Mirza resigned as a direct result. She was concerned about Savile victims etc. Johnson did not give a damn. |
After all the shit Boris has pulled over the years you think this relatively trivial comment would cause his advisors to resign en masse? No. They were on their way out regardless. |  | |  |

Everytime the Left tries to cancel/silence somebody, whether they be politicians or anybody else, the Left will be held to account - we will force the Left to hold themselves to the standards that they want to impose on everybody else...Boris has a lot of faults but at least he understands this simple fact; 'do not apologise or submit, the people despise the likes of Starmer/Trudeau/Biden etc.' Despise them. We all want the bullshit to stop. The more the Left pushes against this reality the deeper they are digging their own grave. It is really time for the Left to grow up, swallow some pride, admit that they are wrong about several things and reform themselves to be more palatable. [Post edited 9 Feb 2022 23:32]

I haven’t got a great deal of time for most politicians and she’s one who sits in that box, as is Boris. His remark about Saville was rehearsed, wrong and out of order. I agree with your comments on Bull..., we need people to stop spinning the guff and speak the truth, people should be able to say what they like as long as it doesn’t constitute a criminal offence. |  | |  |

Let's flip it... Boris gets up one morning and says; “We cannot get any worse than a bunch of scum, anti-semitic, racist, misogynistic, Marxist, tyrannical, censorious… banana republic, vile, nasty, Oxbridge … piece of scum.” How would you feel as somebody who votes Labour? What do you think about the fact that the Left demands standards and respect from their political opponents but is not prepared to submit themselves to the same standards or be respectful to their opponents? |  |

As I said in my original response, the use of the word scum is completely and utterly unacceptable. The other point I made was to clarify something you’d said which was incorrect - Rayner never used the word scum to describe Conservative voters. I don’t vote Labour, I believe politicians (and others) of all parties should treat people with dignity, respect, they should be honest and selfless and these are in my opinion non negotiable. |  | |  |

This fact is indisputable. The vast majority are carried out by Islamists and the vast majority of Muslims vote Labour. So it would not be inaccurate to state that the vast majority of terrorist attacks are carried out by the Left...although I would not make that point, I'm just pointing out the innacuracy of those Lefties who claim that it is right wingers who present a domestic terrorist threat, that's bullshit. |  |

I believe that too. It's just that the Left have advanced their causes by demanding that people treat them with dignity and respect whilst not giving it back in return. They have been getting away with it and normal people, who are not political, get bulldozed by the Left as a result. No more. Until they live by the standards that they demand and expect from others then they will get no respect from me. If they are fine with their leaders labelling people like me scum then they will have to live with being called "scum" themselves. One story that never made sense to me was the one about "turning the other cheek". I always thought, even as a child; 'if you keep turning your cheek then eventually they are going to smack your head right off' |  |

Most of the republican side during The Troubles were left wing nutters. The Official IRA and INLA were openly Marxist. You've also then got Baader-Meinhof, the Red Brigades and many others. |  |

| Sadiq Khan on 13:22 - Feb 14 with 959 views | Ajack_Kerouac | 'The Metropolitan Police Federation withdrew its support for the Labour politician after Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick was forced out of her position last week. The body accused the London Mayor of "scaremongering" and "undermining" the trust in the police by swiping at their work. In a strongly-worded statement, Mr Khan was blamed for using Dame Cressida as a scapegoat to distract from his own performance. "What we are viewing is politicians trying to use policing and the career of the country’s most senior police leader to deflect from their own failings," Ken Marsh, Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation said. "The atmosphere among Metropolitan Police officers is horrendous — its rock bottom. "Officers in London feel saddened and angry that The Commissioner Cressida Dick has been pushed out in the way she has. "She was reforming. She was changing. The culture is changing. We are deeply disappointed with the actions of the Mayor." Mr Khan warned on February 9 that he expected Dame Cressida to present him with a plan to help rebuild trust in the police after a series of scandals. There has been heavy criticism over its apparent hesitation to launch an investigation into alleged parties held in Downing Street, fury over the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer, and anger at the force's actions following her death in tackling a vigil held in her memory during coronavirus restrictions. The final straw, however, was a report by the police watchdog which exposed violently racist, misogynist and homophobic messages exchanged by officers based at Charing Cross police station. The Met Police Commissioner presented the Mayor with a plan 24 hours later on February 10, but he dismissed it as not enough and effectively said he had no confidence in her ability to carry out the top job. Dame Cressida submitted her resignation on the same day. Lashing out at Mr Khan's behaviour, Mr Marsh continued: "The hard work of our colleagues — and public trust in our colleagues — is being undermined by politicians. And by the Mayor of London in particular. "The continuing scaremongering, sniping and sweeping statements are causing disaffection with the public, not the thousands and thousands of hard-working officers who are out there keeping people safe. "These officers are being unfairly lambasted for things they haven’t done. Every minute of every day — as we speak — thousands of Metropolitan Police colleagues are out there putting their safety at risk, tackling knife crime and robbery, countering terrorism, capturing child sex offenders, locking up bad people. "The Federation will continue to speak up for these courageous colleagues. They are being forgotten about by our elected Mayor. Enough is enough. Officers have no faith in Sadiq Khan." He added the decision was "not a move we take lightly". The Federation said while there was a need for reform, Mr Khan was to blame for painting all serving officers with the same brush. Mr Marsh continued: "The incidents that have taken place are horrific. We do not want these individuals in the job. "But the Federation will continue to speak up for our good officers. We totally accept that we have to deliver for the public and work to improve confidence, but if you haven’t got your workforce with you then you are not going to achieve what you’re setting out to achieve. "My colleagues are working day and night to keep London safe. To be all branded in this shaming and negative way — as they are being by some politicians and many sections of the media — is wholly unfair." Home Secretary Priti Patel has now started the search to find a successor for Dame Cressida. Home Office sources said Mr Khan did not inform Ms Patel of his intention to declare no confidence in the Met Police chief last week. They said she thought the Mayor's behaviour was "rude and unprofessional". |  |
