Mark Duggan was an unattractive character, but he was unarmed when, 10 years ago today, he was hunted to death as part of an organised competitive sport such as had also been played in the mining communities during the Strike.
Protest erupted across young, poor and black Britain, leading to all-night court sittings to impose draconian penalties in double quick time, with no pretence to due process, but secure in the knowledge that the young, the poor and the black could do nothing about it. And who was the Director of Public Prosecutions in 2011? I'll give you three guesses. Oh, you got it in one. Well done, you.
Of course people "know what Keir Starmer stands for". Unless you wanted the prize-givings for this organised competitive sport of hunting the young, the poor and the black to be held in 10 Downing Street, then do not vote for any parliamentary candidate who even pretended to believe that Starmer ought to become Prime Minister. Do not vote Labour for the House of Commons while he remained Leader.
No wonder they hate you so much, you should be very proud of that.
ReplyDeleteI am.
DeleteAfter the 2011 uprising Starmer as DPP coordinated with Labour as well as Tory councils to evict activists' relatives from social housing. He had previously refused to prosecute the police who had killed Jean Charles de Menezes because he'd had "Mongolian eyes" and was therefore a potential terrorist.
ReplyDeleteStarmer is a hardcore racist fanatic of many decades' standing, and we are going to get him for it.
DeleteThis wasn't at all your view of Duggan (also mixed heritage) 10 years ago, the intervening period has made a Black man of you.
ReplyDeleteAn awful lot has happened in the last 10 years.
