Only a couple of months ago we had police searching shopping bags for Easter eggs.
Now they are battling thousands of protesters and rioters across the country. In the middle of a pandemic!
No demonstrations should have been allowed to take place and any attack of a member of the emergency services should be given a mandatory five-year prison sentence. End of.
On the wider issue of racism we had the leader of the opposition, Sir Kier Starmer (‘Don’t call me Sir’), taking the bending knee in a literal piece of political posturing. ALL racism is wrong.
Every sane person wants community cohesion.
Strange I never heard him of comment on the abuse of white girls by men of Pakistan and Bangladesh descent, which was rampant across the towns of Northern England.
That’s what I have a problem with. Not all racism is wrong, apparently.
I’ve heard the term ‘white privilege’ bandied over the airwaves in recent days.
It took the police four years to catch a gang of black men who were throttling women until they passed out as they walked their children to school in London, then stealing their jewellery in front of the screaming kids.
All were traumatised and one lady needed surgery.
It would be interesting to hear one of these victims perspective on ‘white privilege’.
Don’t hold your breath… ps Kingston On Thames Crown Court, the gang got sentences of 11 years.
