English cop

[dogone]

The police chief of a Canadian city has been fired. Farood sheikh was an English cop hired as police chief in Regina, Saskatchewan. Turned out as I expected: fired for cause with no payout or pension. He was found : discredible conduct and interference.

He doesn’t really sound very English to be fair….

D.

part german, part greek, named after a castle, friends with a sex trafficker and lives on pepper corn rent from his big bro?

D.

Clue: a name that is English. A name that is Arabic is not English.
Let me know if you need any further help e.g. with telling the difference between an apple and a banana.

Like Beornheard or Wulfric or something?

Anyone who has to ask or seeks to debate what Englishness or Britishness is bears responsibility for the fracturing and polarisation of the country over the past couple of decades.
One cannot simply move to a new country for 5 years, pay a small fee and then magically become British (and the same applies anywhere else).
Asking facile questions about Saxon names is not only stupid but misses the point entirely.

Excessive immigration has been a massive disaster and pretending that it isn't does nobody any good and does colossal and probably irrecoverable harm.

Robert Smith.

Robert Smith.

I'll give you Smith, but I'm pretty sure Robert is of German origin.

I think it was rather stupid of you to suggest that you could tell where someone was (or wasn't) born, simply by their name.

Splitting hairs, you know what I mean. I'm a Robert Smith, and as British as they come

So, you claim to be "British" despite the German origins of your name? Sound more like an immigrant, with a name like that! I'm not sure if you should be allowed to stay.

I couldn't care less where he was born.

Well, I've left it a little late to go, I should have followed my dream and gone to NZ 30 years ago and become a "Trout Bum"

Don't know why but the name "Biggus Dicus" popped into my head when I read this. (Made up name).

Would you like to bet this person does not have English origins?

Likely Somalian with the name.

I think that's quite disingenuous.

You knew exactly what the poster meant, but you chose to be passively confrontational in your response. I'm beginning to see a pattern to your posts recently, and many appear to be quite judgemental. Remember, 'just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right'. The same applies to self-righteousness

It ain’t that small a fee

 

[Dickie]

Article I read says he was previously with Alberta sheriffs department and had previously had senior leadership roles in the Met and West Midlands police departments.
