The Thin Red Line

Although you do have to go back a while to find really serious confrontation, relations between, on one side, the Police, and, on the other, the Left and the trade unions, have not always been the warmest.

But we have never lit the tips of arrows and fired them at the Police, for which someone was given three years today, and which indicated how much fear of the Police these people had. It was only when they expected our lot to be in attendance that they went to ground. Arranged by the Police? I couldn't possibly comment. 

Still, only three years. For that. Yet the media narrative is a relentless promotion of the myth of "top level sentencing". What would bottom level sentencing have been? Already legally guilty, the Aldershot lot have been bailed. After all, their newly elected Labour MP had endorsed their actions at the time.

Like the equally disgraceful MPs for Tamworth, and for Rochester and Strood, she remains in receipt of the Labour whip, because the Government had wanted the streets to run with black, brown and blue blood in order to justify the immemorial wish list of attacks on civil liberties. The blues called us in to save all three colours of lives, and to save liberty. Infirm though I am, and perhaps because I am, here as on the sounder side of the Church I have become something of a consigliere. So I can say that we did. We famously did.
