> * Police in Gloucester, England, have begun going undercover in local restaurants, eavesdropping on diners to make sure they don't say anything racist about their fellow customers or the staff.

"The constabulary is now taking a proactive stance in relation to racist offenses rather than waiting for people to report them to us."
