PC is doing more harm than good for the people its supposed to protect.

[festive]

Is that based on statistics or anecdote?

Ilford is under the Met police which is massively skewed to black kids for stop and search.

Just a minute. Lets flip that, Ilford is under the Met police which is massively skewed to white kids for stop and search.

If they are being caught with knives stop every single one until it's eradicated. I don't care, if they are the offenders public safety is paramount

Quite an easy one JD, surprised you don't know the answer.
It means the letter of the law cannot be administered across the board for fear of being accused of racism.
Not hard is it to make that connection?

That is a fatuous "meaning" of your own invention

Or the same could be said of your own application.
This is not in isolation on your part though, you seem to have strong feelings re Boris being a numpty on the world stage yet we looked on in 'admiration' the president of the eu Mr Juncker going the extra mile having one too many brandies making a complete tw*t of himself.

Did you indeed.

Did you indeed.

Seemed to be playing a blinder in my book, didn't exactly enhance the eu cause.

Except your statement is *******s. The met police are 3x more likely to stop and search a black kid than a white kid.

And no, black kids aren't three times more likely to be carrying a weapon or drugs.

Stop and search has never been shown to be effective in preventing crime. I'm not sure why you think that every person needs to be searched for knives every day but it seems disproportionate.

The same Police who failed to invesigate Warboys

In 2018, the victims of John Worboys, the “black cab rapist” convicted of 19 sexual offences in 2009, but who is believed to have carried out more than 100 rapes and sexual assaults on women in London between 2002 and 2008, won an appeal against the Metropolitan Police for its failure to bring Worboys to justice.

The police’s failure to bring Worboys to justice was summed up emphatically by the first of Worboys’ victims to make a complaint to the police in 2003, a woman known as DSD, who said of the police, “had you done your job properly, there wouldn’t be 105 victims, there would be one. I can take the one. I can’t take the 105.”

We went to our grandsons first sports day at his school yesterday. Of course, we were expecting to see some kind of competitiveness such as a race or a competition to see who could run the quickest or throw something or jump the furthest. No chance. Whilst there were such events as long jump, egg and spoon, obstacle courses etc, there were no competitions as such. Instead, they were all given a tick list and could walk round in their own time with their parents and grandparents trying out those things on their own. Of course, the children knew no better and missed out on the feeling of victory as a winner or disappointment of losing and of course, everyone was a winner. He even got a certificate for 'taking part' and a medal with a pink ribbon at the end of it. In my mind, that’s PC gone mad.

Been a long time boiling the frog and now we're 'reaping' the rewards.
Now the pushback.

Orbán, Le Pen, Salvini join forces to blast EU integration

But don’t expect a single Euroskeptic group any time soon.

And fatuous is a cracking new word.

I may use this once I know what it means

When you breath in next don't hold it.
I'm still waiting for Caraman to come back with racist posts he said I've posted.

I see more and more white kids in London these days. London is flipping again. Most if these young white kids are from wealthy families and are less likely to be carrying knives as the black kids are.

 

[Bod ...]

Only partially. I don't agree with your racist overviews, sorry

Show them to us. I have all day. My flight is at 10 this evening.

And breath......
