Twat Of The Week

[Officer Dibble]

I award this week's title to - SIR IAN BLAIR!

What a cunt, eh? - Saying he can't understand why everyone got so upset about Ian Huntley murdering those sweet little girls on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.

And that's after he blatantly lied about not knowing his men had shot dead a totally innocent man, just to save his own face. He's the worst kind of Chief Constable - a pompous, arrogant, super-middleclass twat. You can just tell by his demeanour and voice that he detests having to be polite to the members of the lower orders who have the temerity to question him, the state, and the law. But his poncy political correctness forbids him from telling them that they are dammed impertinent and they have no business questioning their betters. What a wanker. The sooner he gets the sack the better.

Personally, I would nominate 'Jack Regan' (of 'The Sweeny') for top cop. Though I'm always on the wrong side of the counter down at the cop shop, jack Regan is my kind of cop. A no nonsense, no bullshit, non-poncy cop, who both villains and his own men could respect. Jack Reagan wouldn't stand for any lip from either street scum or self-important, self-righteous, middleclass tossers alike ? he?d just say "SHUT IT, YOU SLAG!!


Officer Dibble - a copper's copper

Blair is the epitome of the top cop as political lickspittle.

Oh God, agreeing with Dibble. Again!

Heaven help me.

How are you enjoying Life On Mars, Dibbsy? A real trip down memory lane, eh?

[steve56]

reagan was a good cop .he had all the answers too.

[Rude Boy]

He sure is one hell of a wanker. I'm sure he made the parents feel just wonderful with those comments and made them the centre of attention again. A totally useless, political correctness spouting, Gatso hugging tosser.

[Officer Dibble]

Yeah, remember that time Regan and Carter went round to question the wife of a bank blagger - only she was parading round the house topless, and when Jack and George entered the lounge she turned round and waddled her tits at them, sneering "Get a good eyeful did ya'?" She was a right sorty piece as well. Y? don?t get anything like that in today?s boring, poncy, PC police series. They?re all about wanky ?ishooos? and minority rights.

Sir Ian Blair was trying to justify his view that the murder of black people does not excite the media interest that the murder of middle-class or upper-class white people does. He was foolish indeed to try and illustrate that point by using Soham as an example. However is not his view questionable anyway? It cannot be argued that the murders of Stephen Lawrence, Damilola Taylor, Anthony Walker and Letitia Shakespeare did not have massive media coverage. I think there is a further worrying aspect on how we are policed hidden here.

We are constantly being told that the local population should have more say on how the community is policed. More democratic accountability it is called. This is all very well but the problem is that the police will often listen to the people who have either the biggest gob or the most clout, generally middle class white people. An independent minded police chief who does listen to minorities will always be slapped down by his political masters at the town hall because these are not the people who are voting them in power.

The problem of race relations in this country is that it is being led by the politically correct, chattering classes, who have little or no knowledge of what life is like in the sink estates. Many of the people who they perceive as racist are nothing of the kind but their views merely reflect what they see around. Many middle class people who pontificate about racism actually share the view of Dorothy Parker, who once said "No one can say I don't like black people, why I wouldn't think of employing a white servant."

I do have some difficulty understanding these people who are always banging on about returning to a Dixon of Dock Green type of policing. The chances of a single officer on foot actually catching a burglar, for example, are small. Dibble does have a point about a Regan style of policing. The trouble is that he would be up in front of a discipline board and out in no time these days!

Blair was pointing out a fact: that when kids who aren't pretty, white and middle class go missing, the media tends to be disinterested.

You remember the teenage model Sally-Anne Bowman who got murdered recently?

Do you remember another teenager Rochelle Holness, who was murdered and dismembered around the same time?

Sally-Anne was a pretty blonde teenager (17,700 Google hits). Rochelle was black (2,330 Google hits). I think Blair has a point.

[strictlybroadband]

I've found an article on this very point:

I think this proves Blair's point, doesn't it?

[slamdaddy]

That's kind of a flawed argument, there's only so much time on a news program, and only so many pages in the newspapers, you can't possibly fit every single missing person or murder into them, there'd never be anything else on TV if you did.
It could also be argued that the reverse is true, how many murders of white teenagers occurred at the same time as the murders of Stephen Lawrence, Damilola Taylor, Anthony Walker, Charlene Ellis and Letitia Shakespeare? Out of all of those, how many did you actually hear about?

[strictlybroadband]

"how many murders of white teenagers occurred at the same time as the murders of Stephen Lawrence, Damilola Taylor, Anthony Walker, Charlene Ellis and Letitia Shakespeare?"

Teenage murders are pretty rare events in this country, especially brutal "stranger murders". I guess we'd need more stats, but the Sally-Anne/Rochelle stats are relevant because they are very similar crimes committed within 3 days of each other.

I remember the Sally-Anne coverage dwelling a lot on the fact that she was a model - that kind of thing always excites the tabloids. Likewise, they seem to prefer reporting murders where rape was involved vs. straight non-sexual murders. They know it titillates at least some of their readers, even if they'd never admit it.
