Our police and media leaders let us down again
In this country we have a proud tradition of avoiding extremism. In the 30's our fascist party was a joke, largely ridiculed and ignored by the people though somewhat indulged by elements of the wealthier classes.
The rise of the danegerous and unpleasant BNP as a sustainable and electorally succesful force is a relatively recent phenomenon. We are still able to be proud of our countries tolerance - we dont have Le Pen nor do we have a society that would put Le Pen in 2nd place in presedential elections. But we have seen the rise of the BNP in a British society that has never before given material support to such a fringe entity.
What we see below is an illustration of why this is happening.

This was a real puzzle. Here we had 12-year old girls being assaulted in the most disgraceful manner and the police response was, to say the least, odd.
The real story.

When will the politically correct classes figure this out? The way to defeat racism in our country is to have laws that are absolutely blind to a persons enthnicity. When average people in this county discover - as they always do - that the forces of law and the powers in the media conspire to hide facts purely on race grounds, how can this not feed resentment and give legitimacy to the claims of the odious BNP?
Of course, if the ethnicity of the people involved in this case were reversed, I have no doubt that our leaders response would equally be reversed and the full weight of the media and law would bear down on any guilty parties. A response we would all applaud. It beggars belief that we have reached a stage where children are left with less protection for reasons of political correctness.
