Tottenham Riot and Multicultural Bollocks

On August 5, the Sun newspaper reported

A GUNMAN was killed by cops last night in a shoot-out in which an officer survived when a bullet seemingly hit his radio.

He was downed by a marksman after firing first and hitting the officer. Witnesses said police had shouted at the man to stop but he ignored them.

...The officers had been attempting to carry out an arrest under Operation Trident, which deals with gun crime in the black community.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched an investigation into the shooting.

The incident, which occurred in the London suburb of Tottenham, prompted an overnight riot two days later during which, according to the Guardian's report, residents expressed their anger toward the police in the following ways:

One group pulled a safe out of the William Hill bookmakers while a boy, probably no more than 12, ran by with a television. Others came running with shopping trolleys to load up.

A few minutes later, a man with a mask approached us, accusing us of being police and warning us to leave or he would "fetch his friends".

... A large building not far from Bruce Grove tube station had been gutted. Its basement was once a jewellers. "A nice man," one of a pair of women standing on the corner said. "Now he's lost everything."

... Further down, the 1930s building once occupied by Carpetright was also gutted, its walls bowed and threatening to collapse.

"There were once flats above there, too," a woman [said] "They don't know if everyone got out," she said.

Concerning which, John Ward writes:

The Tottenham unpleasantness last night had all the hallmarks of a classic inner-city riot, the key catalysts for which are the police doing their job, black youths feeling their livelihood is being threatened ...

The tragedy these days is that, sadly, the Left will have a comeback against observations such as those above. Apart from the standard “You’re a racist dinosaur”, the shout will be “It’s the cuts”, followed by “The People are showing their disgust at social unfairness” and, very probably, “What, and you believe the police do you?” The greedy and corrupt in society have thus given this rabble and their sympathisers such excuses. There is, however, no excuse at all for West Indian gun-based lawlessness: it’s been with us for twenty years, and the profound social problems that derive from loose familial structures therein have been part of inner-city British life since the mid 1970s.

The difference now, I suspect, is that the days of fluffy tolerance are almost gone. And as the depression gets worse over the next year or so, it will disappear completely. But when it comes to gun-crime specifically, this is really a smokescreen for ‘hard-drugs dealing’. And in this area specifically, the British Establishment most certainly does have a case to answer.

The reality is that casual – ‘recreational’ – powder-sniffing is a major facet of our culture. Even in the highest circles of power – witness dead Tories in toilets (still no Coroner’s decision on that one, by the way) and nicknames like Tooting Norton. Which is why I have often said and written in the past that the Colombian marching powder may yet bring down Camerlot.

It appears that the underdog-loving, immigrant-embracing, law-an-order-hating lib-left have made a right hideous, corrupt, dangerous and disgusting mess of the old country.
