WTF is "too male"? Would it be ok if it was a 'male' mascot with breasts then?too male
Yeah, heaven forbid that we have a mascot that's white in a country where the population is predominantly whiteand white
While I don't have any stats to back it up I'd imagine the majority of the force is white too, thus is just a reflection on the people within it?
They should make a shemale version too while their at it.
You're right Dave, I shouldn't have read it.

GRRR.
Goes off to buy "winter lights season" gifts as i might offend some ethnic minority if I'm talking about the C word.
I've got a migraine coming on, gotta go
lol , this must be a made up story surely
Words fail me.
'The Met will spend £15,000 in making three new characters.'
What terrific use of our taxes.
I actually dont know what to say, but seriously who ever is in charge of deciding what is 'politically incorrect' and what isnt, should really deserve to die.
'A police mascot criticised for being too male and white will be replaced by more "ethnically diverse" models.'
Male?!?!
WHITE?!?!
Thats a bit extreme.
Quick, write a letter to the Guardian.
I prefer political correctness than political discrimination. This doesn't anger me I'd say there are things of much higher importance to put the fund/resources in.
People really need to learn that "life isn't fair". It's not offensive, or deragotry to pick a mascot that emphasises charactistics of the majority! It's a mascot damnit, it represents what people are most likely to see or associate with a brand, in this case the brand's the police force and most coppers people see are white males!
WHAT THE... That mascot has BLONDE hair, what about us Ginger people eh? WHAT ABOUT US? This is an absolute outrage
Yes, it's pathetic, isn't it... How many female and/or black people if you asked them on the streets would say they gave a damn what he looked like? Quite. What a total waste of time and money

Hell and Fire was spawned to be released.
"The original mascot was based on a real officer" -thats one funny looking copper.
Anyway back on point. The original was popular, did it's job and was sponsored by someone else. How many stab proof vest's does £15k buy, or how many PCSO's could it train.
Gingers For Justice?WHAT THE... That mascot has BLONDE hair, what about us Ginger people eh? WHAT ABOUT US? This is an absolute outrage
