Well I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that after centuries of oppression by whitey, black people are entitled to respond with belligerance and aggression.Quote:

Might also be useful to see what percentage of those arrested in each ethnic group suffered use of force. It might turn out that police are actually less likely to use force against a black person; they are just more likely to nick them and therefore they account for more incidents. A very different issue.Quote:

I am not terribly popular in Labour circles after the whole Blair/wars/Corbyn business. I may have said a couple of silly things at silly moments.Quote:

I'm a big fan of the southern gennerman, h. Indeed, I am privileged to know such a chap and wallow in his old world southern charm. I met him when he walked up next to me at a bar and said, "Bartender, give me a drink to wash away this taste of respectability."Quote:

That would suit. Yes sirree.
