Bergen: Ban on rain coats for police officers suggested!

Reader comment on item: The 751 No-Go Zones of France
in response to reader comment: what next?

Submitted by Mysil Bergsprekken (Norway), Feb 2, 2010 at 18:07

"Once again, Britain is showing its weakness in this era of silly and unnecessary political correctness, by giving in to these groups of people (who are they?) who would be offended by military uniforms."

Even less believeable as well as more horryfying things happens. Some months ago, I read that a Muslim who sits in the city council of Bergen, Hordaland county had advocated a ban for policemen wearing raincoats. A fortiori: As you probably do not know, Bergen is infamous for its especially rainy weather.

Note: Unfortunately, this is NOT a joke.
