and should be exposed as such.
Left to themselves, these cases may well never have got anywhere near a court precisely because the police were scared that they were too politically sensitive and they were terrified of being accused of racism. Ann Cryer, the Labour MP for Rochdale, said exactly that about the Rochdale case.
So where do you think that terror of accusations of racism came from exactly?
impossibility of saying what needs to be said or doing what needs to be done. That was inevitable and needs to be addressed, but I fear it's too deeply rooted.
c'mon, b, this **** is beneath you, surely.
I'm sure race was a factor but I'll wager many people whose leanings are to the left, including me, would agree with you that it shouldn't have been.
It also completely ignores the whole idea that the police just didnt give a f**k, which is far more likely a pressing motivation.
teaching, academia, the media, etc, etc, etc. THAT F*CKING 'LEFT'.
And saying it shouldn't have happened isn't good enough, I'm afraid. Responsibilities need to be faced. Every c**t who's ever asked someone to 'check their privilege' or laughed at 'Muslamic Rayguns' needs to take a long, hard look in the f**king mirror and acknowledge their culpability in creating this disgusting mess.
And to think you mock owen jones and his mates for doing the exact same thing on the other side of the coin on a pretty much daily basis.
I've worked for the civil service and with local government and to say it's rammed with the red wedge is just ridiculous. Yes there's a touchy feely *******s culture around stuff like 'dievrsity' but to suggest they have the power to stop police doing their job is quite frankly *******s.
In short, it might be part of the problem but to say it's THE problem is madness.
that is to blame. It doesn't have to be active. Indeed, the passive acceptance of a culture wherein racism is the ultimate thought crime to be avoided at all costs is exactly the problem. Touchy-feely bull**** about 'diversity' (usually meaning the preference of cultural and ethnic difference over the cultural and ethnic norm) is just one manifestation of the whole thing. And because that culture is imposed across the board and even enshrined in law in places, yes it does and has prevented the police from doing their jobs. The police know that the accusation of racism against them is a dog whistle for the critical mass of institutional forces of the apparently soft left to be immediately arrayed against them and potentially destroy their careers. So they run scared of it.
Well this is where it's got us.
...and then make a mess of fabricating a flimsy case against him knowing they'll be backed up by the courts and exonerated on all counts. But they are, at the same time, too scared to bring against an organised gang of *****philes from what is essentially the same culture who have been vilified and called terrorists for the last decade?
Call me a doubting Thomas here but something doesn't quite add up.
Fwiw, I agree with a lot of what you say about this diversity crap being just that, and I've had first hand experience of being actively discriminated against because I was a white male, but it's madness to lay the whole blame at the feet of a tiny, tiny part of society like your Harpersons and the gang.
If the police are too scared to do their job, and that's a pretty big if, then we need to ask questions about their lack of balls in this specific case, not let them off scott free and blame an amorphous mass fabricated largely by right wing tabloid hysteria.
political pressures applying to it. Completely different racial and cultural question, completely different city, completely different police force. Not relevant at all. Oh, and you're bringing your bias to the questions related to that case, but that's not really relevant either.
And yes, we do need to address this issue of why they're too scared to act. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. But it needs to be addressed in terms of why that fear exists in the first place. And that question takes some real courage to answer.
The left is not dreamed up by tabloids, j. It pervades everything in this country. Remember, the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing us he didn't exist.
