I'll sleep easier in my bed, thanks to the Met Police's relentless war on hate crime...

They reinforced the message earlier today with the following tweet:

"To think that people like you ruled a country."

And to think that "people" like these might be running it on Friday morning:

Diane Abbott has come bottom of the Maths class. Again. BBC headmistress Jo Coburn is furious.

Remember - it's our duty to keep laughing at these people.&nbsp;</div>

Anyone not horrified by Trump's inauguration - or this story of police racism - is guilty of hate crime...

The whole horrifying story, which involves the Bristol police zapping a chap...

Something tells me Paul Joseph Watson doesn't altogether approve of the losing side's response to Brexit...

I'd only take issue with two items in that video...

The Swedish cop Beck was battling anti-gay "Terrorists for God" on on the BBC last night - guess which religion they represented

I enjoy Beck. The detective show is based on characters created by two communist writers, Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, in a series of ten very readable crime novels published between 1965 and 1975.  Martin Beck, the main character, is a tediously compassionate, achingly decent, somewhat dithery, procedure-following, middle-aged liberal wet, who is far less interesting than his younger assistant, Gunvald Larsson, a tall, super-fit, snazzily-dressed, blue-eyed upper-class cop who has a tendency to menace suspects, cut corners, and beat people up a lot - Larsson is the true hero of the series. In real-life, Larsson would, of course, be a right-winger, but, as this is a Swedish cop show, he's as left-wing as everyone else: in Swedish drama, everybody, apart from criminals, is left-wing. (The same is, of course, true for practically every TV cop drama being shown on TV anywhere right now - the second most right-wing profession in the world, after soldiering, is now seemingly entirely populated by Guardian-reading compassionistas, only with muscles and anger-management issues.)

Eurofanatics fed Norwegians exactly the same lies before their 1994 referendum as the ones Remainers are trying to frighten us with

George Osborne accused Leavers of being "quitters" during his TV grilling by Andrew Neil earlier this week. Which is a bit like the senior British officer at Colditz accusing escapees of being quitters. Presumably, Osborne would have accused...

Nice of J.P. Morgan's boss to threaten the British with job cuts if they disobey the elite and vote for Brexit

Yesterday, Jamie Dimon, the boss of J.P. Morgan - who is known as the "King of Wall Street" (as opposed to, say, the "Wanker of Wall Street") - welcomed David Cameron to an event in Bournemouth, where his bank employs 4,000 staff. Dave probably didn't have to face any of the sort of impertinent questions from the assembled "workers" he was subjected to by members of the audience during his enormously successful Sky News appearance on Thursday night (well, not unless any J.P. Morgan employee was particularly keen on ending up in a tank filled with ravenous piranha fish).

BBC Radio 5 Live host: Muslim rape gangs didn't rape white girls in Rotherham, and to suggest otherwise is "offensive"

I wrote recently that listening to the BBC (and to EU officials) is often like hearing broadcasts from a parallel universe where the facts are the same as in ours, but the conclusions drawn are the diametric opposite (here). Now, though, it seems that even the facts are different. In the following clip from Up All Night the caller appears to live in our world, while the presenter, Dotun Adeboyo, appears to inhabit a universe with a different history, because in the land where Otun dwells, rape gangs comprised of Pakistani Muslims didn't sexually abuse white girls in Rotherham, and to suggest that they did gets you thrown off his show:

Who is encouraging police zealotry against piffling anti-Muslim "hate" crimes? And can we fire them?

Fortunately - and quite out of character - the CPS has stepped in. This was  posted on the Metropolitan Police website an hour ago:

Donald's dick, Nina's negritude, Zac's "pansexuality" - is it my imagination or has this week been notably rich in bizarrerie?

There are thousands of things I really don't want to have to think about, but The Donald's membrum virile is very near the top of the list. How in the name of all that's holy did America get from George Washington to here?  Well, at least he didn't actually whip it out during the televised debate in which he, as it were, brought it up: we'll gladly accept Mr. Trump's assurance that having tiny, stubby little fingers implies nothing whatsoever about the size of what I've recently learned is colloquially known as one's "junk". Dear God! 

