Whatever you believe about the politics of this account, let me make one thing clear: I am first and foremost a Groucho Marxist.
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
@Notoriouz_Boxer We won’t agree on this. I have no animus against Sikhs, but the blade was used. A boy died. My ancient rights in my own land have been stripped by the authorities, whilst the rights of those who came a few decades ago have been written into law. It isn’t just and it won’t stand.
@Notoriouz_Boxer I have criticised neither particularly. I have used an argument ad absurdum to highlight unequal treatment under the law. I don’t expect you to agree, but we are not going to convince each other.
@Notoriouz_Boxer You reference Said, whilst simultaneously appealing to our Imperial bonds. We are bound together by our glorious past or we are subjugators to be hated? Which is it?
The short Kipling poem has nothing to do with Empire btw, it is about the character of the English.
@Notoriouz_Boxer For your appeals to Imperial fealty, I don’t think you actually understand us very well. I suggest you read Kipling’s Norman and Saxon.
@Notoriouz_Boxer He remains a Sikh. There has been no formal ex-communication, if such a thing is possible.
His community knew he was a pathological liar with anger issues. Why should the public be exposed to potential lunatics with blades, but not prisoners or prison officers?
@matthew_waters So? It is his religious duty to carry it. Muslims get halal food in prison. So why would he be prevented from carrying his blade, as his religion demands? Try to answer this time without recourse to dialogue from a straight-to-streaming Danny Dyer movie.
@TimesRadio@gilescoren Yeah, they do have woke manuals actually. Many, many woke manuals…and PowerPoints…and training sessions…and “networks”.
Stop talking shit.
