Theland - // Oh dear indeed.
We have about 13% to 15% black and ethnic people in this country.
The prison population does not reflect the general population.
This can be unpicked further. //

Only if you are simplistic, ignorant and racist enough to change complex social and ecconomic issues down to a matter of skin aolour and / or religion.

Fancy a go?

[Atheist]

Theland, or you could say that the general population does not reflect the prison population. Neither way of looking at it tells us anything about the morals or law-abidingness of the various bits of our population. Correlation is not necessarily causation (look it up).

// Perhaps she will unearth an obscure French law, or something EU spawned, and not attend .//

like the bosses of Grenfell ..... er which law was that? I guess the rule against incrimination ( stateside: 5th amendment)

this is a criminal case so the rules are different - sort of has to turn up but neednt give evidence.

sozza yeah yeah I know - taking a thread too seriously again

[Peter Pedant]

// you could say that the general population does not reflect the prison population.//

could say? we know this is true - 50% cant read and write - 2/3 like it so much they come back and more are afro caribbean or asian.
None have been or make it to prime minister altho there is an OE table reserved for the toffs at all reputable er hostelries

A thread about an MP on a charge of fraud and hardly a hair turned. Seems saying that a Muslim is Muslim is a far greater offence. Funny old world.

[THECORBYLOON]

Why is the fact she is a Muslim of any relevance?

[Spicerack]

Don't tell him, Naomi.

[THECORBYLOON]

Why are you so reluctant to tell us?

[THECORBYLOON]

Are you happy for folk to make presumptions about your reluctance?

[bobbinwales]

We dont need to make the presumption, thecorbyloon, we know the reason.
Its a delibrate very poorly disguised attempt to have a go at Muslims rather than focus on the real issue here which is fraud by those who should be setting a much better example (and are been greedy as there not poor ) but have betrayed are trust.

[Spicerack]

Wasn't poorly disguised.

[naomi24]

//Don't tell him, Naomi.//

Righto, Captain Mainwaring. :o)

[emmie]

it does seem wrong to specify her religion i confess, but have a look at who she worked for Lutfer Rahman, and perhaps can see that that odious man is trying to make a comeback

[THECORBYLOON]

It's bigotry

[emmie]

perhaps it is, but he;s still entitled to his view, its up to others to give their point of view, which many have done

[Spicerack]

Corby, if you spent less time defending the indefensible and took a look around, you'd know that Muslim Labour politicians from Tower Hamlets have a long and dishonourable tradition of Housing Benefit fraud.
If you and your virtue-signalling mates and/or even Muslim people themselves don't want their wonderful religion associated with crime*, how about this for an idea, 'Leave that part of your culture in Muslim countries. We don't admire it in this country'.
* Are you sure calling them Muslim Labour politicians is offensive? Because that's the way they and the left wing press always refer to them.(selves)

[ABerrant]

// how's the Tory MP accused of rape getting on? Still under name suppression, I suppose. //

For the sake of completeness, no further action following a thorough police investigation.

Are you suggesting the justice system is less fair to them, or that they inherently commit more crime?
