This snowflake woke policing has to end - coppers aren’t supposed to be social workers

Take a look. A long, hard, proper look. It’s what it looks like when one race of people attempts to eradicate another race of people from planet Earth.

For those who’s grasp of history extends no further than the last TikTok post, it’s called the Holocaust. And, back when Britain had finest hours, we helped end the Holocaust and overthrow the particularly nasty breed of humans behind this plan to erase the Jewish people who they hated simply for being Jewish.

And we called these people fascists. Nazis of course, in this case.

And after the Holocaust was stopped we, the good people, said: “Never Again.”

You’ll see the phrase carved into the walls at Dachau, and Treblinka and Buchenwald.

And if those names don’t make you sick to your stomach you probably need to get off TikTok and go to a library and read some books.

It is interesting isn’t it that those virtue-signaling lefty halfwits who continually berate “evil Britain” for slavery which ended more than two centuries ago still happily drive around in their BMWs, Audis and Volkswagens, clean their dishes in upmarket AEG dishwashers while sipping a cappuccino from their trendy Krupps coffee makers with zero acknowledgement that all these firms - and many more - worked slave labourers to death in the above mentioned concentration camps… within living memory.

It is interesting too that 10 years before signing up to any Declaration of Human Rights, and 12 years before the now basket-case ECHR was set up, Britain undertook one of the most vital and successful assimilation of immigrants in history when Neviile Chamberlain and others rescued 10,000 Jewish children in the wake of the dreadful Kristallnacht.

It was called the Kinder Transport and although woefully inadequate in the face of the six million scale of the Holocaust it remains a finest hour moment for the purity of its intentions.

It allowed 10,000 humans to survive the horrors visited on their families - the ghettos, the forced labour, the starvation and ultimately the production-line genocide of the death camps.

“Never Again” we said. And back then we probably meant it.

Fast forward to today - and that affirmation is looking decidedly shaky, a promise we are welching on.

We, democratic Britain in the third decade of the 21st century, have a police force apparently ready to arrest Jews simply for being Jews.

I refer of course to the exchange between chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism Gideon Falter and two as yet un-named police officers.

It’s hard not to feel for both sides of this equation. There is more than a whiff of agent provocateur about Mr Falter - of course there is - and yet his rights are his rights. Or should be.

Counter protests are an understandable and perhaps necessary part of British political life at street level.

And yet the police seem to have picked a side on this issue - and it’s hard not to conclude they’ve picked their side because no Jewish person ever placed a bomb on a Tube train.

They have picked that tried and tested British failure called appeasement.

But you feel too for the poor plods in uniform. Being a beat copper was probably hard enough anyway but now, because of their bizarrely virtue-signaling bosses “the job” has become horribly, stupidly, politicised.

Coppers it seems, taking their lead from their bosses, now feel the need to explain the politics of every decision. And it’s something most beat coppers are woefully ill-equipped to do.

They also seem compelled to leave Islamic racism alone - partly, as a Muslim friend tells me, because much of the abuse screamed at the Pro-Palestine rallies is screamed in Arabic and the coppers simply don’t understand it.

Is racist hate not racist hate when it’s shouted in a foreign language?

I’ll leave that for you to decide, but the over-riding fact remains that it’s a tricky thing to police is racism.

Try this. I spoke to one of the Pro-Palestinian protesters (a transitioning trans man as it goes, who, as has been pointed out many times, would be roughly as welcome in Palestine as a bout of herpes) and they tried to convince me the chant “from the river to the sea” was just some harmless jaunty jingle.

But it’s not is it.

Everything is contextual.

I’m Irish by descent and was brought up singing rebel songs. As a kid I thought they were just cheery little tunes about lost love and such but of course they are almost without exception recruiting propaganda for Irish Nationalism and indeed the IRA.

Or, take the cheery, optimistic phrase “tomorrow belongs to me” - what could be more harmless and inoffensive? But stick it in the mouth of a uniformed member of the Hitler Youth (as in the brilliant musical Cabaret) and it becomes a deeply evil embodiment of Nazism.

And so it is with the marchers loudly chanting the “from the river to the sea” every weekend on the streets of London.

The racism, the hate and the aggressive antisemitism has often been jaw-droppingly open, and yet faced little or no police action.

Why? You can’t “kettle” racist hate, you have to deal with it head on. Which means an end to snowflake policing, arrests, and if necessary banning aggressive marches whose open hate which make parts of our capital a no-go zone for a particular group of British people.

Of course, because this issue caught fire over the weekend, this morning they are queuing up to call for the head of Met boss Sir Mark Rowley - even Rishi has jumped on the bandwagon.

But not without good reason. Under our beknighted No1 plod we have we got to a point where a London police officer thinks it’s perfectly legitimate to tell a man he cannot cross a street because he is “openly Jewish”.

And, to get back to where I started, that feels like a sentence you’d use when writing about Germany in 1939.

Think a police officer would dare accuse someone of being openly Muslim? Or openly Hindu?

Quite.

Never Again we said. It’s time we, and our police force, stood by those words.
