Yet another day and another attack on our police, this time by the Orwellian entitled Justice Secretary Jack Straw, and gleefully reported by the BBC. This report starts by the spineless Straw suggesting that the Met is “no longer” institutionally racist (back-handed compliment there, lads) before he helpfully adds that there may still be “pockets of racism” within the force. It’s a perpetual motif of BBC reporting, this denigration of the British police. The idea being reinforced time after time is that racism is endemic and only the brave advocates of left-wingism can save us from it. The BBC sees this as an article of faith and never misses the chance to further propagate it.
Dunno you know. Doreen ‘shut up’ Lawrence has been whinging on about them all being bloody racists.
I used to do stuff for the Home Orrifice and that bloody woman was on a proper junket of lecturing people on what racism is. It was a Yasmin Allibiya Brown moment of ‘I wasn’t racist until I met you’.
The rise of the righteous. We need elected police chiefs quicker than quick. But that can’t happen because people may stupidly vote the wrong way and for the BNP – those stupid idiotic voters – what will they think of next?
Dick
They’ll vote BNP because NO political party has any guts to meet, head on, the worries of the electorate.
Don’t blame the people. Blame the politicians. Not one cojones between the 646.
And to call those who vote for the BNP ‘iditic’. What does that say of those that voted ZaNu Labour 3 b*****y times!
The BBC logic is as long as there are white people there will be racism. If only we could get rid of all those pesky non-blacks.
The BBC are doing it’s utmost to ethnically cleanse the indigenous population from it’s screens in the hope that life will eventually imitate art and whites will become a minority. Of course then racism will manifest itself black against whites, but this will be Karma in the BBC minds and deserved revenge.
As I write this I am having the unfortunate experience of watching ‘Balamory’ with my 2 year old. I never knew that some insignificant – nay ficticious – fishing port in Scotland could have such a high percentage of ethnic minorities. Balamory is the BBC’s idea of multi-cultural nirvana.
I notice the idiot, simpleton policeman is white. Naturally. What’s strange is that the token black man has an American accent. Were they so pushed to find a black man in Scotland they had to import one from America?
Twizzle: You’ve misspelled “b*****y”. It should be “b****y”!
The presumption in Labour’s (and the BBC’s) political agenda is that the only ‘racist’ offences are those committed by whites, not by blacks or by arabs, for example.
Here is an extract from a 2008 politically pertinent article by Melanie Phillips:-
‘Mail’:
“Multiculturalism is actually undermining that defence” [against the attack by radical Islamism] “in an even more immediate and alarming way. The Metropolitan Police is currently all but paralysed by the sustained onslaught from ethnic minority officers who are suing it for discrimination. Many of these cases, backed by the Black Police Association within the Met, are clearly deeply mischievous and unfounded.
“But what on earth justifies a ‘Black Police Association’ in the first place – or indeed any of the Met’s other ‘minority rights’ police associations?
“The fact is that ever since the police were accused of ‘ institutional racism’ after the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, they have been paralysed by the fear of being labelled racist – a terror which has indeed driven the whole of government to genuflect disastrously to multiculturalism and minority rights. This has even affected those in the counter-terrorism world, who are so petrified of being accused of racism that they are reluctant to call it ‘Islamist terrorism’; and under instruction to boost the number of ethnic minorities in their ranks have furthermore turned a blind eye to extremist views.
“So the multicultural rights agenda, which is progressively destroying the effectiveness of our armed forces, police and security service, means Britain cannot be defended. No surprise there – because it is all about destroying the historic identity of this country.”(Melanie Phillips.)

Do I b***************y care!
The idea being reinforced time after time is that racism is endemic and only the brave advocates of left-wingism can save us from it.
Quite so.
What is left-wingism and where does it come from?
If the term left-wingism means anything, it means, ‘what the establishment and therefore its BBC seems to like at any given time.’
If the term right-wingism means anything, it means, ‘what the establishment and therefore its BBC seems not to like, at any given time.’
In other words, conservative means right-wingism. Therefore is by BBC definition, the opposite of whatever the establishment and therefore its BBC seems to like at any given time.
Which is why conservative voters and especially members should not be able to relate to any BBC, however hard they try.
Our problem is this.
Where as the following things are good for us the people.
Peace, freedom, individual and human property rights, the truth, smallest of all government, common law, real justice, marriage, family, small business and a general non corrupted society at all levels.
The exact opposite is good for the people that RULE over US.
Therefore the people that RULE over us All, have a long existent problem, which they have become very well experienced and highly clever at dealing with, over the last many thousands of years.
