The Police: only doing what they’re told to do and nothing more …

 

This morning the front pages again sing in unison: “Newspaper headlines: ‘You can rest now, Nikki’ and Biden’s Ukraine trip” wrote the BBC ‘staff’ who has to produce the usual early-morning compilation (link). If you check it out you’ll find that only the broadsheets have Biden’s ‘surprise’ visit on their front pages. 

Only the Star dares to differ, referring on their front page to the ‘sensitivity editors’ mangling the children’s books by Roald Dahl. Isn’t it astonishing that those ‘sensitive’ souls aren’t campaigning for a boycott of those books rather than mangle them? After all it’s parents who buy childrens books, innit. Surely the sensitive woke brigade could provide ‘guidance’ to parents?

That begs another question: who are the editors in the publishing houses giving in to those ‘sensitivity’ demands? They used to be, by all accounts, fierce ladies who’d do battle with authors about their sloppy language. And now?

Perhaps they’re of the same caliber as the Detective Superintendent, a Ms Rebecca Smith, who is responsible for the police crash the investigation of that poor Ms Bulley has turned into. After all, she must have signed off on providing the ‘news’ about Ms Bulley’s personal difficulties which the MSM now lambast – after having spread thema cross their front pages, of course.

I’ll just say that, had a male Superintendent done this, he’d be told to take early retirement, now. Since it was a female, well … she’s only acted like “Duchess Whinge”, slyly undermining other females by talking about hormones. The wonderful thing is of course that feminists have been screaming for decades that the male description of females being prey to their hormones was a disgusting lie, perpetrated by the patriarchy. Of course, it’s all different when we do it, innit, laydees? 

Speaking of the police, there were two intriguing reports in The Times yesterday. One comes under ‘serves you right’ as it reports on the woeful state of Whitehall – the actual area, that is, not the institution:

“Whitehall has declined into a “degree of squalor and disorder” with soaring rates of violent crime, according to a think tank.Violent crime has risen two and a half times faster in the streets around parliament than in London as a whole and three times faster than in the borough of Westminster as a whole. The report, published by the Policy Exchange think tank, has prompted fears for the safety of MPs, their staff, workers on the parliamentary estate and tourists visiting the area.” (link, paywalled)

Well, that’s what happens when nobody works there any more “because WFH!” and when there’s no police presence because most officers have to pursue hate crime online. Anyway, it surely would be a sign of ‘police brutality’ if they prevented these violent crimes! Furthermore, “we” have no money to tidy up that iconic area. 

The other report referred to a waily ‘statistic’ about deaths after police restraints. The headline is the programme: “Black people held by police are more likely to die”. The whole thing was copied by The Times from the grauniad, but I’ll not go there. See this (my emphasis):

“Black people are seven times more likely to die after police restraint than white people in the UK, analysis has showed. The racial discrepancy is revealed in a report released by Inquest, a charity that helps families bereaved after contact with the police or state. […] Inquest said: “From 2012-13 to 2020-21, there have been 119 deaths involving restraint recorded by the [Independent Office for Police Conduct] ‘in or following police custody’ or recorded as ‘other deaths following police contact’. Of these 23 were of black people, 86 were white, five were Asian and four were mixed race.” The report, I Can’t Breathe: Race, Death and British Policing, said that taking the make-up of the population into account, black people were seven times more likely to die.” (link, paywalled)

There are no numbers given for the ‘make-up of the population’, never mind the make-up of prison inmates. Here’s the government statistic:

“Black, Black British, Caribbean or African” was 4.2% (2.4 million) “Mixed or Multiple ethnic groups” was 3.0% (1.7 million) “White” ethnic groups was 81.0% (45.8 million) (link).

Perhaps neither the grauniad nor the research group wanted to touch the numbers for  this racial issue since it undermines the lefty drive in the MSM and in commerce of painting British society as black and coloured, whiteys being eradicated from those images.

I do wonder why they also didn’t tell us the make-up of prison inmates. After all, there’s a report in the grauniad, published in March 2022, giving just those numbers. Have a look if you must, especially since, in a subordinate clause, they write that ‘the pandemic’ began in late 2019’ (link). I don’t need to emphasise that this latest ‘report’ illustrates wonderfully how woefully ignorant of basic statistics  all those researchers, reporters and writers are. 

And so to yon other ‘big issue’: the ongoing war in the Ukraine and Biden’s ‘surprise’ visit. I’m ‘surprised’ Washington was able to stop leaking this visit, with our own MSM also playing this game. After all, when the US President goes on a journey, there’s a whole entourage involved. On the Kiev side, streets had to be cleared for the proper theatre. Did no one notice anything? Really? Anyway – there were nice photo ops, splashed across today’s MSM. I was impressed by how Mr Biden looked like a rich American uncle visiting a scruffy relative …

Closer to home, there’s the DT underlining their position as premier warmongering paper by leading with the demand by Johnson and Truss:

“Boris Johnson and Liz Truss heap pressure on Rishi Sunak to send fighter jets to Ukraine – Former prime ministers unite in call for lethal weapons to be sent to Kyiv sooner” (paywalled link). 

It looks as if they didn’t hear anything their own Minister of Defence, Mr Wallace, has been saying about the state of our Armed Forces. Pointing fingers at Sunak from the back benches, without responsibility, is easy. If they think that this war cry will give them a bonus with their constituents they better think again.

I leave you with an announcement which our wonderful MSM are so extremely relaxed about that they don’t mention it. President Putin will give a speech today where unbiased observers expect to learn more about the ongoing war. TASS is still accessible, methinks, so here’s the link to that announcement, in English.

And finally, another outstanding analyst has created his own site on substack where he/she/it looks at the situation in the Ukraine and related world news. Here’s his latest article – the earlier ones are also a must-read, long as they are.

That’s all I have for today. Every morning I think I couldn’t become more dissatisfied with our MSM , only to have eye expectations, low as they are, dashed again. At least the days are getting longer. We don’t need any ‘guidance’, especially ‘female’ guidance, to notice that. Have a good day.
