How Dizaei destroyed the thin blue line

R. Harrison

As a retired police officer, I completely agree with the ananlsis in this article. What the article failed to identify was that this government revised the disciplinary rules to decree that Racial Discriminatory Behaviour leads to the automatic dismissal of an officer. This is the situation that Dizaei exploited to intimidate colleagues from challenging him.

You are right about "special interest groups" in the police melanie, what about the huge numbers of coppers that are hooked up to the freemasons, that's been going on for much longer and being a "secret society" is much more insidious, and has tentacles everywhere I think any freemason or indeed any of those you mentioned and that lot that work covertly to ensure the complete integration of the EU should be automatically excluded from any public office and members of their families too! Thanks for your work, keep it up.

There is littel doubt that the traditional integrity and authority of the British police has been seriously compromised by the insidious embrace of Cultural Marxism.

This can be witnessed by the disproportionate recruitment of female officers; often of midget size; and the undeserved elivation of other minority interests over that of the common good.

So, if your black, a woman or homosexual, youv'e got it made.

As a group each of these have their own axe to grind which is reflected in the way the law is carried out.

The concept of 'Sine Timore, Sine Favoure' - has long been abandoned and repleced by the evils of political correctness, best exemplified by the arrest and charge of a student for calling a police horse gay!

I fail to see the connection with the National Black Police association of Britain and a subsidised junket to Iran .

What have Iranians got to do with ethnic British Police officers?

Is there anyone who could tell me when Iranians became black?

@Suffolkbore

The following piece of liberal lunacy comes from the web site of the National Black Police Association:

"The definition of "Black" does not refer to skin colour...the emphasis is on the common experience and determination of the people of African, African-Caribbean and Asian origin to oppose the effects of racism."

So that is why an Iranian can be black; in order to accuse us of racism.

Interesting how
"arose from the terror of acting against ethnic minority officers for fear of being deemed ’racist’"
ended in violence when applied to the case of Major Hassan in the USA and now Police Commander Ali Dizaei.

The Black Police Association should be banned, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission should be disbanded.

The 'race relations/multi-cultural' brigade have done more damage to this country than both World Wars put together.

Watkin

I note there's a Jewish Police Association in the UK. Perhaps, following Boudicca's logic, this should also be banned?

Paul Weston

Watkin

I cannot answer for Boudicca, but I imagine she would favour the disbandment of a Jewish Police Association.

I imagine this, of course, because she alludes to the damage such divisive institutions and ideology have done to our country.

I also notice you failed to answer this very valid point, content as you are to simply snipe even whilst getting it hopelessly wrong.

Clearly Ali Dizaei has been playing the Met.heirachy and the rest of the p.c. brigade in positions of power for the incompitent fools they genuinely are. One would hope that they would finally wake up and smell the coffee but realistically, they are so obsessed with their own self-serving agendas that they have only scorn and derision for what used to be called the common sense of the common people. The Police, Government and Judiciary have long ceased to represent the basic needs of the vast majority of law abiding citizens, and instead have given themselves over to pandering to the loud, the feral, the feckless, and most bizarrely of all, to those who are committed to the destruction of this once great nation via the imposition of a hostile alien culture. One shudders at the thought of vigilatism, but with the police now overtly favouring political correctness over an impartial upholding of the law, I fear it will become increasingly inevitable.

Ms Phillips refers to "... the pernicious Macpherson doctrine that the police were ‘institutionally racist’..."

Whether or not the Metropolitan police was "institutionally racist" is not a doctrine. It is an observation that is open to empirical verification. The investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence was certainly a strong piece of evidence in favour of Macpherson's claim.

Elderly members of the white majority were mostly happy with the status quo pre-Macpherson. But other citizens are probably rather happy about the move towards fairer policing.

PolitePaul

I find it interesting that the botched investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence is held up as "strong evidence" that the Metropolitan Police are institutionally racist.

Yet apply that logic to the endless stream of Islamic terrorist attrocities and you will be told in strong terms that they do NOT indicate the religion itself is inherently violent. After all, in that case, the bad things are done only by "a tiny minority of extremists".

Agree completely with the post. Other professions such as teaching are also undermined by the grievance culture.

Hand in hand with this go the various regulatory regimes in the NHS, Police, Schools and social services which seek to avert attention form systemic failings, but rather seek to apportion blame to individual institutions or groups of individuals within them.

Sadly the media both of the left and right fail to spot this in many cases enhance the blame culture. Guardian writers will read more stringent attacks on the police, Mail readers will see more vilification of teachers. All sections of the media failing to see the big picture, their vision by their own preconceptions of the ideologies of the groups concerned. EG Police are semi fascist and teachers are all pinkos.

In all a brilliant divide and rule strategy that both major parties adhere to to avoid real accountability.

Paul Westons reference to the definition of 'black' is interesting. Presumably the BPA do not not regard the sino-japanese billions as black nor the American indians, so colonial past isn't the key either. The PC Americans refer to 'people of colour' which neatly covers all non-whites.

When working on advertising campaigns for world markets some years ago, a core campaign would use black, oriental and white models. Europe and North America would happily accept all colours with England, France and Belgium often preferring the 'black version', depending on the ad.. Asia Pacific would not accept 'black' versions at all, even objecting to oriental models as looking 'chinese', 'malay' or just 'low class'. The Arab world only accepted 'white' images. All my experience in international marketing (high end products)over the years marked out Europe (particularly, England, France, Belgium, Holland, Scandinavia) and the US as having the lowest racial sensitivity in advertising of all our major markets. This did not result from purpose designed studies but fell out from the image preferences displayed by various countries.

We are mugs to accept the racist calumnies and associated strictures that are heaped upon us.
