I massoni chiedono un’ingiunzione contro la politica del Met che impone agli ufficiali di dichiarare l’appartenenza

Ok so they “claim the Met’s policy amounts to “religious discrimination” against Freemasons who are also police officers”… but freemasonry isn’t a _religion_ .. my dad was one and as kids my sister & I had a tour of a lodge, apparently they can be used for services like marriages but not for any specific religion and they had members from several religions

The Met apparently stated in December that officers have to declare any membership to any “hierarchical organisation that requires members to support and protect each other” which absolutely is how my dad described the masons over about 20+ years, so I’m stunned this is a new rule!

The Freemasons and the police station were in the same building in the town I grew up in.

I’d not let the police be in any kind of secretive society, it seems obviously dodgy.
