Last week I was helping out on a response shift(police). My core role doesn’t see me doing very much traditional police work at the moment.

Anyway I got to be dealing with a guy who was in a bit of a mental health spiral for various reasons, so I went into my “emergency” stash of food and gave him some sweets and crisps and stuff, nipped back to the station for some tea and coffee and a couple porridge pots.

The youngster I was working with was shocked, completely unaware you could just give someone a bag of Haribos.

For starters this isn’t a bad faith right wing question. I am very much in favour of organisations being proactive in their recruitment strategies in order to have a workplace that reflects society.

That being said I do wonder if a bunch of middle class men and women from diverse racial backgrounds kind of misses the whole point.

We need working class white/black/gay people to be represented in places as well otherwise it’s not really that reflective of society.

Don’t be pissed off if I’ve worded this poorly, like I say I’m not making any anti-diversity comment I’m asking a pro-diversity question.
