OTB,
Local councils in the U.K have a very different role to those in Australia, Rotherham has has no real analogue in this country but what is disturbing is the number of Australian public servants, Police officers and private consultants who are of British origin and who were schooled in that system.
We've always attracted the dregs of the British professions unfortunately, the chances of the kind of incompetence and wrongdoing which have come to light in Rotherham only become more likely the more British public servants and educators we have.

What's interesting about Eric Pickles' report to the British parliament is that it points out other serious flaws in the administration of services in Rotherham, the lack of enforcement of basic compliance guidelines in other areas, laxity in areas like Mini Cab licensing and business permits allowed this noxious Pakistani element to operate in the community.
Increasing red tape and everyday interference by government in people's lives is probably the most obvious effect of multiculturalism, getting public servants to overcome their own biases and apply those rules equally to all citizens regardless of ethnic background seems to be a bigger challenge than convincing the individual citizen to accept them.

AJ Philips those posts could only have come from an academic, trying to cover up academic deficiency, & apply for a grant at the same time.

Obviously you & your mates have your eyes wide shut to the growing no go zones in our cities. Zones where real Ozzies dare not go, & even most cops won't venture.

My son was attacked on the edge of a no go zone, in pure ethnic violence. This is one of the techniques of expanding those no go zones. There was no attempt to rob him, just to injure. Of course an academic would never live in such an area, so can assume they don't exist.

You people are more sympathy with ethnic academics than the people who pay your salaries, & are really not worth bothering with. You are blood brothers of the band on the Titanic. Keep on fiddling.

Hasbeen,

If you have to resort to name calling, then you have well and truly lost the argument. As I’ve mentioned twice before, I’m not a professional academic. Although I’m flattered that you consider me intelligent enough to be one.

It seems we’ve now drifted over to “no-go zones”. How did we get there when you still haven’t linked all the fragmented ideas in your previous posts? You haven’t even explained what you mean by “academic cops”, and now you’ve introduced this new concept of “academic ethnics”. Good Lord!

Do you think that reverting back to the days of old, where police were all big burly men that practiced a reactive-only style of policing, is going to solve anything? How are all the proactive measures of contemporary policing strategies inferior to just having big burly brutes? How have you determined that (contrary to any study that has ever been conducted on these issues) the advantages of having a police force consisting of nothing but big burly brutes, that are only reactive and not proactive, would outweigh the benefits of successfully reducing crime with countless preventative measures? You don’t even know what any of these strategies are, do you? You’ve just assumed the causes of, and the solutions to, the problems you mention. And through the lens of your white male privilege at that!

Speaking of our white male privilege and cops in high heels, how is an entire force filled with big burly men going to be helpful to women who have been sexually assaulted and want to report it? Do you think they’re going to be comfortable with that? Is it any wonder sexual assaults were never reported “back in the day”? Police need to be representative of the general population to achieve full legitimacy and co-operation with the public. Having female police is not just about political correctness. And what about the Indian fellow who respects the legitimacy of our police institutions and is more comfortable with them because he was once pulled over by a turban-wearing cop? You’ve never thought of any of this, have you?

You just sit back comfortably in your world of white male privilege and assume that there is some political correctness conspiracy going on, without the slightest thought concerning, or knowledge of, any of the issues beyond your own experiences.

According to conspiracy theorists like yourself, academics are these eccentric people who live tucked away in their “ivory towers”, far removed from the real world, and sit around all day and dreaming up quaint little ideas that they can use the rest of the world as one big test case for their "social experiments". In reality, however, lawmakers make changes based on the advice of these people because they have spent a lot of time gathering and collating mountains of data and evidence for any of the changes that they may propose.

You live in your own bubble of ignorance protected with conspiracies of academics and their alleged data fiddling without the slightest shred of evidence for any of your claims, or the slightest thought to just how insanely far-fetched such suggestions are. Apparently a young tech guy can embarrass many countries by revealing their intelligence to the world; an American president can be exposed as a philanderer by his intern, and yet millions of academics all manage to all keep a big secret for their New World Order without anyone blowing the whistle. Out of 10,000 emails, not even climategate could reveal anything but a small handful of lines that sounded suspicious when taken out of context.

You need a serious reality check, Hasbeen.

It was outrageous that gun wielding thugs were threatening motorists. A free new car and a bravery award are due to the motorist who sorted one of them.

The chopper needs a marksman on deck at all times for opportunities that present and can be created.

Yet another case to show that the Howard-inspired 'gun control' is all expensive bureaucracy that wastes police time and is not aimed at illegal guns and does SFA towards reducing or preventing violence with or without guns.

Dear Jay,

Absolutely brilliant post.

Thank You!
