Fraud investigator 'was sacked for being white

CinemaGuy45

Mark Edmunds, 54, is suing for £529,000 in a race and sex discrimination case
Claims he was sacked by London borough of Tower Hamlets because of his skin
His investigations saw 12 Asian men sacked for part in rigging 2014 local election.

The council has been plagued by problems of corruption and alleged mismanagement.

He joined the council in January 2010 and helped successfully host the Olympics before moving into fraud investigation.

Britain's first Muslim mayor, Lutfur Rahman, had won control of Tower Hamlets in October 2010 but was removed by a court for rigging his 2014 re-election.

In 2018, the Met police said it had not found enough evidence to charge anyone after a £1.7million year-long inquiry into alleged fraud during the mayoral election.

Ireland is not far behind it is a case of put up and shut up.
Sure he was just a white man who cares right?

Better not mention this story or complain about it he the liberal haters will call you racist.

Reminiscent of the ‘asian’ grooming gangs and the relevant authorities in the Uk being too afraid to investigate for fear of being accused of racism.

You forgot 'claims' in your title.

If it's as he claims, I hope he wins

Well if he says that’s the reason give him his £529k. No need to prove anything.

OP your post if full of hyperbole particular in your references to Ireland.

To me the man in question seems to have been punished for being a whistle blower. Which while being unfair is injustice of another type.

Labeling all liberals with one brush is hardly fair.

I have no doubt being a whistle blower is well not easy. I seriously doubt they would have liked him accusing people of corruption more had he been brown though would they?

I really don't see why this was posted?

Edit: Oh, I see OP flounced out of boards.

The real point is a fraud investigator was punished for doing his job.

Sadly he brought race into it and diminished a rather important issue of being punished for pointing out corruption.

Is it just me or are the peddlers of outrage just putting in ever-decreasing amounts of effort?

Not just you I have noticed too. Less posts and more of a defeatist attitude.

In fairness though, we are in an age where an accusation in itself is increasingly becoming sufficient evidence.
