@whitesundesert @paultrowntree Engagement with online Plod is always a depressing experience: that combination of sanctimonious pomposity and stupidity is never far below the surface.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

This has certainly been a week when the number of people who think British police officers are hostile shits, whom you should neither trust nor assist, has risen considerably.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@MInthenow70635 @MacaesBruno The sort of poisonous attitude I would expect from him.

[Tim Newman @whitesundesert]

A point worthy of amplification.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

“Democracy” here being used as an alternative to “the regime”. And the only reason the regime is not banning X in the UK is because it is fearful of the backlash from Washington if it does so.

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

Elon Musk has clearly been a threat to democracy in the UK for some time, his algorithm is like a virus at the heart of our body politik, so the PM’s criticism of him is well merited.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@timothy_stanley The regime wants you to feel 'satisfied' the police are bringing critical race theory to everyday situations with which they deal. As long as this only negatively affects white people, 'satisfied' is the correct response.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@lukejcr @Nigel_Farage @GBNEWS Absolutely disgusting. The contempt you feel for ordinary white people is palpable. If the police victim had been black, you would have been screeching about it from the rooftops. Fuck off.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

Yes, the House uniting .... against the British public and in support of the regime's paramilitary stormtroopers.

[LBC @LBC]

'There was a sense of the House uniting...then Nigel Farage opened his mouth.'

@MsAlisonHume describes the mood in Parliament during PMQs today.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@paultrowntree Yes, a lot of people now don't much care for the police, although the official media narrative is always careful to avoid saying it.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@eff_mr6862 Thank you; I shall read with interest.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

We live in a country where a lot of people will now welcome violence against the police. But the regime’s media can never admit that, of course.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Has a single senior member of Reform condemned last night’s violence against the police.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@RupertLowe10 Yes, the time for attacking the police will come after regime change, when the guilty officers will be identified, prosecuted and jailed for their crimes.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

No. It's not "genuinely bizarre" at all. On the contrary, it was perfectly understandable and absolutely necessary, in order to give effect to the huge social changes which the regime wanted to introduce. Forcing the police to adhere to the regime's agenda is critical.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

It is genuinely bizarre that UK has a College of Policing that teaches Critical Race Theory and other identity bollocks to aspiring coppers.
It’s a cult. No common sense. Zero humanity.
It left Henry to die.
Urgently need to go back to without fear or favour policing

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@NoFarmsNoFoods @JamesMelville You are kidding yourself if you think the state bureaucracy has any intention whatsoever of dealing with or otherwise helping local farmers. It wants you shut down and placed in the hands of multinational food corporations who will happily work with the state agenda.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

A good analysis of the ugly political policing we are dealing with. And why, if you are white, you should never, ever trust a police officer.

A Furore That Was Whipped Up. That Is What Alexis Boon Called It.

Henry Nowak died in handcuffs on a Southampton street. The Prime Minister said he felt sick watching the body cam footage. The Commons Speaker ordered the government to make a statement. The chief constable of the force responsible described the national outcry as a furore that had been whipped up.

Alexis Boon, chief constable of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, spoke publicly for the first time today. He apologised for his officers handcuffing and arresting Henry. He said Henry could not be saved. He said his force had been subjected to unfair criticism. He said he does not accept the term two tier policing and does not recognise it. He will not resign.

The University of Reading evaluated Hampshire's mandatory Inclusion Matters diversity course, completed by 6,250 officers and staff. The findings were published by the force itself. Nearly twenty percent of officers said they felt they would have been rejected for saying the wrong thing during the training. Nearly fifteen percent said that if they made a mistake it would have been held against them. Fifteen and a half percent felt controlled and pressured to be certain ways. The University noted that individuals who did not respond well to the course may benefit from further intervention, monitoring or coaching.

Read that final observation carefully. Officers who retained their own judgment during diversity training were to be monitored, further intervened upon and coached until they responded correctly. The training was not designed to inform. It was designed to condition. Hampshire's own commissioned research documents that conditioning precisely.

The Metropolitan Police has gone further. It commissioned HR consultant Shereen Daniels to write a structural review of systemic racism within the force titled 30 Patterns of Harm. The Metropolitan Police described it as a key document in its race action plan. In a section on neutrality Daniels writes that neutrality is not neutral. That it reflects dominant norms, particularly whiteness. That claiming neutrality is claiming distance from bias but that distance is not real. That neutrality is a myth. The Metropolitan Police told its officers they could not be neutral because of their whiteness.

Officers trained that neutrality is a myth, that their own whiteness prevents impartiality and that failing to respond well to diversity training would result in monitoring and coaching arrived at the scene where Henry Nowak lay dying. They were not neutral. They had been trained not to be.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said policing had been infected by an extremist ideology that calls itself anti-racism but is in fact racist itself because it urges ethnic minorities to be treated more leniently. He said the doctrine is enshrined as official police policy and in his view contributed to officers prioritising the allegation of racism above saving a young man's life.

That is the argument Alexis Boon refuses to engage with. He apologised for the handcuffs. He described the outcry as a furore. He said he would not resign. He did not address the Inclusion Matters course whose own evaluation shows officers were afraid to say the wrong thing. He did not address the neutrality document that told his officers their whiteness prevents impartiality. He did not address the training that the University of Reading documented and that his force commissioned.

Henry Nowak is not a furore. He is an eighteen year old boy who died in handcuffs on a Southampton street while his killer chose his food in a police kitchen. The furore is the appropriate response to that. The chief constable who cannot see the difference has not understood the question.

"Alexis Boon said his force had been subjected to unfair criticism. He said he does not accept the term two tier policing and does not recognise it. He will not resign."

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

There is never a good time for free speech in Britain because the law does not protect or even recognise free speech and the British government, whose instincts are always to censor, is perfectly happy with that state of affairs.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

It's a bad time for free speech in Britain. Two controversial American left-wing influencers have had their visas blocked by the British government after being deemed not “conducive to the public good”. Sacha Nauta, The Economist’s Britain editor, explains why this is a bad look for a country that sees itself as the birthplace of free speech. Read why such governmental power should be used sparingly: https://t.co/fS0nkCpZaP

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@RyanMullarkey1 @El_Capitan_Cook It’s all shades of grey, designed to get the people to say what they want them to say or, failing that, to keep quiet.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

You can certainly see the naive fools on here at the moment, the ones who really think Henry Nowak’s family weren’t put up to push the ‘let’s teach the world to sing in perfect harmony’ nonsense by a cynical, bullying state. Many of the same clowns who thought walking one-way down a supermarket aisle in 2020 would prevent them from getting an airborne virus.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@El_Capitan_Cook @RyanMullarkey1 You know it. They are coerced and incentivised to say what the state wants and permits them to say. For the regime, it’s important news management.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@MiddleSeaSailor @JChimirie66677 Getting rid of the woke goons will see essentially every officer above the lower ranks kicked out, because he or she will not have been promoted in the first place had he or she not demonstrated great loyalty to the woke Marxist agenda.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@francesweetman Dan Hodges misses the points he is paid to miss. He knows what’s going on here but his position and salary depend on him not knowing.

[The City Dissident @EC2man]

@BurnsideWasTosh Yes. The idea that the disaster that is modern Britain has nothing to do with the electorate and its choices is one that an awful lot of people cling to, even though it is nonsense. Few are willing to point the finger at themselves.
