Dianne Abbott opens the debate

The death of PC Keith Blakelock, an officer with the London Metropolitan Police, occurred on 6 October 1985 during rioting on the Broadwater Farm housing estate in Tottenham, north London. The violence broke out after a black woman died of heart failure during a police search of her home, and took place against a backdrop of unrest in several English cities and a breakdown of the relationship between the police and local black communities.

Labour MP Bernie Grant was one of the most charismatic black political leaders of modern times. His death on 8 April 2000 marked almost four decades campaigning for racial justice and minority rights. Though in life he was an outspoken maverick, in death, Bernie Grant was praised from the heights of the Establishment, from Cabinet ministers and Scotland Yard to political associates and black community leaders, and Prime Minister Tony Blair described Grant as "an inspiration to Black British communities everywhere".

For those too young to know or too simple of mind to recall, let us readdress the words of comfort to Constable Blakelock’s widow and children by a wonderful advocate of Racial Harmony, Bernie Grant.  “I now turn to my final point. I do notintend today to discuss at any length the conduct of Mr. Bernie Grant and his statement after the death of a police officer and the serious injury to many others, that the police have received a "bloody good hiding". The feelingsof the people of Tottenham were made clear when 1,000 local government workerswent on strike in protest at this statement.” .

If the English tribe has not learned that elements within the immigrant community hates their guts, then even the sight of brave persons evacuating the dead and wounded from London’s tube system becomes nothing more than an irrelevance.  Everything I see and read about Labours wonderful Dianne Abbott fills me with despair for our children’s future.  Dress her comments with whatever icing glaze you wish, her repeated attacks on the English would not be tolerated if the roles were reversed. And remember, when African chiefs were selling their own people into slavery, Britons were dying of malnutrition after working long hours for starvation pay on coal faces in deadly mine shafts, in ear shattering mills or digging the infrastructures that facilitated the Industrial Revolution.  That will not be taught in politically correct British school.
