Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

As you cannot scroll... police were found to be institionally racist in some places if I recall. Would you rather they were allowed to carry on as they were?
There has always been racism in all areas of society and there probably always will be. It is one of the reasons that mass immigration and multi-culturalism is so problematic. Certainly the police should be impartial, but the blanket 'institutionally racist' claims were I think greatly exaggerated and used by the left as another stick to beat the police and authorities, leading to some near lawless areas in many of our cities.

And LAbour have been the same. Tories will privatise the NHS and make people pay. Challenge someone that it isnt in the manifesto and the response is, well it wouldnt be. Today a Labour councillor posted a MEME of May claiming she had said things regarding Lesbians. When challenged as to the origin of the quote she started to say well the Tories were vile [Tweet Link]

There have been several cases of May doing so.

So although found to be institionally racist, it doesn't matter because of mass immigration causing racism, so isn't really their fault.

Could that be because advisers to the Tories, believed that Cyber security needed more funds. Funding hasn't been cut and re-routed to May's back pockets, it had to be routed elsewhere; like the additional £1.9bn in cyber security spending announced in 2016. Or the £250m made available to Cyber Security start ups in 2015. Police numbers shouldn't be decreased, that I agree with. But I don't agree with 20,000 more police officers could of stopped someone acting alone and deciding to mow people down in the case of Westminster. It was rerouted to cuts in tax. The cuts have been ideological not an economic necessity. If that was the story it's not cutting through. More police would allow officers more time and resource to concentrate on responding to concerns from communities and monitoring people on their watch lists and ensuring their watch lists are as complete and appropriate as possible.

The words of the Independent McPherson Report. Sir William McPherson was a retired Judge, who served in the army (Captain), and was also a territorial member of the special air service (final rank Lt Colonel). He was knighted under Thatcher's government and had a reputation as one of the judiciaries top judges. Were his claims exaggerated. Incidently, he arguged that institutional racism was probably present in the NHS, The civil service, the judiciary and local government services (i.e. it wasn't unique to the police).

Sure there was, and no doubt still is, in those institutions and others. As I have said it is a feature of the problems caused by immigration and multi-culturalism.

I don't know why we even have these discussions. The whole subject of so called race is highly politically motivated.

And large scale immigration causes a lot of it. A whole lot of the problem we face today are a result of mass immigration. It might have propped up our stagnating population and rescued a few pensions but the price had been too expensive.

Are you suggesting that some parties are inherently racist or something? Which parties have polices guided by "so called race". There is no excuse for discrimination of any kind. The fact that it happens elsewhere is one of the reasons why we in the UK should be setting an example and eradicating discrimination in all its forms. You can't just blame migration and wash your hands of it. Everyone has a responsibility to minimise their prejudices and interact with others in a way that isn't biased by the colour of ones skin, gender or whatever. Politics has nothing to do with it.

It's a minority of multi-culture that causes friction. When the pieces don't fit together at all with absolutely no common ground. But as it stands, the vast majority do. There was a big hoo-hah when Afro-Caribbeans arrived but what do you know? We Brits and them found we did have things in common that they enjoyed and could be enjoyed together. Music,food,religion,dope, etc.

Really? That again Britain is extremely low on the 'racism' league which is amazing considering the long list of problems that multi culture has brought with it. Right now that multi culture is responsible for killing our kids. I don't think we need a lecture about our responsibilities in that department thanks.
