Met boss was right to attack reckless politicians who meddled cluelessly in the Chris Kaba shooting aftermath
Race-war folly
THE attack by Britain’s top cop on reckless politicians who meddled cluelessly in the Chris Kaba shooting aftermath is entirely justified.
Indeed Met boss Sir Mark Rowley’s speech is one every MP should heed.
When Kaba was killed the opportunist Left piled in, stirring up a racism storm, painting him as an innocent victim and demanding justice.
We expect nothing better from Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott.
Nor London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who never saw a divisive race bandwagon he didn’t want to jump on.
But why did others wade in with instant, uninformed judgements
The truth is now clear. Kaba rammed an armed police roadblock in a two-ton car.
He was a vicious gangster linked to two shootings.
A jury unanimously exonerated the cop who shot him.
Those MPs stoked a dangerous anti-police narrative unjustified by the case.
Which not only makes it harder to confront the lure of violent gangs to young black men.
It makes cops fear their every action, even in protecting the public, could land them in the dock.
The more cautious that makes them, says Sir Mark, the less safe the public is.
Will those MPs show an ounce of contrition? We won’t hold our breath.
Farmers foiled
YOU can stand on the street with impunity screaming for a new Jewish genocide.
Chant for violent “intifada”, praise Hamas even, and the chances are you’ll get away with it.
So what “legal issues” can have prevented a peaceful National Farmers’ Union demo against Labour’s appalling Family Farms Tax?
Who raised them?
Jeremy Clarkson even intended to drive other farmers to London in a coach — not in tractors, blocking roads or spraying manure at public buildings as Just Stop Oil would have (again, with probable impunity).
As our Jezza says, he should have led a convoy bedecked in Palestine flags.
They’d have had the freedom of the city.
Clooney loons
THE scapegoating of George Clooney is the maddest Democrat excuse yet.
We are told that by urging frail Joe Biden to step down the left-leaning Hollywood star exposed Kamala Harris to an election she was ill-equipped for.
But Clooney was right.
The idea they might have done better with a man whose faculties are long past the point of presidential competence is risible.
And this says so much about Democrat denialism.
First they claim Republican “fascists” voted for “hate”, “racism” and so on.
Now the bloke from Ocean’s Eleven is to blame. Anything but confront the truth:
Harris was terrible.
Trump simply had far greater voter appeal.
