The Pussification of the Police and the Power of the "R" Word.

Well, it looks like the Police is fully committed to Political Russification. Except my cat has sharper teeth than the PC Police ever will.

So far we've seen the decades-long refusal to act over Religious Asian grooming gangs lest the Police be called racist.

The same thing is happening with the violent protesters causing criminal damage on the various protests across the country.

Thankfully the idiot that pissed on the Police memorial in Westminster has rightfully been prosecuted. I assume that was a step to far eh? Pissing on a fellow Police officer's memorial stone?

But what about the rest of us that are just as horrified watching statues lobbed into harbours, decapitated or defaced? Why can't we have the satisfaction on seeing those responsible apprehended and prosecuted.

No satisfaction for us. Instead the Police kneel in subjugation. Such is the power of a single adjective word beginning with R.

The statue in Bristol was a listed monument, damage to which can carry a 10-year prison sentence. So lets smack down those very identifiable students that did the deed. Let the Police ruin their lives and make an example of them.

Why is it those of us of a lower class have to fear our daily interactions with the Police, but a middle-class mob of students and hangers-on don't? Why do they get to act with impunity? Is it because we can't afford to sue? Are we denied justice, fairness and respect because we are poor? It seems that way.

No, it's Racism, or the risk of being called racist, that's what. The word that has paralysed the Police for decades in towns and cities across the country. The word that has allowed the rape of thousands of young girls. Children not even teenagers co-opted into drug addiction, rape and prostitution.

Think if the children... it seems only when it suits.

Think of law and order, only when it suits.

Justice....only when it suits.

Go after the anti-racist mob and you are therefore a racist apparently. Even if they broke the law, doing it in the name of anti- racism or anti-fascism appears to be a get out of jail free card.

Racism. It's always been a very powerful word. No it seems it has to power to grant you immunity from the law.

BLM: Middle-Class White People Destroy Afro-Caribbean Heritage.

So with all of this disruption and destruction of statues, of anything linked to slavery (might as well nuke Bristol, Liverpool and London then), is it me, but all I'm seeing is a bunch of privileged middle-class white students destroying images, icons and other things that are important to Afro-Caribbean heritage.

For instance those few African or Caribbean heritage people that can trace their roots back to being slaves (if you can't move on after 2 centuries and four or more generations), should be able to look at a statue of a slave-trader and say "that's part of our heritage, we were enslaved but we beat slavery and moved on.."

But thanks to those white kids erasing everything with slave connotations, where will people of slave heritage actually be able to see their heritage?

It's almost as if the people were erasing anything of Scottish heritage in England, or anything of Welsh heritage.

If the people that were worst affected by this were doing the pulling down of statues, or asking for them to be removed, then I can understand it. But the people loudest and proudest at the protests are the most white, the most privileged, university graduates.

Maybe we need to lump these people in with Holocaust deniers: the people that would deny, or erase swathes of history from the landscape for ideological reasons.

We need tose icons, those landmarks, that history. Not only to show where we were back then, but to show how far we have come, to give those people directly affected some history, some sense of where they have come from.

COVID-19: Viral Load.

There is increasing evidence coming out of research that the amount of viral load you get of COVID-19 affects how badly you are affected by the virus.

So for instance a minimal passing contact with an infected person may only allow the minimum of viral particles to enter your system. Or possibly touching a surface with already weakened virus on it.
In this instance you may only suffer mild effects of the virus. There isn't enough viral load to overwhelm your immune system.

However, if you are exposed to a large dose of viral particles for an extended period, then there is a higher chance you will be affected severely by the virus.

So, the watchword is stay alert: make sure you keep your distance from people, make sure any contact is fleeting and wear a decent mask.

Avoid sitting in close proximity to people outside your close family group for extended periods of time, especially indoors.

When indoors in stores, keep your distance and make any close proximity fleeting.

Common sense really.
