Recently I came across Sunday Times bestselling author Matt Goodwin’s Facebook and following his introduction to an article on his Substack, am pleased but not surprised that he, too, notices the HUGE effect I explain in the previous post of the tyrannical effect of diversity, equity Inclusion policies upon policing.

First, recall my prayer:

Lord, please help that officer to live with and come to peace over such a devastatingly mistaken, harrowing action after having been lied to by the ‘witnesses’.

 

Pertinent extracts from Matt’s 6-page article:

‘…How have we ended up living in a country where the members of one minority ethnic group can legally carry a deadly weapon while it is illegal for women to carry pepper spray to help defend themselves?

But we must go much further than this.

Because, as I said on BBC Politics Live, yesterday, the truth is that Henry’s murder lies downstream of a much deeper and perverse ideology that has entrenched anti-white racism into the very fabric of our institutions.

For thirty years now, a succession of Tory and Labour governments have imposed a sprawling regime of political correctness, hate speech laws, speech codes, and ‘diversity, equality and inclusion’ (DEI) policies, much of which is code for discriminating against white people.

The end result, as a whistleblower from Hampshire police, the same authority that responded to Henry Nowak, made clear to journalist Alison Pearson (RB: link below) this week, is that the police are now told to respond to different ethnic groups in different ways, while police officers themselves are promoted and evaluated not on the basis of their performance but, crudely, on the basis of their race and ethnicity.

Consider how absurd this debate has become.

Only yesterday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer once again told the British people and the country “there is no such thing as two-tier policing”.

Yet, this morning, policy chiefs openly say they will review guidance, published by the National Police Chiefs’ Council, that specifically advises police officers to treat ethnic minorities differently.

As journalist David Shipley points out, you can see this two-tier policing in Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, the very police force responsible for Henry’s arrest.

Recently, like every other police force across the land, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary produced a ‘Race Action Plan’, with all the usual buzz words that symbolise this new ideology….

‘For those of us who want to acknowledge this difficult truth, the path ahead is clear.

We need to root out the ‘Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion’ agenda from our taxpayer-funded institutions. We need to overturn the blatant politicisation of not only the police but our schools, universities, health service, and government institutions, all of which define themselves as ‘anti-racist’ organisations, meaning they are politically compromised and openly biased against the majority in favour of minorities.

And we need to get back to being a country that treats everybody equally and fairly before the law, irrespective of their race and ethnicity.

Because if we don’t, then we will only see more chaos and carnage in the years and decades ahead, of the sort we saw on the streets of Southampton last night.

Increasingly, unless we change course, white people will reach the conclusion they are second-class citizens in their own nations, and under their own taxpayer-funded public institutions, and, inevitably I fear, this groundswell of resentment, much of it legitimate, will push us down a much darker path.

Meanwhile, the inescapable reality of two-tier justice will continue to erode public trust and confidence in not only policing and the criminal justice system but the entire system of government.

Nobody wants to see this happen. Nobody wants to see our country and civilisation descend like this…’
