What is more confusing is that the Met. Police say there is no evidence of the, at least 10, parties at Downing Street. So police officers do not search suitcases being brought into number 10? They do not have a log of who is in and out? They do not patrol the premises at all? All this is rather worrying? Is our PM not offered a gold standard security?
Or is the concern that Cressida Dick, having received some bullshit honours from Johnson feels it necessary to protect him? A similar ‘contract’ has been suggested regarding Johnson and Cummings Durham trip.
The fundamental concept of our democracy is the separation of Government, Judiciary and Religion. This government is seeking to reduce the power of the judiciary and place it in the hands of the executive as happens in most dictatorships both left and right. The police should be answerable to the Judiciary first and foremost. Priti Patel does not seem to comprehend the importance of being British. This is not racist – but personal – the reason why it is impossible to identify and itemise being British is because neither are possible. Being British is what we do – perhaps exemplified by our language. We accept and adapt words from all languages. Not for us the Académie Française – even schadenfraude has become an accepted part of our vocabulary. We adopt, adapt and assimilate – we do not rule like fascists or communists.
I hope that being British means not being a liar, misogynist, racist, homophobic, antisemetic, – I think the name is WOKE – proud to be woke.
