Many years ago in Zimbabwe, one got used to daily power cuts, food shortages and a chronic shortage of ⛽️!
I hadn’t planned on returning to Zimbabwe, and now I don’t have to, because Zimbabwe has come here!
Expected power cuts, expected food shortages and now no drivers to take fuel to the pumps. Welcome to broken Britain…or is it broken Zimbabwe? 🤔

 Allegedly, 5000 foreign lorry drivers are being stuffed around with strict visa control. These are people who will help the economy and indeed the ordinary man on the street during this time of uncertainty insanity! And yet around a thousand people a day paddle across the channel visa free! These people will not/never help the economy, or the ordinary man on the street, but to give credit where it’s due, they will increase the insanity in this country! 🐷 |

Some while back, there was world wide outrage over the killing of a person by a police officer…the outrage even extended as far as this site.
Quite recently another person was killed by a police officer.
The first person killed was a man, and he tragically died when the officer knelt on his neck.
The second person killed was a woman, and she tragically died when she was handcuffed, raped, strangled, her body doused in petrol and set alight, the remains of her body were then shoved in a black bag, and finally those remains were chucked in a pond!
No world wide outrage, (just a little chuntering in this country) and no outrage on this site…I wonder why?
Well actually I don’t wonder why!

I am outraged and angry about that case Mr Register. How the hell could somebody like that get through the vetting process to join the police in the first place? Sure as hell he has committed previous offences people don't start with a first offence like that. To make it even worse if that were indeed possible he used his powers as a police officer to facilitate the abduction. An horrific crime, and he has single handedly made the job of thousands of honest police officers both men and women ten times harder than it already is.
Your anger at this crime is well placed Mr Register.

I agree it was an appalling crime. I suppose one reason there has been no outrage on this forum is because none of us are women (I presume). I might have misread it somewhere, but hadn't this officer been accused of sexual offences (indecent exposure) whilst he was actually a serving officer? I mean what standards do they apply now for joining the police force?

I suppose because one was symptomatic of wider systematic abuse in the police system and was a trigger point while the other which was as you say, horrific was more of an one off from a rogue police officer. There has certainly been a lot of media coverage about Sarah Everard in this country but always very unlikely it would go International, for example did you know that 30 year old murders in the Paris area have just been solved after an ex policeman committed suicide in the south of France and left a note confessing to killings and his DNA was matched to the scenes at the time? |

One thing that hasn't been reported in the main stream media Rob / rjd is that the trial judge in the Everard case commended the police for their investigation and said that it was the most thorough and professional he had come across in 30 years as a judge.
You won't hear it on the media though they really do have some insidious agenda in action.
Last week they made the country run out of fuel (ironically by fuelling a problem), now this week they want everybody to be frightened of the police even encouraging women to run away if told they are under arrest!

Unfortunately the media’s main agenda is to sell and sensationalise their products and why let the truth get in the way of a good story…

You won't hear it on the media though they really do have some insidious agenda in action. Truly horrific case. Some coverage here of assistance made to the Judge in the case. Agree, it’s not media ‘friendly’ to publicise that side of things, stefano. Whilst the whole life tariff will be appealed, as nothing to lose and may be seen as hard to construe as ‘parliament’s intention’, it certainly appears one that fits the crime in this instance. Some will use it to beat the police, given recruitment, the indecent exposure and the fact his colleagues had already nicknamed him ‘rapist’, but like rjd says, these actions are not systemic. They are the vile actions of a vile individual in a position of trust and no reason to generalise about police officers in either this country or it’s capital. |

I would suggest that the difference between the two cases is that one was filmed throughout and the other was not, which is why the "outrage on this site" has been so limited. I should be very interested to know what our friend means when he says that he doesn't wonder why. What is his explanation for the lack of interest? That said, the murder of Sarah Everard was far worse and more upsetting and disgusting than the deliberate extinction of the life of George Floyd, when the horrific circumstances and motivation surrounding her death are compared. Chauvin's actions were those of a white supremacist, we all know that, but this British fellow, whose name does not bear mentioning, seems to have a psyche full of the most vile aspects of humanity, and I earnestly hope that he will indeed spend the rest of his rotten life behind bars. |

Morning Stewart.
As you say, one killing filmed and one not, although I feel your dramatic ‘deliberate extinction of the life’ words should be kept for the likes of Jihadi John and not for an over worked police officer doing his job. People do though put their own spin on things, and a lot of that outrage was a case of ‘monkey see-monkey do’, which is why so many women walk around with huge arses…because of watching Kim Kardashian on the tele!
The reasons I don’t wonder why, I have mentioned many times on this site, and if you spent more time trying to understand what I am saying rather than just ripping my posts apart, you would know.
More to follow, but there’s a break in the clouds and have to get the dogs out. 🐶

From the office for National Statistics.
There were 695 victims of homicide in the year ending March 2020, 47 more (7%) than the previous year; this figure includes the Grays lorry incident with 39 homicide victims – if this incident is excluded, homicide showed a 1% increase overall.
The homicide rate was 11.7 per million population, with the rate for males (17 per million population) almost three times that for females (6 per million population); this is a higher difference than previous years because of a 20% increase in the number of male victims, from 422 to 506, and a 16% decrease in the number of female victims, from 225 to 188.
The homicide rate over the three-year period to year ending March 2020 was 49.5 per million population for the Black ethnic group, approximately five times higher than for the White ethnic group (9.4 per million population).
Just under two-thirds (443 or 64%) of all homicide victims in the year ending March 2020 were from the White ethnic group. The number of Black victims in the last year, at 105, was the highest seen since the year ending March 2002 (107 victims).
There were 142 homicide victims aged 16- to 24-years-old, an increase of 32 on the previous year and a return to the relatively high levels seen in the year ending March 2018 (147).
The most common method of killing continued to be by a sharp instrument, with 275 homicides by this method, an increase of 15 offences (up 6%) compared with the previous year and the second highest annual figure since 1946.

Surely that lorry incident can’t be classed as murder can it? |

What has Kim Kardashian's ass to do with watching a murder on TV? |