Which is.
How can the establishment periodically and systematically get away with causing all of these very nasty things, while also pretending to be doing the exact opposite, and taxing us all into working poverty, in order to pay for it all???????
This of course is where THE BBC comes in VERY VERY handy indeed.
There is noting inherently new about multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is in fact a FASCIST socialist ideology, that used to go by the name of Apartheid, in places such as South Africa.
This our current New Labour government is a classic DIVIDE and RULE FASCIST party, in absolutely ALL but name, and visible Jack-boots. The BBC is the mouthpiece of our FASCIST establishment.
To myself at least, the above is SELF APPARENTLY so.
All Fascists have several things in common. The most important being an elitist theology backed up with massively profitable ‘investment’ using the international banking system. Which is itself a FASCIST organization run, owned and controlled by FASCISTS. As of course is The BBC.
Which is why.
A policy, such as the police force taking note in any way, as to the racial origins of any particular applicant, victim, or indeed suspect. In the name of stopping the police force from being institutionally racist. Is a sick joke.
In reality it makes our police force institutionally racist, by definition, when perhaps it was not so much in the past.
Summing up.
This country is more generally racist now then at any time in its modern history, because our own establishment LIKE it that way. Enabled by the fact that our entire main stream media and especially our British Broadcasting CORPORATION, is COMPLETELY run and controlled from the very top, by our own British and World ESTABLISHMENT.
PS
Please note that although The Conservative Party uses the word conservative in its name. This does not inherently mean The Conservative Party has much if anything to do with conservatism. This because ultimately the Conservative Party is controlled by the same people that control all major political parties, and the BBC.
Meanwhile, the brilliant (and getting ever better) Inspector Gadget explains exactly why
the revolving door system
means that
the customer is always right.
Funnily enough, the inspector doesn’t seem to get a lot of BBC airtime.
But then, he actually knows the reality of policing, not the construct we’re fed by the national broadcaster, and we can’t have reality on the airwaves, can we?
Atlas Shrugged, your comment
“There is noting inherently new about multiculturalism. Multiculturalism is in fact a FASCIST socialist ideology, that used to go by the name of Apartheid, in places such as South Africa”.
That statement seems manifestly wrong, please enlarge on your perspective, I cannot understand how you can classify Multiculturalism and Apartheid as being in the same bracket. I am prepared to be proved wrong, but cannot find any foundation in your claim.
The police force is a snapshot of the British public, if the BBC and its Labour masters are claiming that the police are racist, then I can only conclude that the BBC and Labour is accusing ALL of us of being racist.
Hi David,
It’s nice to be back after my most recent ban.
Perhaps you can point out where in the article the BBC ‘gleefully’ reports an attack on the police?
‘The Metropolitan Police is no longer institutionally racist, Justice Secretary Jack Straw has said.
His comments came in an interview marking the 10th anniversary of the Macpherson report, published after the murder of teenager Stephen Lawrence.
It heavily criticised the approach and attitude of the force.
Mr Straw told the BBC: “If you are asking me whether I believe the Met as a whole is still institutionally racist, the answer is no.”
It seems that this site and your postings in particular have abandoned all attempts at substantiating any of your claims.
Bulls**t Detective: You obviously forgot to turn your own Bulls**t filter on, if the nonsense that you have just posted is the level of your debating skills, then I suggest that you get yourself of to Dolly Drapers site, you seem like perfect partners.
“Yet another day and another attack on our police”
Ermm… they are not ‘our’ Police.
Bad error of judgement there. Wake up?
The ‘Police’ are a government-funded protection racket that serves the government and keeps the tax-paying populace in-check.
The BBC has nothing to do with this story… however the Police are just as bad as the BBC… i.e. they are SCUM.
Hope this helps?
BullShit D:
“It seems that this site and your postings in particular have abandoned all attempts at substantiating any of your claims”.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but try as I might, I can’t recall you posting your support here during those halcyon days when, according to you, this site & DV’s postings in particular DID (according to you) substantiate their claims.
Or are you another of those Bullshit Detectives who regularly claim they used to like this site but who strangely we have no memory of?
i thought your post was referring to this at first..

now that is/was blatantly racist..
but only against ‘average white man’
David, if Jack Straw said >>there may still be “pockets of racism”
I see the Hitler Youth section of BBC News is still adamant that religion is a race.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_1700000/newsid_1703900/1703902.stm
“What is racism?
Racism is when someone thinks different skin colour or religious beliefs make some people better than others.
