Nottingham

a dreary town in the even drearier east midlands whose only claim to fame is the non-existent 'outlaw' Robin Hood who was a victorian work of fiction came from nearby. Every where you look there its robin hood this robin hood that and yes, you've guessed it robin hood the other.
everyone in nottingham is proud of a non-existant person because they bizarely think tourists will want to go there.

institutionally racist

what an official government report stated the metropolitan police is , in other words that racism is endemic, in all ranks and areas of the organisation, and the the so called decent officers (sic) are unwilling to speak out, therefore making them just as guilty.
some people don't like it, and will threaten you when you say it, but that the met is a disgrace is way beyond doubt.

Death in custody

What happens to black people after they've been arrested by the metropolitan police but even when an inquest records a verdict of unlawful killing, no policemen are ever convicted (because criminal charges are assesed based on evidence gathered by, you've guessed it...the police!)
'sarge, I just beat a nigger to death in the cells. But he had it coming, he was giving me lip. Or he would have done if I hadn't hit him first, you know what they are like'

'don't worry son, I'll have to gather the evidence myself and of course i won't find any *wink wink* and of course there were no witnesses in this busy police station were there'

DWB

Driving While Black.

The metropolitan police and other UK police forces will often try to arrest any black motorists, especially those driving expensive cars, for no good reason other than the colour of the driver's skin.

A motorist in Birmingam (England, not Alabama, but the attitudes are the same) was stopped for DWB ***35*** times in a year, and not once did he have as much as a faulty brake light. He did not break any speed limits and his car was in perfect order.

This is yet another example of the police being institutionally racist but nothing is ever done about it.
'Look sarge there's a nigger driving a sports car, I bet he stole it, thieving bastards the lot of them. And the bastard has got a white women in the passenger seat it ain't right is it'

'You know what to do son, pull him over for 'driving erratically' and plant some drugs in the glove compartment'
