Government’s the world over often do absurd things. It’s something government is especially good at. But this case of it in the UK really takes the cake. To every sleezy sue happy lawyer out there take note of this. I think this case could win here in the States to.
A BLACK police bodyguard who protected the Duchess of Cornwall has won $70,000 compensation after suing Scotland Yard for "over-promoting" him because of political correctness.Sgt Leslie Turner -- the first black personal protection officer to guard the royal family -- will receive the "racial discrimination" payout after reaching an out-of-court settlement with London's Metropolitan Police.
His representatives argued he landed the prestigious job as Camilla's bodyguard only because he was black.
It was claimed that as a result of being over-promoted and not receiving proper training and support, Sgt Turner made mistakes which led to him being re-assigned.
He launched legal proceedings against the force in October and Scotland Yard chiefs have agreed to pay "substantial" compensation -- understood to be about $70,000 -- to the married father of two.
We will be seeing a case or this Kind in the US someday. And I hope it is some day very very soon. But it gets even better.
Royal insiders stress that the decision to move him was not taken directly by Clarence House. But they concede that the race row is extremely embarrassing for Charles and Camilla.
Had Sgt Turner's case reached a tribunal, potentially embarrassing secrets about Charles and Camilla's lives may have been aired.
A Met spokesman refused to confirm the compensation deal.
So Chuckie here, a man known for trying to promote racial tolerance and understanding Happy talk on his mom’s Island ends up being caught in the kind of political snare he endorses as a matter of policy
Good…great…wonderful