Racists bully people who are different to them. They do this by name-calling or violence.”
Dont know what happened with above, here we go again …
David, if Jack Straw said > there may still be “pockets of racism” within the force < how can this reinforce the idea of 'endemic racism'? I have to say, and maybe its just me, but lately I get the impression you are often objecting to views you dont like rather than bias itself?
Multiculturalism, by definition, depends on the existence of a variation of distinct cultures. This must involve, on some level, the preservation of cultural identities in order to supply the ‘multi’ part of the equation.
Yet the left wing multiculturalists seem to be doing everything they can to tear down and dilute one of those cultures – the white, indigenous culture of Britain. Every culture is welcome in the melting pot except this one.
To the left, multiculturalism means the harmonious co-existence of every ethnicity and culture except that of British whites, whose culture is inherently evil and must be discarded in favor of the ‘superior’ cultures of the third world (even though their precious left wing values are generally not tolerated in such cultures.)
Paradoxically, the very culture which gave rise to civil rights, equality and democracy (as well as the economic system which improved the living conditions of the poor more than any other force in history) is not seen as worthy of preservation – while the tribalist cultures of the 3rd world which abhor such Western values are to be promoted and preserved at all costs.
What bothers me most about the left is that in expressing the superiority of white ‘Western’ culture, I’m labeled a racist who believes in the supremacy of skin color. But in truth skin color means nothing to me at all. I say ‘white’ culture only in response to the fact that the ‘white’ part of it is the reason they oppose it. In truth, I don’t care what the racial make up of those practicing this ‘white’ culture is. It’s a culture of freedom, democracy, civility and reason and anyone with a fully functioning brain and a rational outlook can practice it.
Is it superior to the other cultures of the world? Yes, of course. But that doesn’t mean I believe in racial supremacy, it just means I believe in the supremacy of one set of ideas over another. For this, I’m classed as a ‘bigot.’

Read the article. Straw said that there still may be “pockets of institutional racism.”
As soon as you insert the word ‘institutional’ in there, you are neutralizing the word ‘pockets’ and suggesting that the racism is still indeed endemic, an ingrained part of the system.
For something to be ‘institutional’ it must by definition pervade the whole institution. By using that word Straw exposes the fact that his use of the word ‘pockets’ was just a softener.
It also, of course, neutralizes his claim, in the same article, that the police is “perfect as an institution.”
If only we could say the BBC was no longer Institutionally Leftist.
But alas — that shit has long since sailed.

If this is the same clown who posted here under this name two or three years ago then he was comprehensively discredited and disappeared from view.
Twizzle – been to me ol’ dears all day – roast chicken dinner – get in!
Err…. I was taking the piss. I’m a Tory just because I am but I’m still laughing after 12 years of New Labour and I laugh under 12 years of anything.
I don’t mind the BNP at all – not my cup of tea and there are end points to certain philosophies that they espouse which I don’t subscribe to but, fortunately, (or perhaps unfortunately considering i’m virtually grey at 33) there are limits to what the BNP could do with a 3 term government with a decent majority.
The British don’t necessarily mind dodgy authoritarianism if there’s a clean up job to be done – we got Cromwell after all. The 1st Dictator. I think they are able to distinguish control and taking the absolute piss.
I dislike the comparison between the BNP and Nazis. It’s a false and cheap characature of both. At the moment, the BNP are a shanty operation with no intellectual vigour. Nick Griffin seems a nice chap – wants to do well but wouldn’t give you a great boost of confidence if he was on your pub quiz team.
This racist attack of the argument is becoming tiresome and droll. There needs to be a pragmatic movement expressed in this long campaign.
Racism assumes either that groups act in unison regarding their race
or
Race gives rise to the condemnation and exclusion of those which are not similar.
What if – people recognize race as a method of catergorisation and then show sufficient awareness to act accordingly?
The greatest sin a fascist can carry out is to kill people illegally and I guess it makes it worse if they’re neighbours. However, requiring people to speak the language and attempt to make a contribution to Blighty is neither racist nor impractical.
I’m gonna vote BNP in Europeans – I’ll laugh about it.
Unfortunately, the BBC has perpetrated a trend in ‘multiculturalism madness’ in which the signal has been loudly portrayed that the needs of ethnic minority Britain outstrips those of the evil white majority at large. This message has catapaulted an out-of-control trend in race card-holders exploiting false allegations especially within the public sector where the whiff of potential £££ is combined with the lure of playing on ethnic and diversity policies so intrinsically imposed into these sorts of institutions at the hands of zunulabour.
