Does the guardian have anyone who understands what pay gap calculations mean rather than the emotional bs .

Your stories about the 'pay gap' are misleading nonsense to start with... But why illustrate it with a picture of a police officer? In policing, unlike most businesses (such as, say, media) there is no discretion on pay - all are paid EXACTLY the same for the same role/location.

Police officers get paid the same, consistent with rank and service. They are not paid less based on skin colour. Seems to be as much bullshit in the Guardian as the Daily Fail.

citationneeded Surely if the study you quote is accurate enough there'd be no need to force firms to publish figures. Ite either reliable or it isn't. Also, what's the pay gap between minority ethnic and indigenous white shopkeepers in the UK?

HackneyAbbott But they don't lose it, they just happen to earn that much less. Surely, if people can employ blacks for lower amounts, there would be little to no black unemployment.

HackneyAbbott Perhaps they are only employed because they are cheap labour

Chief Constable Mike Fuller was developed by the Met Police from a 16 yr old with no qualifications to a sponsored degree and reaching this senior post that later qualified him to be the Inspector of the Crown Prosecution Service. He was paid top wack in every police job.

You fail to mention there is NO gender pay gap in the police. Misleading and inappropriate photo. That officer retired years ago. A BME Chief Constable. Idiots

Frantic virtue signalling from the Guardian in attempts to fan those flames of division and set everyone against each other on every level. And using a pic of police to try and make it worse - knowing their payscales apply across the board regardless of colour or gender. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

What a load of shit...and you use a pic of Police officers.(!) The 'Mass Brainwashing' perpetuated by your news outlet is staggering. Find NEWS, not some fools 'views'. And stop the misleading tripe. Smh. The question is: 'what is The Guardian?'

More bollox from the Guardian, which fails to understand the ' gender pay gap' ,or rather, fails to explain its understanding- whatever it is.

HackneyAbbott And then this is not up pressing to the BME

Absolute lies, Police pay is the same for all, regardless of race, if at the same pay point. Which by the way has taken a 20% decrease in real terms over the past 10 years due you folk on the Mainland voting for the Tories.

No doubt the HSA is PCC driven drivel..

HackneyAbbott

HackneyAbbott More guardian rubbish

Bit confused why you've used the police as a picture to this story? Police use set pay scales that can't discriminate between sex / race. Are you purposefully misleading your readers?

What a load of bollocks all police officers get paid the same regardless of gender or race !!! More “Fake news “

“Stark differences in the police force”? What roles are you referring to? The police pay scales are applied to every officer while civilian staff also have role specific grades and pay. Are the ‘stark differences’ actually that there is no racial difference? Clarity required.

Why include a photo of a BME Police Officer. Especially as his salary will be higher that the two he is pictured with (combined)

Utter bollocks. The “Pay Gap” is engineered you utter buffoons. Look at the pay “gap” between Male/Female Midwives, for example. Your headline shows either your lack of knowledge, or hellbent intent to stir the pot. My money is on the latter.

This is ridiculous in this day and age ! This needs to change now!

Err, but not in the Police, you bunch of amateurs.

HackneyAbbott Great click bait photo.

This and the NHS study earlier this year, said the same thing. BAME candidates have to work harder, longer to achieve the same grades/positions, hence the wage gap. The pity is the economy loses out on the talent.

More starring of racial hatred from Guardian.

HackneyAbbott literally the only thing ive ever heard Dianne abott say 'because im black, and im a woman, and all the world's tragedies happen to me and blady blady blahhhh, '

The police couldn’t pay more equally. Wages are stated for each rank. Maybe show someone working in the City or a journalist?

Why the hell is a black police officer featured? Could it be a subliminal message that the 'racist' police service doesn't treat black officers fairly? This doesn't help recruitment & I don't know any serving or retired police officer who doesn't want to see more black cops

Not in policing. All are paid the same according to rank regardless of race. Unlike the private sector....

The real kicker here is that people born into low social status groups will earn less than the middle class. What do the middle class Guardian writers want to go about that, absolutely nothing because it’s not trendy.