The next example of bizarrerie in the media concerned the dead singer, Nina Simone...

Instead of liberal prison reforms, I suggest Cameron and Gove order this film clip to be shown on a loop in every cell, 24/7

Should do the trick. 

Obama's gun-control tears - pass the sick-bag, Alice...

The BBC News Channel and Sky both seemed to have Obama blubbing about gun control on a loop yesterday afternoon - possibly to make up for the aching slowness with which Jeremy Corbyn was rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.  Or maybe TV News lefties simply experienced a tingle up their legs at the leader of the world's most powerful country being human enough to burst into tears because he can't get his own way - left-wingers live in a bi-polar world, yawing wildly between extreme cynicism and gross sentimentality.

The 2015 Grønmark Blog Top 20 "Absolute Blister" Awards for Services to Bum-Holery

1. Angela Merkel, whose open invitation to Muslim immigrants turned a temporary crisis into an epic disaster set to rumble on for decades - or until European civilisation has been sundered from its Judeo-Christian cultural roots and turned into one enormous theocratic Third World slum. Thanks, Ange.

2. Black Lives Matter, for spreading the lie that racist, trigger-happy cops represent the greatest threat to American blacks, when cops are responsible for 4% of gun-related black deaths, while 87% are caused by other blacks. Motes and beams, race-hustlers.

"River" and "Unforgotten" both perpetuate the myth that white-on-black violence is the real problem - and that Britons are innately racist

DI Swedish Nutter

Early on in the fourth episode of BBC One’s big new detective series, River, a member of my family assured me that the dead female police detective whose murder is being investigated by her former partner, and who appears to have been up to some form of sinister jiggery-pokery with a Somali migrant now suspected of killing her, would turn out to have been trying to help the migrant out of sheer compassion. The Somali would, of course, turn out to be innocent of her murder, and to be a thoroughly honourable man and a fine, upstanding citizen.

Too busy to come round if you’ve been burgled – but plenty of time to persecute Katie Hopkins and destroy Ted Heath’s reputation

Last week, Sara Thornton, head of the National Police Chiefs Council (salary: £252,000), informed us (i.e. the mugs who pay her wages) that the police “need to move from reacting to some of those traditional crimes to thinking about focusing on threat and harm and risk and really protecting the public. That might mean that if you’ve had a burglary, for example, and the burglar has fled, that we won’t get there as quickly as we would have in the past.” She has a lovely turn of phrase – "traditional crimes" makes burglary sound like morris dancing.

I know - why don't we ask members of London's "diverse communities" to learn English instead!

As of today, all new Metropolitan police constables will have to be able to speak a second language. But not just any second language - one of the following:
Yoruba (Nigeria), Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Punjabi, Italian, German, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Sinhali (Sri Lanka), Bengali
Why???

So hate speech and physical abuse are excusable as long as you’re not white - but a white scientist poking mild fun at women isn't?

In April, Goldsmiths student union welfare and diversity officer Bahar Mustafa, who recently graduated from the institution with an MA in gender and media studies (so a fat lot of use she's going to be to society) wrote the following on Facebook about an event she was organising:

‘Invite loads of BME Women and non-binary people!! Also, if you’ve been invited and you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME just cos i invited a bunch of people and hope you will be responsible enough to respect this is a BME Women and non-binary event only.’

Because only FREE STUFF will ease the hurt...

I am a natural supporter of the police – but their hounding of people like Katie Hopkins is testing my patience

As an old-fashioned right-wing law-and-order Tory, my eyes tend to mist up in gratitude and admiration at the very mention of the word “police” – and the word “bobby” positively makes me blub. When some blighter waving a toy gun or even a chair leg that could possibly be mistaken for a gun gets themselves killed by police marksmen, I have little sympathy for them or their relatives. When drug-dealing gangsters who might be carrying a gun – because that’s the sort of thing they tend to do – get mown down by a copper, I am not minded to attend candlelit vigils on their behalf when it’s discovered they weren’t actually armed. Tough – comes with the territory. And when anarchist groups of whatever stripe whine about being penetrated (in whichever sense of the world) by undercover police agents, I couldn't care less. Boo bloody hoo.