I don’t think learned analysis requires conformity. On the contrary – people govern themselves, government merely facilitates them.
The BNP are bloody socialists – knobheads.

Good post! Many people in most societies ‘hold these things to be true’. It’s the guilt ridden middle (upper?) class within the ‘serious’ media and the BBC in particular that need to categorise these virtues, along with those who have an interest either politically or professionally in keeping ‘racial’ issues to the fore. This includes the truly corrupt like Mugabe (colonialism), career politicians like Straw (IR in the Met to cover up the fact it has lost it’s way – not least in its policing of ‘deprived’ areas due to pc(orrectness)), shoddy, lazy journos on fat salaries / expenses (Interview another ‘victim’, talk up racialist comments – intended or not),
Of course these people would not deign or have the social ability or stomach to actually mix with real individuals from the minorities / third world who could not be exploited to provide the ‘angle’. They would find in my experience very little pc, or the nuances of the cosy liberal debate except from those whose form of ‘education’ has allowed them acceptance within the chattering classes. Having said that, can’t imagine many from Newsnight, Today, etc would be on most people’s Christmas top table.
I dont suppose the BBC get out and about. If they were to meet my mate Allan,who is black, he would tell them that;
The police dont pick on minorities as they`re worried about being called racist
and
Prison works.
Unfortunately he`s just living a life and trying to get by in the world.He`s not given government funding to form a pressure group, think tank or charity.
“Angelica: Unfortunately, the BBC has perpetrated a trend in ‘multiculturalism madness'”
Quite so. The “multicultural” meme is adopted in such a way as to assume opposition must be “racism” False dichotomy, as usual from those who get their left-wing prism eyeglasses from “Gordon-Savers”
The French model says the choice is not Multiculturalism vs Racism, it is ” Multiculturalism (stay separate) vs INTEGRATION : “You are welcome to come and live in our country but we expect, since you want to live among us, to want to join us and become like us, and integrate. Otherwise, F***O**.
Integration is the correct response to immigration, not racism or multiculturalism. Tony sold us a pup.
Such a generalisation is meaningless, as there is always going to be some racist lout residing somewhere no matter what measure are in place.
With the BBC it’s got to be the right kind of racism, you see. It is clear that Jews and Israelis in particular are fair game. They are not exactly friendly towards Poles either, or northern Irish.
What happened with Stephen Lawrence was awful and the police dropped a huge clanger with that one.
What the BBC has consistently failed to point out over years of selective reporting is the problem of black-on-black crime. Statistics confirm that while gun crime for example is not unique to the black community, the black community is over-represented to a frightening degree.
OT,
The BBC’s power of censorship.
How the BBC scuppered Pirate Radio.
Jason | 22.02.09 – 5:34 pm
Yes, I frequently try to get this point across to the nutters on the left who scream “racist’ at me whenever I say the same thing.
It’s an undeniable fact that the Anglo-Saxon Judeo-Christian capitalist system has proved to be the most successful, progressive and humane of all economic and social models. That its origin was overwhelmingly in European whites is also beyond question. However, rather than have this fact delineated along racial lines, I prefer to say that it’s simply a matter of having a successful value system. I have no qualms with any person of any colour or any religion – I just want them to share roughly the same value system and not want to blow me, my family or the rest of society up.
Is that too much to ask?

Evidently, if it involves hurting the feelings of terrorists or denying their right to plot and scheme against us, then yes.
‘Cranmer’:
“Is Parliament ‘institutionally racist’?”
http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-parliament-institutionally-racist.html
Actually perhaps we shouldn`t get too upset about the BBC thinking that the Met might be institutionally racist. It means that organisations can adopt from nearly all their personnel a singular outlook on life.If the Met can be Institutionally racist, the senior civil service can be institutionally obstructive, and the BBC can be instituionally lefty.
OR,
Agreed – the problem is that the phrase “institutionally racist” has been repeated an nauseum over the past ten years or so that it’s become part of the daily vernacular – indeed, almost the daily hymn of the far left loons and their liberal hand wringers.
Truth be told – we really need a much higher profile campaign against the BBC from the Conservatives, complementing the work of this and other “Biased BBC” sites. This attack needs to be strong and sustained to counter the insidious propaganda from the left. Often it seems that centre-right blogs are the only ones holding the BBC to account these days.
Tne Conservatives have to get their act together – I’m sure they would find a huge propertion of the electorate supporting such a campaign.
