West Yorkshire Police fires the head of a hate-crime panel in Bradford after comments described Islamic terrorism as the “elephant in the room” following an attack on a synagogue. The available report says the force took the action after the remarks were made and circulated. It does not provide additional details on the panel’s role, the precise wording of the comments, or the formal reasons given for the dismissal beyond the reference to the Islam-related statement. The same source also alleges that the police force spends more than £1.4 million on “woke” roles, presenting this as part of a wider context around policing priorities, though no specific program titles, contracts, or breakdown of spending are included in the provided text. Overall, the information confirms the employment decision tied to the comments and references reported spending by the force, but it does not include corroborating figures or responses from the dismissed panel head, police management, or independent oversight in the excerpt provided.
