Just been for some dinner with a mate who was made redundant a while back, and he was telling me how he applied for a PR job with the Greater Manchester Police force.
He said that in the application form he was required to write three whole sides of A4 describing how he'd combated racism and homophobia in the work place.
All he had was the fact he'd hired an asian bloke when he worked in Birmingham. He didn't get the job, and received another three page personalised response outlining how he'd failed to highlight how he'd failed to combat racism and homophobia.
Baffling, It wouldn't be so bad if these organisations didn't just pay over-the-top lis service to it, but as he himself said: "I wouldn't mind, but when I was a kid GMP were throwing half of Hulme down the stairs."
