[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[Thunder Bolt]

Talking of Steve Bray, somebody set up a crowdfunder ages ago to enable him to keep protesting and still be able to live. It jumped £100K yesterday with donations from all over the country. I particularly liked this one.

Do these things 'allowing to live' come under income tax rules then?

If not, I hope he contributes anyway.

The Met has now been placed in "special measures".

The UK's largest police force in special measures and Dick got a £166K "bugger off" bonus.

I agree that Bray is an irritating shit but he should have the right to protest and the Met's overkill in shutting him up at the behest of their political masters was absolutely ridiculous (see also the Sarah Everard vigil and others).

Meanwhile, people reporting their house has been broken into, or their car has been stolen, or anti-social behaviour are met with "we don't have the resources".

Yes

Priti Patel has done a lot for fundraising good causes. First RNLI, now Steve Bray.

Comparing those 2 entities in the same sentence is quite frankly ridiculous.

The RNLI is a wonderful institution.

Women in London have been attacked, raped and assaulted by police workers. The Met was even found to be unlawful in breaking up the Sarah Everard vigil.

If 20 police are involved in stopping one man making a noise in Parliament Square, they aren't doing their job elsewhere.

Policing in this country is done by consent. The Met and a couple of other police forces, like South Yorks police do not have public consent. I say that with a nephew in the SY police.


Here's a couple of examples of Met policing on women

A professor, Dr Konstancjia Duff was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police whilst handing a card to a 15 year old with legal advice on it.

A 15 year old girl was stripped searched in a school whilst she was menstruating on an unfounded suspician she had cannabis

But this has all been going on for a long time. See also stopping a black Olympic sprinter and a black MP for no reason. See Ian Tomlinson's murder and subsequent whitewash.

What your talking about has nothing to do with Preeti Patel or the crime and policing bill, you're just linking it because that's what political twitter types are currently obsessed with.

You're right. Of course you are. But for effective policing by consent, optics matter. And it looks very much from the outside that the met act immediately and unthinkingly on the government or some oligarch's behest, and have scant regard for protecting women and have no idea how to police diverse communities.

I’m merely saying that whatever that vile woman Patel goes after, seems to have the opposite effect

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Seeing as it's the 2nd time you've brought this up, could you explain why you think the two events are linked?

Only a fixed amount of police officers and police time. They do seem to often waste it.

As is your post. No one has compared the two other than Patel generating support for both.

Don't read this if you're eating:

Long story short the Times spiked the Carrie Symonds Foreign Office job story because No. 10 were afraid they'd report on BJ getting a BJ.

My God ! I can't believe any sane woman would give Johnson a blowjob unless she had a gun against her head....looks like she's got the job she wanted then after all.

I'm sorry, I beat you to this one on post 10044 yesterday. Mind you, it bears repeating.

It does because Liz Truss is an absolute moron, just like three quarters of the cabinet.

Seriously, how does anyone so untrustworthy and incompetent get a gig like that? It is absolutely astonishing.

Sorry, but I have to take issue with that.

I agree that it would be absolutely astonishing under any normal circumstances, but considering who is appointing the Cabinet, somewhat less so

You really do clutch at straws. He didn’t “compare” them. He cited them as two examples.

Boris Johnson is facing a fresh threat from Conservative rebels planning a takeover of the powerful backbench committee that could force the prime minister from office.

Opponents of Johnson, including some who were loyal to him as recently as last week, have set their sights on a “clean sweep” of the 1922 Committee amid a hardening of the mood against the prime minister.

The campaign to oust Johnson in the last no-confidence vote was disjointed, but rebels are said to be “getting ruthlessly organised”.
