      How far will this pendulum swing back, huh?

      Rainbow decals are not a big deal.

      The kind of people who care about Pride rainbows on Police cars are the kind of people who have far to much interest in what’s going on between other people’s legs.

      I don’t live in the UK now and haven’t for six years but I watch those street walking videos on YouTube as I am planning to move back from the UK.

      I was really surprised to see how prevalent the pride flag as well as specifically the Trans flag. Plastered on many businesses, restaurants, cafes, cars, flagpoles with people wearing lanyards, badges whatever. I barely saw a Union, England or weirdly Welsh flag in the Cardiff city centre.

      Now of course these videos are not live so may very well be from pride month but is it really that prevalent? I also barely remember pride month being much of a thing when a I lived there, is it really that big?

      Disclaimer I support all LGBT rights and take no issue with the flag >!I think the new design is no where near as good as the original!<

      Edit: Just to be clear I am not saying this as a fact but my impression from some videos I have saw. I could very well and likely be wrong.

      Hmm. I do think our services should be apolitical but I also don’t think being gay should be a topic of political discussion!

      We just live in a shit world.

      Yep, the police shouldn’t be supporting things which are engrained in law as protected characteristics at all…

      I don’t really see a problem with police cars showing pride or trans colours etc.

      I’ve seen cars with the pride colours near me, and it didn’t make me think that the police would be biased.

      It’s the same with police officers attending pride events in uniform, as long as they are behaving in a manner appropriate for a police officer then I don’t see an issue.

      Of course, a way around it would be to wear something else that denotes them as members of the police, t-shirts made for the event showing the police forces badge etc, though I accept this wouldn’t work for events happening within the next few weeks.
