Today in Parliament Square we have seen the eco-terrorists of Insulate Britain turn up and block roads yet again. We have also seen, sadly also yet again the Metropolitan Police fail to quickly deal appropriately with this group.
Whilst it is to be applauded that eventually the Met did make thirty four arrests in relation to the actions of the eco-terrorists, their initial response to them by the Met, some of whom looked distinctly overweight (see image below) was to be useless, appeasing and pandering. Can you imagine any other protestor espousing any other cause being allowed to climb onto the top of a police van and get away with it? Of course they would not. Such protestors would have their heads kicked in by the Met before they even got the chance to climb.
According to one report on LBC, which was relayed by Guido Fawkes, when the eco-terrorists turned up, the response of the Met was not to immediately arrest them or move them on, but to run around picking up litter that the Insulate Britain clowns had dropped. I can’t help but wonder if rather than act as overpaid street cleaners by picking up the eco-terrorist’s litter, could not the eco-terrorists have been arrested for dropping the litter in the first place?
It appears that it was only after hard pressed and frustrated ordinary Britons started to give the eco-terrorists a piece of their minds that the Met actually bothered to get off of their fat, pandering arses and arrest the members of Insulate Britain who were blocking access to Parliament Square. Members of the public quite rightly called the Insulate Britain protestors ‘fascists’ who would not tolerate other people’s point of view and also in my view very correctly, blamed the piss poor police response to yet another Insulate Britain protest on London’s equally piss poor Commissioner of Police Dame Cressida Dick.
Hard to argue with the sentiments express in this posting as everything said is true but sadly not only of the Met. Our local police are practically useless when it comes to day to day police work as indeed it seems are many others or maybe all of them for all I know.
I agree the problems with biased and bent policing, wasting money and time on diversity guff and politicisation of the police are not confined to the Met.
As an aside but still on the subject of policing, I’m reeling from from what I’ve read over at Graham Linehan’s Substack. It concerns a Scottish woman who has made an allegation that she was raped by someone that she once trusted but cannot bring herself to get in contact with either Police Scotland or Rape Crisis Scotland. Her reasons are reasonable ones. She wants to be seen by a female officer or deal with a rape crisis group run by women. The problem is neither of these things are possible in the PC dystopia north of the border. The rape crisis service for Scotland is run by a transgender who is alleged to have a worrying obsession with rape fantasies and women who orgasm whilst being raped, whilst Police Scotland cannot guarantee this rape victim a genuine natal female officer to speak to. Police Scotland is dominated by the view that ‘trans women are women’ and they are not bending from this position even for a rape victim.
This woman is so frightened of being called a ‘bigot’ or worse, being fitted up for an ‘anti trans’ ‘hate crime’ that she’s not going to involve the police.
