Our leaders have been worse than useless.
Yep, gotta agree with that, though not for the same reason...
Can none of our political leaders bring themselves to say that two-tier policing is a myth, and inequality and racism is still present in the institution?No, they clearly cannot because we all see this incident as a prime example of it, and even Starmer knows that trying to convince voters that up in down and north is south isn;t going to wash this time.
Can none of them say that the life of any person in police custody should be preserved in any circumstance?
That's an impossible ask: all they can do is try, not guarentee. People who have swallowed drugs, people witth undiagnosed medical conditions...police deal with all of these on a daily basis. And that was not the case in this instance, they didn't even try, contrary to their training.
And we've not forgotten what training they have put into practice!
This is, indeed, the crux of the matter. We have the reciepts, and we aren't going to forget them. No matter how much chaff the establisment throws up in attempts at deflection.

Do we have a democracy in this country? A real democracy?
A wife of a (Tory) councillor is banged up for nearly two years for a tweet, which she immediately (but too late to stop it going viral), and the establishment celebrated. Not long after that, the same establishment (and we know who those central politicians are) also celebrated after their campaign to have a man released from an Egyptian prison and welcomed him into this country. This particular person was too radical even for a Muslim country, which was why he was imprisoned. Demanding the complete extermination of Israel and all Jews, plus the overthrow of the West as all non muslims are worse than dogs, and refusing to back down over this is apparently OK with our political leaders. Anyone criticising this man, his views, and the government welcome, may find themselves being prosecuted for inciting a hate crime. Doesn't sound like much of a democracy to me, though I may be wrong. Just my opinion, as long as we are allowed to have opinions (and don't tell anyone).

The usual Guardian lefty piece of special pleading for the native population to stop noticing how badly they are being let down and shut up and take it without protest.
