Will they be getting down on one knee and asking them in a nice subservient manner to go home, so as not be accused of racism or anything ?....god forbid they dont kow tow to minority demands...

I was thinking more 'Some Enchanted Evening' Mozz, (a la Benny Hill...)

[Mozz71]

Good to see that they nicked P*ssy Pete. I just can't help but think that the outrage for his actions would've been quadrupled had he been a different colour.

[shoota]

Charged with 'Outraging Public Decency' - old'un but gold'un.
The vast majority of coppers are as anti extreme right as they are extreme left Mozz.

[tiggerblue10]

Lol ;o)

Possibly so Mozz. I like to think that everyone would be treated in the same manner for their actions regardless of who they are.

[Mozz71]

Good to hear Shoota. I wasn't aiming a dig at the coppers though, they're just doing their jobs. The observation about his race was aimed more at the media, and lets be honest, places like AB.

I was expecting people to disagree with my post earlier in the thread but I have to confess that I'm surprised that they haven't even bothered reading it.

By definition, this is a complex issue. It's not going to be possible to discuss it in short posts. Also, the reference to "lecture" was tongue-in-cheek. I was just setting out my views as best I could.

[jim360]

Oh, do tell what the last part of your post means, Togo :)

//It's not going to be possible to discuss it in short posts. //

Others seem to manage.

[jim360]

Not really. Even 4,000 characters doesn't even scratch the surface of how complicated this all is.

[naomi24]

Yes, really.

[jim360]

I'm a firm believer in the idea that everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. I don't agree for a second that short paragraphs can fully capture the complexity of this issue and it's a conceit to suggest otherwise.

[naomi24]

Conceit? How appropriate. No one's stopping you pontificating, Jim. Just choosing whether or not they can be bothered to read it.

[jim360]

I suppose I don't mind people not reading it either -- of course they can choose. What bothers me is that people took the time to say that they didn't. That seems unnecessary at best.

[naomi24]

Shrug.

They were just trying to ensure that you were getting the appropriate encouragement Jim Lad.