Why use a picture of Police officers?

“After the successful steps taken to expose and tackle the gender pay gap in 2018' you mean the steps that proved that there was zero pay gap based on gender.

HackneyAbbott Tory voters are bad

HackneyAbbott It’s not fair I am a white male and Diane abbot gets paid more than me how is that fair I call racial discrimination

Michael Fuller QPM was Chief Constable of Kent between 06 and 2010... so this photo is potentially over 10yrs old. This is indeed a dirty little trick to pursue an anti police agenda. Why on earth otherwise would you use this old image.

HackneyAbbott Rubbish

Eh, why post a misleading headline using a picture of a police officer? Police in the UK are paid EXACTLY the same regardless of skin colour. More anti-police propaganda from the SH*T roll that is the Guardian...

Your stories about the 'pay gap' are misleading nonsense to start with... But why illustrate it with a picture of a police officer? In policing, unlike most businesses (such as, say, media) there is no discretion on pay - all are paid EXACTLY the same for the same role/location.

HackneyAbbott So why do we have equal opportunities laws?like a wallpaper?

HackneyAbbott I'm getting the sneaky suspicion that you may only worry about a certain group of people. 🤔

HackneyAbbott Booooorrrrrrrring!!!!!!!!

HackneyAbbott They are not 'losing' £3.2 billion, they are employed in jobs that pay £3.2 billion less. Is a cleaner losing £100k a year when compared to a doctor.

HackneyAbbott Now do working class whites versus privately educated bames. This is why people like Diane Abbott send their kids to private schools. Sack everyone from the police, bbc/media & govt who went to private school. Or open up educational achievements to the poor. Enough fake news

HackneyAbbott This gap only exists if you think that everyone should be paid the same regardless. That's Marxism in action.

HackneyAbbott There is no pay gap for equal work. All the minorities I work with get paid the same wage I do. This is a legal requirement. Stop lying.

HackneyAbbott Really who gives a monkey's!

HackneyAbbott Got to love a misleading virtue signalling headline. Worth remembering that drug dealers don't declare their earnings ..........

HackneyAbbott Oooo does that mean that a Yorkshireman living in Scotland.....I must be classed as the ethnic minority also, when do I get my parity on pay, but an ethnic minority adopted Scot and a yes voter

44%,of London's unemployed are black so its not always discrimination

Your definition of ethnic minorities seems biaised - can you explain why some Asian minorities were not included in this report?

O.K. But the BBC is reporting it as 'black and ethnic minorities'; how can Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis be ethnic minorities? There are 1.2 Billion of them and only 50 Million ethnic Celtic Britons. We are the global ethnic minority, and soon will be in our own land too.

The fact that certain groups actually out perform the 'native' white population is conveniently ignored.

Righto

So-called “blacks” (African Americans) are an ethnic minority — there is discrimination & favoritism in the USA, but compare people in the same jobs but also same age, same education level, same work experience to avoid mixing up apples & oranges

I’m happy at least for the fact that this survey was done. The UK in 2018 still keeps pushing towards an egalitarian society!

What's next - poor people lose 100 gazillion due to pay gap between them and rich people?

Anyone surprised?!!!!!

How would I apply for this rebate? The whites kept this quite! With Christmas and brexit £3.2 bil could bring me back into the black..... nice tan in Mallorca

And children born with cf lose average of 27 years life as Nhs won’t pay for medicine they need they would get in Europe Ireland and Scotland like my 5yo

Give it a rest....no one cares or believes you.

take your imaginary pay gap and stick it where the sun dont shine

No. No they don't

Yet more and more are risking their lives in little boats, ignoring safe countries, ignoring countries of the same culture and ethnicity, to come and join the evil white man. Someone should tell them.

Another imaginary pay gap. How adorable.

All a black or ethnic minority needs to do to succeed is out preform one more evil white person than I have to. All the same arguments as will women.

The land of the free and just...

pay gap or income gap?

I love how you lump ethnic minorities together so you don't have to point out that whites get paid less than many groups.
