Shorter Jason Okundaye: 'Stop Noticing! '

Yes, of course it’s the modern way, blame technology so you don’t have to concentrate on the people using it anf what they are using it for... 

That quandary has been sharpened by something that has quietly become a regular fixture of social media: members of the public are now consistently fed a stream of exceptional images and videos that once might have only been seen by investigators or from the inside of a courtroom. It is so regular that it has become banalised, whether it’s of robbers smashing up a jewellery shop, or of extreme and graphic assaults akin to snuff films.

Much of this is broadcast in real time from the phones of bystanders. That includes the horrific footage out of Belfast this week, of a Sudanese refugee alleged to have carried out a knife attack on a white man, gleefully circulated on X by the likes of far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Circulated by everyone- they can’t all have been ‘right wing’, can they? 

Considerations of the decency of sharing such footage, of how the circulation of graphic, violent crime images can indignify and rob victims of bodily agency, are nullified by what are considered greater political priorities: to identify and profile the ethnic violence that is supposedly tearing the fabric of the nation.

Did the same appeal to 'decency' not apply to the death of George Floyd? Seems I saw that video everywhere.

It has perfectly landed within a pre-existing online visual language that has, for some time, cast the United Kingdom as in decline, and besieged by “invaders”, with ordinary white people betrayed by the state that was meant to protect and privilege them.

And is that so far from the truth? 

Where responsible politicians would not so casually circulate such violent imagery, the likes of Reform UK’s Nigel Farage and Restore Britain’s Rupert Lowe say, come, Britain, come and see how you have been betrayed by the state. It echoes the conviction of Enoch Powell, when he said, in 1968, that allowing a growing immigration population “is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre”.

He was absolitely right, and his predictions are being proved more right every day! Certainly, the recent case of Henry Nowak proved whose hand is now holding the whip, thanks to the weakness of our hopelessly compromised police force.

Starmer’s national telling-off in response to the Belfast racist rioters targeting people “because of their background” and his appeal for “calm” – even though palpably correct – cannot meet or subdue the angered and visceral response from those who view that image of a black suspect over the stricken body of a white man, and see it as the loss of their dominion.

We've heard all we care to about 'not looking back in anger' from this failed PM, we have all noted how he rushed to condemn the recent stabbings in Edinburgh and even to ascribe a motive, while urging caution in smilar attacks by muslims 'to allow the law to take its course'.

The man's a despicable liar and anti-white to his core, and we are well rid of him.
