Miss Dick said she would not to be cowed by political correctness, adding that crime victims had told her they want to see police ‘get out there and do more’.That's some chutzpah, right there! I can only assume the interviewer began laughing incredulously at that point, forcing her to admit that maybe this was a tough one to swallow....
She admitted that officers probably did ‘slightly lose confidence’ and were ‘fearful they might get into trouble, or they might not be supported if they had a complaint’.Because they won't be. Since the rest of your interview was a desperate attempt not to name the elephant in the room, but to find other 'causes' to blame.
How about social media?
Scotland Yard commissioner Cressida Dick said gangs were using online platforms to glorify street violence and show off ‘with weapons’.No, not buying that? Hmmmm....
Hey, I've got it! It's that devil music they listen to, right?
Miss Dick also raised concerns about the violent undercurrent in some music, especially grime.
She warned that it could lead vulnerable youngsters to think it was ‘an admirable thing to be talking about violence and people perpetrating it’.Ah, they love that word 'vulnerable', don't they?
It's like watching an Easter pantomime...it's behind you, Ms Dick!!
ReplyDeleteWatch out Thames Water...are you adding something that causes lawlessness? After all, this appalling state of affairs couldn't be anything to do with zero police presence on the streets, could it?
Like most plod, Cressida, you are not so much a Dick as you are an a**hole.

Don't you want zero police presence Melvin? Or just when it suits you or on your terms? We are all fat,lazy and racist after all.
ReplyDeleteJaded
Fat, lazy and racist? You may well plead your least malevolent attributes are tolerable, Jaded. However your better side is eclipsed by a corrupt, cowardly and selfish core; a dishonest, lying nature and a psychotic tendency to murder unarmed victims.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Melvin.
ReplyDeleteJaded
I acknowledge an authentic April Fool as I am in no doubt that the concept is entirely your own, Jaded.

Stop and search, based on local intelligence, was stopped because of political correctness and knife crime goes up. What did these "experts" expect when, for every black person searched, you have to search 3 white males, a nun, 2 females over the age of 70, a Buddhist. and a member of the Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes. I specifically mentioned 'black person's because 90% (it may even be 100%) of knife crime in London is black, mainly, on black, which is why most of the investigations is done by Op Trident.
ReplyDeleteThe whinge by black community leaders that crime is rising because of the lack of opportunities for black youths. There are only so many gangsta rappers vacancies; there are only so many employers will to give a job to a London born person who can't speak English but uses a patois from an island or country they have never seen; there are only so many serve 've industries for males who insist on wearing their trousers where the waist is believed star, and there are only so many locally funded youth and community clubs which will continue to pay for the repairs of damage caused by gangs from neighbouring, but rival, blocks.
If there are no local opportunities, get off your areas, pull yourctroysers up, and go and loom for those opportunities. Educate yourself if you deliberately ignored the education provided for you. Jomo Kenyatta House or Cetawayo Towers is not the world. And most of all, stop blaming everyone else, especially whitey, for your own failures. Don't put the blame on the white culture of slavery. That was around thousands of years ago. More recently, who was it that ended slavery in the western world? White people. Who lives in the countries where slavery scroll endemic? Black people.
And Cressida, if you are reading this, or getting some functionary to do not for you, bring back intelligence based stop and search.

Damn this bloody auto correct or predictive text. Even when I correct it, it reverts to it's own language once I press 'send'. So make of it what you will. No prizes for figuring out what I meant to write.
ReplyDeletePenseivat
I note the entrenched Plod culture, Penise. Always blame God, man or machine for your own failures.
ReplyDeleteTo add to my last, but one, autocorrected, comment, it appears that the black community know quite well who is doing the stabbing and drive by shooting, but prefer to scream "something should be done" rather be seen as snitches to the filth. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

ReplyDeleteAnd as we now know, 'It's behind you, David Lammy!' :)
"What did these "experts" expect when, for every black person searched, you have to search 3 white males, a nun, 2 females over the age of 70, a Buddhist. and a member of the Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes."
Oh, I fully expect to be searched while in London now just to make up the numbers on her latest S&S 'crusade'.
