Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.
But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.
That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.
There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.
The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”
Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.
That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.
I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.
What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.
GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.
For those of you who don’t pay attention to hockey. This is Carter Hart. He was falsely accused of sexual assault. The judge didn’t find the accuser credible and acquitted Hart.
The media doesn’t think he deserves a fresh start, and North Carolina fans chanted “No means No” in Game one of the Stanley Cup Final.
Yet the media defends repeat violent offenders being released again and again from prison.
Make it make sense.
Exactly. Government misspending can occur because there is a decoupling of the action-consequences link. A violation of the most fundamental law of nature.
Oh look here’s a Labour MP spreading misinformation that Nigel Farage is a “danger to democracy”
Er … and then says misinformation needs to stop. She should start with herself.
Smearing political opponents as a danger to democracy is the actual danger to democracy 💣
The Bank of England says British heros are too “divisive” and “elitist” for Britain’s banknotes?
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
George Orwell
Reject this 💣
The Novak family made clear that the police got things wrong, and spelled out how with infinite dignity.
Police double-standards are an entirely legitimate subject for public debate.
As someone who 'took the knee' for the discredited BLM movement (which sought to abolish prisons and defund law enforcement) you are in no position to criticise anyone for politicising a death in police custody.
As a politician struggling to hold onto office you are entitled to play every card at your disposal.
But this is amoral and grotesque.
“You’re whipping up division over the tragic death of Henry Nowak.”
Perhaps it was the racist murderer, his racist family, and the racist police backed by racist politicians who are guilty of whipping up division by causing the problem in the first place?
“You must not divide us!”
Screams the Left as they divide everyone up in terms of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, pronouns, Palestine, and anything else their vicious little minds can dream up.
"You are not likely to see Henry Nowak’s words stenciled on a mural. No corporation will change its logo. The same establishment that made a few words immortal when spoken by a black man in Minneapolis has met the same words, spoken by a white boy dying on a British street, with what can only be described as a determined, institutional silence. That silence is not neutral. It is a statement. It tells you exactly whose suffering the system has decided counts, and whose does not."
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.
Economic Marxism: If the poor are to rise, then the rich must fall.
Cultural Marxism: If minorities are to receive equality, natives must receive inequality.
This zero-sum mindset of the Left is killing us all.
The problem isn’t people getting rich.
The problem is people getting rich through lifelong careers in politics and through lavish public sector pay schemes.
🇬🇧Decades of under-funding the police and forcing them to focus on the wrong things.
🇬🇧Decades of school discipline decline.
🇬🇧Decades of mass migration of penniless people from deprived countries without our long history of law-abiding.
🇬🇧Decades of a broken judicial system and a desperate need for penal reform.
🇬🇧.. followed by a 'pandemic' that normalised state snooping and an erosion of privacy. 💉
Now all innocent people must be subjected to this disgusting over reach of the surveillance state.
The guilty will wear masks.
As per the warnings of @BigBrotherWatch , no other European country or western democracy does this.
I understand how it might look appealing, especially to police officers who will sit in a van rather than doing good community policing with local intelligence.
But we have never had more cctv cameras and we have never had more crime going unsolved. Work it out.
Oh and comments switched off...... we are being run by dictators who think we are thick and unworthy of freedom.
‼️I am staggered at this post from a PM who has watched hate filled matches on our streets every week for 2 years. And has never spoken like this.
Today, he labels every single person in this country, black, white and all shades in between, who are concerned about social cohesion and cultural erosion, as Racist and thugs.
It is unforgivable 🚨
