Wouldn't surprise me at all nothing would really

Pathetic article. What do you say robertverkaik1

1. I have a degree in journalism. I joined the police. Every single day I read something in the press that reaffirms I made the right career choice. This article is pathetic. The Guardian was my parents newspaper of choice. It used to be a powerful social watchdog. I can

How will we improve recruitment with such disingenuous reporting? Officers are paid according to length of service and rank. There is NO pay gap between officers at the same stage in their career. What are you trying to achieve with this article?

Another shitrag

what a load of crap we're all paid the same

Disgraceful so called journalism. Absolute pack of lies, innuendo and misinformation Gutterpress

Click bait.. next

Oh Guardian, you are the left-wing equivalent of the Daily Mail. What an embarrassment 😳

Utter fabrication by the Guardian. Officers are paid the same relative to length of service/rank. There is not and never has been a regulation which states officers get paid less due to skin colour. Waily Fail levels of bullshit from the guardian.

It’s easy to look up pay scales on any website. Too hard for the useless lazy people you have working for you though! It’s a reason I don’t buy or subscribe to any of the useless toilet paper now printed!

In other news..

It makes me wonder all of these people reading and commenting on this thinking it's true? This is one of the reasons our country is called (Broken Britain) the like of this paper and others have turned people into robots and believe anything that is in the news, singleminded

and that is how wages are lowered to make more money for the rich as the fact is people cannot afford to do jobs to live a normal UK life but outsiders will live how many to a house or even caravans and tents so yes we cannot compete with this

This is a load of bollocks. Misinformation. Irresponsible journalism.

What a load of utter tripe. Get your facts right dreadful reporting. mindgamesbook excop profiling

Pay is determined by Rank and Time served. Perhaps this is because the majority of BAME Officers have less service. Your article is shambolic inflammatory tripe. Awful journalism promoting a negative agenda about an organisation which is working hard under unbelievable pressures.

Disgusting headline and a complete lie. All ranks get paid the same and get paid on increments after so many years. The author of this should be ashamed

Utter horse shit. No cop, doing the same job, with the same experience, on the same force, for the same hours is getting paid a single penny less just because they're black

Yoooo how can u write all 37 senior officers on £100k salary are all white, there should be shame in that statistic rt...

This article is designed to fuel racial tensions . The pay disparity is due to the length of service of officers and staff and the type of role. To suggest a bame Officer with two years service be paid the same as n officer with 20 years experience is absurd.

Bullshit

Absolute nonsense and poor quality reporting. Police pay scales are set in stone and your service dictates which scale you are on, the same as teachers. It doesn’t matter what colour you are.

We’re heading backwards!

‘The report makes it clear... staff pay is determined by role with no reference to ethnicity’ Guardian wears it’s social conscience like a bad toupee these days.

How ? Isn't a rate set for the job and rank, years served ?

What There’s a transparent pay scale! It’s not based on ethnicity it’s a standard scale of pay across the service! Very poor journalism from a paper I did have respect for.

Hi guardian.

I don't understand this, if they are doing the same job?

That is simply disgraceful. A job is worth what the job is worth. No more, no less, despite your race, gender and sexual orientation. Simply cannot believe this type of thing is going on. Embarrassing. Shame on those which make these decisions.

I guess there's no black guys in the masons then eh.

Deborah19952002 Mps cutting the police got a pay rise. GTTO

Just like the current gendre pay gap. R these comparison based in the avg black person & the average white person? Does it take into account avg white & black person per rank & job role?

Or to put it more accurately, Black police are paid the exact same as white police.

I don’t believe that fake news

I hope that's fake news.

In twenty one god damned century!

But people that do the same job are paid the same. This is about promotion opportunities, not pay.

More utter nonsense. Diversity quotas are already crippling our police.

Why, is this something to do with the 'master race'?

How do you explain this one?

Absolute garbage.

That’s incredible. Different pay scales for different races? Or could it be that large amounts of blacks just joined the force recently so more are on the bottom of the scale. This sounds like statistics are being used to deceive the people.

I do find it potently hypocritical that a paper that writes about race and prejudice in every other article try so hard to racially divide people with misleading headlines.

utter bullshit as per usual. All government agencies are transparent on pay structures. You are the print version of CNN

Do not trust this title. It is more fake news. This is an artificial gap created by misusing statistics. They even admit it. “BAME employees who undertake the same role, have the same length or and work the same hours, receive the same pay as white employees.”

The Guardian never misses an opportunity to stir up racial division

We need to insure quality in our forces, and misleading the people with headlines fails. Any corruption that prevents groups from accessing upper levels within the system need to be dealt with so we support the great work of law enforcement.

The black population in London that qualify for this job is less than 10%. fakenews

You can see in the comments people believe this headline when in the article the data shows a white and black officer in the same position earn the same. The left is racist, creating more divide in our population and your shoddy reporting is too.

Next: Theresa May earns more than the people who clean No. 10.

Completely misleading headline! Poor journalism!

Read the article. The report says they’re not paid less for doing the same job. The report goes on to show that more senior officers happen to be white. There is no pay gap.

Ffs having a go at a pay structure that is entirely transparent. This is a non story in terms of pay. Promotion, retention, etc different story but to headline it as an ethnic pay gap is completely wrong (and the Met should not have indulged the medias thirst for division)

A very misleading headline when the report actually shows a person of colour doing exactly the same job as a white police officer gets paid exactly the same. The difference is because there are more white officers earning more in higher ranks. This is just poor lazy journalism

Complete bullshit.

ENGLAND IS A RACIST COUNTRY ALWAYS WAS...PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL BE. DISGRACEFUL

TRUE DATA why did 300 uk police who broke law never went to court some crimes where bad why is it law for public law for police and rich bbc found the crime data

my goodness!when will bigotry end?will it ever?
