What’s particularly jarring with the discourse on hierarchies of racism (and has been for years) is how commentators, politicians, etc to a man have no ideological basis. They’re just ambulance chasers
No shit, obviously you’re more likely to be abused/ targeted if you aren’t white?? It’s embarrassing. Doesn’t it harm the soul to day by day prostitute your capacity for critical thought in service of some fabricated controversy that will pass in a week.
Rajiv Menon was my barrister when I appeared before the Tribunal investigating police surveillance of left and women's groups. His opening speech was brilliant. He is on of this country's most gifted barristers, a descendant of Mike Mansfield. His prosecution is an appalling instance of some judges prostrating themselves before the needs of the state as they did a number of times against Irish and Muslim prisoners. One hope they might have learnt from how they treated the Irish. Doesn't seem to be the case.
The lead barrister in the first Filton24 trial is being prosecuted for contempt of court for successfully defending his client, Charlotte Head.

@DillyHussain88@TiceRichard How's that Muslim rape gang inquiry working out for you, Dilly? Interviewing a royal, for work, fairly tame compared to the systemic mass rapes carried out by members of your hallowed community so I'd get back in your box if I were you.
