment for me in the BBC series - The Bodyguard was when the security bod was hassling the MPs, one of whom he had the job of protecting the Home Secretary.

The security guy is white - so white he could probably trace roots back to King Arthur.

One of the MPs didn't like the security guy distracting them and told the other Home Secretary - "can you throw some nuts to your monkey" to which the security bloke bounced back with "I'm mixed race sir".

The look on the MPs face was total shock!

Brilliant.
Mrs P and I both said as one that he should have the monkey to get lost and take his organ grinder with him.

The Article said:
A “good egg” is also thought to be discouraged in police ranks because it is deemed to be too closely associated with “egg and spoon”, rhyming slang for a highly offensive racist term.
Coon?
Well yes, but how Mr Plod manages to associate the term "good egg" with "egg and spoon" is beyond me. Apart from sharing the word "egg" that is. So would ordering say "egg on toast" in the police canteen be considered racist I wonder ?
