When Liberal Attitudes Kill...


The message here is 'They couldn't have known!'.
...Louella's parents — the actor John Michie, who plays neurosurgeon Guy Self in BBC hospital drama Holby City, and his partner, former Hot Gossip dancer Carol Fletcher — weren't unduly concerned.
Their bubbly, but sensible, yoga-instructor daughter might have experimented on occasion, but she had what they described as a 'cautious' and 'measured' attitude towards illegal substances.
Besides, Louella was with her boyfriend, aspiring musician Ceon Broughton, whom John and Carol had welcomed into their family over the course of his 15-month on-off relationship with Louella.
Broughton had spent Christmas at the Michies' £1.2 million home in North London, worked with Louella's brother Sam and had been a guest at John's 60th birthday dinner. There was no reason to believe he didn't have their daughter's best interests at heart.
Really?
...John and Carol were quick to defend him, despite their grief and rumours that Broughton — who had a previous conviction for supplying drugs — may be implicated in her death.
He had received a suspended sentence for two counts of carrying knives just a month earlier.
Yes, clearly they had no reason to suspect a drug-dealing rapper who carried knives...

But they aren't judgemental, so that should comfort them in their grief.

Let's not mention the massive elephant in the room. Very pretty white girl falls for a bad boy black drug dealer thug. Happens all the time. Great fun isn't it girls until the scumbag reverts back to type....???. Then the inevitable happens and everyone looks surprised .

When did "aspiring" become a euphemism for "idly dreaming about achieving x. Effortlessly"?

I bet the parents aren't surprised at all, deep down. I bet when their daughter brought that thing home every fibre of their being was screaming 'Nooooo!!' but being the good brain washed 'anti-racists' they are, they'll have suppressed their natural reaction and swallowed it, for fear of breaching the first rule of white Leftism 'Never ever do anything that might be considered racist'. And allowed their daughter to shack up with a PoS scumbag.

The rest of their life is going to be fun, with all that guilt eating away at them from the inside, that they failed to protect their daughter because of their need to be seen to be 'right on'.

@Sobers: Succinct, clear and accurate. Whenever I see "rapper", I generally mentally translate it as "unemployed drug dealer".

Sobers - spot on.

sobers; not to mention the guilt they must feel from not giving their daughter "the talk" at a young age no doubt they fed their girl all the politically correct BS about "we`re all the same under the skin" or "never judge a book by its cover" etc etc, when I saw the newspaper report about this case and saw the picture of the "aspiring rapper" my instinct screamed "useless piece of crap,stay away"
and if that makes me a knuckle dragging racist,well I`m OK with that.

Spot on!

"Let's not mention the massive elephant in the room."

A Loxodonta africana, I believe...

"When did "aspiring" become a euphemism for "idly dreaming about achieving x. Effortlessly"?"

I think it came right after 'Education, education, education'...

"I bet the parents aren't surprised at all, deep down."

I must admit, I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for them.

"and if that makes me a knuckle dragging racist,well I`m OK with that."

Better that than be a sacrifice to political correctness, as Jaded notes.
