If I had a colleague with that beard, I'd respect them more.

only having that article to go on....
But this makes me fucking angry, not least because the daily mail concentrate on the beard aspect of the story, rather than the use of the P word, and the other instances.
What he did as a community support officer after the 7/7 attacks is comendable, and even if his performance wasnt up to scratch during that later period of bullying, no fucking wonder!
Sounds like a decent bloke.. grr

Since this is from my home town of Luton, I'm not surprised.

It has a failing football team, even though some locals religiously support them. It's car manufacturing business is pretty much non-existent. The night life is pretty limited, that and it's thousand and one chicken/pizza/kebab and chip shops to stop off at one the way home. It's like most towns in the UK I guess Besides the car manufacturing bit.

I imagine the most important reason for filing the complaint was at being called a "fucking paki" not because of beard jibes...

I say, "I'm dusgusted that a police officer is allowed to wear a beard." Even a hilarious beard. In the US, all cops must be clean shaven (outside of undercover that is)
Still, it is a very funny beard. I would have made fun of that beard regardless of race or service record.
