As a gay man, I can't understand why on earth any new scheme aimed at helping link minority groups and the police should choose Nick Ross to launch its project.
Mr Ross may be very good at presenting his TV show but does he really understand what being gay or black and being beaten up in the street is like?
Hobnobbing with a famous face is a distraction to the safety issues our community faces on a daily basis.
It's a shame, too, to have chosen to waste so much money on bringing him here - surely it would have been better spent on getting the police out on the street?
