Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

UK: Police service is too white, says Hampshire's chief constable after racism scandal

So wonderful when people see the light: there are really too many whites. Page Rachel Dolezal.

A police force is too white, which is "not OK", a chief constable has conceded in the wake of a racism scandal.

Olivia Pinkney, chief constable of Hampshire Police, admitted she is concerned by a lack of diversity in the ranks, adding she is aware her own senior leadership team "look the way they do".

Chief constable Pinkney made the remarks after five officers were sacked from the service's Serious Organised Crime Unit for using racist, sexist, and homophobic language.

She said: "[It] is a concern. If we look at the Chief Officer group of this constabulary, we are half female and have all sorts of other diverse characteristics – but we are all white.

"I'm really aware of that and so I'm doing what I can to mitigate in the short term and I have a very detailed plan, which also national policing has as well, to try and shift that balance.

"It's not OK that we look like we do across UK policing and I know my colleagues and I are all determined to shift that".
