One of Britain’s most senior police chiefs has intervened in the debate about rising crime, saying social inequality is a cause that needs tackling and that those arrested and jailed tend to be people with less money and opportunity.
Excuse me while I lift my jaw from my chest. Yes, it’s all about inequality – not to do with scrotes who know that law will do nothing as they prowl with impunity. There have always been the criminally minded and there always will. Those who seek to prey on those they consider weak. Inequality has fuck all to do with it.
The Metropolitan police assistant commissioner Patricia Gallan told the Guardian that “children are not born bad” and called for a wider effort to deal with inequalities that leave people feeling like “they do not have a stake in society”.
John Venables? I can certainly recall children from my childhood who were wicked to the core. They probably grew up to be career criminals. Yes they were born bad – it’s the way they were. They weren’t any less well off than the rest of us, none of whom could be regarded as wealthy. I didn’t go out and commit crimes because some people had more than I did. This woman is a cretin and a disgrace to the uniform she wears.
Gallan said: “I think we deal with the symptoms and the outcomes, but society at large has got to think about how we solve some of the other issues about what has been causing the crime in the first place. I don’t think children are born bad. I don’t believe that for one moment.”
Yes, well, out here in the real world we tend to take a different view.
Perhaps we could start with effective policing and suitable sentencing of offenders when they are caught and convicted. And, perhaps, policing real crimes instead of bad think on the Internet. Just a thought.
The Marxist mindset really has worked its way through the institutions.

At the risk of sounding like James Higham on a bad day, that was the point where I stopped reading as the rest wrote itself.

was what did it for me. The Guardian seems to me to promote anything that will destroy Britain.
There are also plenty of examples of those from comfortable to wealthy backgrounds who are extremely nasty pieces of work. In general though they don’t need to express it via theft or street thuggery (though that isn’t unknown either) and in many cases wealth and connections can keep them out of court.

Marxist/Communist plan: first the Universities & Unions, then eduction & media, then we’ve won.
Sickening. How do we undo?
Short of armed revolution, I don’t know. I’m afraid that such is the depth of the indoctrination, those of us who value liberty and the rule of law are a dying minority.
Last time I checked there were still plenty of lamp posts around Westminster and Islington. The supply of piano wire has diminished, but plenty of decent cable about that would hold the weight of your average MP, un-Civil Servant, local government officer or lecturer.
Firing the rest, shaving their heads and tattooing “Traitor” across their foreheads would probably work for the rest.
The problem is that many senior officers seem to have degrees in social work or criminology and have not come through the ranks and associated with the criminal riff raff of our society. That’s why they get this garbage of inequality being the cause of crime instead of either opportunism of preying on the weak or a calculating approach to taking someone else’s hard work and running away with it. Soft sentences are no deterrent to scrote career criminals who need their noses and ears removing as medieval punishments did work.
I seem to recall this argument being expressed by the Labour opposition during the Thatcher era. Those poor people had been put on the dole by those evil tories and had been forced, forced I tell you, into lives of crime. there was quite a backlash from people who had known far worse hardships without ever even considering robbing anyone.
On the subject of being born bad, I tried to find an old Ambush Predator post about a toddler who had been thrown out of his nursery because he kept attacking the other kids. One of the comments was from someone who had seen this kind of kid lots of times before and seen how they turned out.
The book Redemption by John McAvoy has a fair bit to say about this subject. McAvoy was the nephew of the guy who did the Brinks Matt bullion robbery and was raised into a life of armed robbery. When he inevitably arrived in a young offenders institution he was placed in maximum security because of his connections. There he encountered teenage kids who were simply psychopaths with the mentality of toddlers. Some of these were kids who had murdered their siblings over trivial matters and were incapable of feeling remorse.
(It is a totally riveting book and I recommend it to any bookish types out there.)
So is the learned lady saying that when criminals become wealthy, and are therefore not disadvantaged, they stop becoming criminals and turn to being paragons of virtue? The fact they don’t, but continue to build their criminal empire, shows that she is talking what she doesn’t possess – bollocks.
Indeed.
“bollocks” is about it. Nasty little people who have nothing better to do resort to crime because they know that they will (not “can”) get away with it. Plod (and I am being polite) needs to get away from its collective computer screen, ignore the smart phone and NICK CRIMINALS
This woman is leaving the police soon and this article is saying to all the left-wing institution out there-“employ me,I’m one of you”.
