What An Unholy Alliance…

…Doreen Lawrence and ‘Sir’ Ian Blair, united in condemnation of, well, who else?
… she said her aim now was to continue the fight for justice for all black people, adding that the past 19 years "has not been about me, it's been a vehicle for change and not accepting the negative stereotyping that has blighted people of colour. Opportunity and justice is for everyone". Mrs Lawrence was speaking at the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust Criminal Justice Lecture in London. Former Met Commissioner Lord Blair delivered the inaugural lecture in which he criticised the Government's failure to pursue race equality properly.
Well, love, if it’s ‘negative stereotyping’ you’re worried about, look no further than the people appearing in the pages of this very newspaper.

Perhaps you should be lecturing them, not everyone else?
He said ministers had "hardly addressed the issue of racial inequality" since taking power and that the "current climate" seemed "very unfavourable" to tackling "structural injustices" in society.

He said problems would be increased by the economic slowdown, in which Afro-Caribbeans would be among the hardest hit, and warned that the gulf between rich and poor was "becoming an issue of deep social concern".
Oh, noes! Women and children ethnic minorities hardest hit!

Maybe you’d like to ask yourself, if ‘racism’ is at the heart of this failure to achieve things in the Afro-Caribbean community, why it doesn’t seem that way for the Indian/Chinese/Vietnamese families too?

Aren’t we ‘racist’ towards them as well?
Lord Blair also criticised the failure to establish a judicial inquiry into last summer's riots and described ministers' claim that the disorder was caused by criminality as a "seriously inadequate" explanation.
Well, as already exhaustively pointed out, it certainly wasn’t because they were ‘poor and out of work’, was it? In fact, most were known and previously-convicted criminals!

Good grief, can you just get up and say any old flannel at these sort of talks? Does no-one ever point out you’re talking utter bollocks?

Can so many people’s silence on the facts be bought for a glass of sub-standard plonk and a prawn vol-au-vent?
He also warned that the abolition of the Metropolitan Police Authority and placing sole control of the police in the hands of the Mayor raised concerns about how adequately race issues would be pursued in future.
Christ, I shouldn’t worry about that!

If this example is anything to go by, then these racemongers are dug in like ticks, and harder to dislodge no matter who’s bum is currently occupying the seats in 10 Downing Street or the Home office.

And there’s always plenty waiting in the wings to join them. How else to get ahead? Not through hard work, that’s for sure…
He added: "So while there is hope, there is a long way to go. Worse we, those committed to justice, also have to accept that the current climate has some aspects which seem very unfavourable to the righting of the very structural injustices which the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust was set up to fight."
Translation: “No-one’s listening to meeeeeeeeee anymore!”

Good. You were s**t at the job of Met Commissioner and now you’re an irrelevance. Take the title thrown to you by the outgoing Labour administration and sod off!

Take Doreen with you. Her five minutes of fame ran out years ago...

JuliaM I am sure you have been to these things but the answers, as well you know are..... YES...and ....NO. And especially if you are from a minority. The shite spouted is torrential.

As for Blair - your summing up was spot on. I just wish he'd eff off.

Remind me who keeps shooting young black men in London? Oh yes.....other young black men. No stereotyping there.

Apologies for the pointless post but I am getting a little frustrated with having constant obstacles put in my way when I am attempting to post comments.

the Met couldn't get pass the murder of constable Blakelock, Not sure what pass means, maybe it means over,As in the black community on the farm who Hindered the police murder Investigation and have Hid the killers ,denied Blakelock was racsitly murdered despite the fact that orignially the rioters were trying to kill White firemen and ambulance drivers, describing the killing as self defence, orchestrated the riot from the Council funded Youth lub, who during the day were syphaning petrol and collecting milk bottles ,for Petrol bobms and had weapon dumps. That community have often said they've moved on as in they say they've got pass it it or over it, Yet they they still feel it was alright to hide the killers hinder the investigation, and deny he was racistly murderered or their community orrchestrated the riot, So If as Blair say's The Met felt it dificult to get pass it, maybe they did judge all of Black London in the same light as The Murderers and their Friends who have hid them and described their actions as self defence, Maybe the Police only consider the Black peole of the Farm in that light, but why should the Police be able to get 'pass' this event, should they have now felt that it was right for the Black community on the farm to hide killers hold them up as heroes, Hinder the police investiagtion and turn a blind eye to the fac the Youth club orchestrated it. teh Locals on the farm say they moved pass it, Yet I'v never heard one of them say It was wrong of them to hide the killers,pervert the cause of justice when they hindered the investigation, or champion them or hold them up as Heroes and that it was alright for the locals on the Farm to say that it was wrong of them to deny he was racistly killed

"THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE"

Should that not be "The fight for justice for ALL people" ????

Funny how certain minorities don't see beyond their own cause.

British Police Service...pandering to the vocal extremists in an effort to appease. Didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with these.

It is not about black v white or muslim v christian.....it is always aboout good v evil. Mrs Lawrence is not looking and seeking for good to prevail for all....just her own kind. That is a damn shame.

It is difficult to describe the contempt Blair was held in by ordinary PC's like me when he was in charge of us.

Captain Haddock said...

Could it possibly be that someone is lining up St Doreen of Lawrence for a Peerage ?

With that strutting little turkey-cock Blair acting as one of her proposers/supporters ?

Spot on Julia - poor Stephen was a victim of police bungling not racism. (ACO)

I never worked for a good CC Jaded - but Blair was a total toad. I loathe racist crap but the 'cure' of the PC toadies is worse than the disease. Racism is most rife amongst minorities and the likes of Blair.

JuliaM said...

"JuliaM I am sure you have been to these things.."

Luckily, no!

"Remind me who keeps shooting young black men in London? Oh yes.....other young black men."

Precisely, and yet they are STILL banging on and on about reducing stop and search.

"Meanwhile over at Reading Employment Tribunal..."

ARGH! Make it STOP!

"Apologies for the pointless post but I am getting a little frustrated with having constant obstacles put in my way when I am attempting to post comments."

Yeah, I finally had enough of it myself! It's gone until Blogger sort it out.

JuliaM said...

" That community have often said they've moved on..."

Well, they've 'moved on' in the sense they now mostly kill their own.

"Should that not be "The fight for justice for ALL people" ????"

Occasionally, the mask slips. And the great and good smile politely, and refuse to draw attention to it.

It's the British thing to do, it seems.

"Could it possibly be that someone is lining up St Doreen of Lawrence for a Peerage ?"

I think it's inevitable.

"I loathe racist crap but the 'cure' of the PC toadies is worse than the disease."

It's meant to prolong the disease, not cure it. Otherwise these people would have to work for a living!

I think you'll find that myth has been debunked by the Civitas report,although the myth has served its purpose so it hardly matters to the race hustlers.

I'd have one iota of respect for Old Dor if she ever spoke up for a victim of the thugs who share the same ethnic grouping as she. But she doesn't and so I don't.

I am getting so sick of Doreen bloody Lawrence and her self publicising,when will the parents of Gavin Hopley,Charlene Downs,Kriss Donald,Richard Everitt et al get their memorials for their murdered children?
Or is it that the race killing of white people doesnt count?

johnpaul said...

the police had Dificulty getting past the murder of P.C Blakelock ,One day something had to change that the Mcpherson report, So Ian Blair feels this report has resulted in the Met getting past it?, I don't know one Police officer who doesn't feel the Investiagtion shouldn't continue, and the way to get past it, is to find his Killers, maybe the reason the met has had dificulty getting past it, is the people on the estate have hid the killers for 26 years and the local Black community on Haringey council enocuraged them to do this with A string of anti white racist comments ,or Maybe Ian Blair feels geting past it is something that should happen by saying how good he was At race relations and not acknowledge the Attitude of thos eon haringey Council all those years ago, and not acknowledge that the locals have hid the killers, well Balir may feel that, but the rest of the Police dont' hold his convictions.
