Dogged By Doubt

Essa Suleiman was released from the Maudsley Hospital only days ago, so ask Wes Streeting about that. The Swindon Advertiser called Suleiman "a crazed knifeman" after he had attacked a fellow Somali before stabbing two Police Officers and a dog. Was the dog Jewish? And that was in January 2008. Was that the work of Iran, too, or has Suleiman only subsequently risen through the ranks of the mysterious Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia?

Was Suleiman acting on behalf of the Revolutionary Guard Corps at around 8:50 yesterday morning, when he inflicted minor knife injuries on an occupant of an address in South East London? The Police were called, but they had clearly let him go by 11:15. Yet they have the gall to break pre-election purdah, not to say the Police Regulations 2003, by making public Mark Rowley's letter to Zack Polanski.

Not least, that was for Polanski's embarrassment of Ed Balls, which may yet be the end of the spectacle of a Labour former Cabinet Minister who interviewed current Labour Cabinet Ministers including his own wife. If it were, then the Epstein Class's punishment beating of Polanski may well be literal. Even after he had been Tasered. The Orgreave defendants were acquitted, but none of their assailants has ever been charged, and nor has anyone who tried to frame the miners on behalf of those domestic terrorists, the Enemy Within. The Hillsborough 97 were apparently unlawfully killed by no one. And so on.

Prevent is based on a proven hoax, but be that as it may, when Suleiman was referred to it, then the responsible Ministers were Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick, so Nigel Farage can wind his neck in as surely as the party of which Braverman and Jenrick were then members. Farage and Jenrick are Reform UK's candidates for First and Second Lord of the Treasury, but neither of them could bring himself to vote to refer the present First Lord to the Privileges Committee because Farage's own funding was about to be referred to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, with the Electoral Commission also weighing in today, while Jenrick's funding already had been.

Everyone sounding off about Golders Green ought to be paying close attention to the trial of the Ukrainian rent boys. Today, we learned that El Money spoke perfect Ukrainian as well as Russian, meaning that he was almost certainly a Ukrainian, since, unlike the reverse, very few Russians are fluent in Ukrainian. An EL, who may or may not have been El Money, sent Stanislav Carpiuc four photographs of Islamic centres in London with their doors circled, and El Money offered to pay Roman Lavrynovych to put up posters in a Southall calling, in a font stylised to look like Hindi, for Islamic centres to be banned while bearing a QR code and the legend, "London will be free when we learn the lessons of Ayodhya." If you need to, then look it up.

But as when Hindu and Muslim youths fought pitched battles on the streets of Leicester in the summer of 2022, or as with last year's anti-Romanian pogrom in Ballymena, or any other example that you cared to cite including the grooming gangs, then do not hold your breath for a COBRA meeting or for any talk of a national emergency. And when it came to banning hate preachers, then be careful what you wish for. Those would be hate preachers as defined by Keir Starmer.
