Heads explode in hypocrisy and lies overload

Freedom is slavery. Black is white. Less is more. Etc.

Plans to directly elect some members of police authorities have been scrapped following opposition from senior officers and Labour council chiefs.

She told The Guardian she feared the police would become politicised.

She left out the words "even more" before 'politicised'. The hypocrisy, humbug, lies and sheer lunacy from the Left in this article is astonishing. So, top coppers don't want to go through the tedious business of being elected? No surprise there. Councillors don't want their power and influence reduced? Again, my jaw didn't touch the floor. That Labour are in retreat over the completely obvious opposition of vested interests is proof that this was one of their "dog whistle" policies, presented simply to trawl for votes with no intention whatsoever of actually putting it into practice.

The Order of the Tinfoil Hat, however, goes to Keith "chubby" Vaz:

They were also attacked by the chairman of the influential home affairs select committee, Keith Vaz, who ...raised fears police authorities could be "captured" by far right groups.

You WHAT? Some sort of military putsch in Northampton, you mean? A March on Devizes seizing control of the Traffic Regulations Enforcement Committee of the local council? What is this nutter on? Assuming by "far right" he means fascists and not just anyone to the right of Chris Huhne, their influence in the UK is pathetically small, though Labour are doing their damndest to stoke up their support by, for example, making it legal to discriminate against white males in employment. Still, the chances of a police authority being "captured by the far right" are laughably remote. The chances of all police authorities remaining in control of New Labour apparatchiks, however, now remain extremely high, at least until the Conservatives win the next election.

Sir Jeremy Beecham, chairman of the Labour group on the Local Government Association, told the committee the proposals could "fragment" the relationship between police and councils.

The point, surely?

The home secretary defended the plan as recently as last month, telling a meeting: "People with bizarre views can be elected and that is a challenge for us as a democracy but I have faith in the public who I think will elect the person who is going to represent them best."

This points to the fundamental opinion New Labour and the rest of the political class have of the public - that we are not sensible in our choices, and that if you give us democracy we will all just vote for nutters, lunatics, fringe candidates. Like New Labour, for example. Still, when "Tits" Jacqui talks of "people with bizarre views", I don't think she means Lord Loon wearing a duck on his head and calling for Ovaltine to me made a class B drug. No, the "bizarre views" will be mad stuff like, oh, reducing crime, listening to local people, doing what they want, not what liberal pressure groups
want. This cannot be allowed.

Looking at what has happened over the past two months, there has been a fundamental shift in the way people think about the politicisation of the police.

I put that down to the London mayor's intervention in the resignation of Sir Ian Blair and the events surrounding the Damian Green affair.

Chutzpah of the Year award to Tits. You arrest an opposition spokesman on trumped up political charges, and then claim this as an excuse to back pedal on this fundamental reform! The hypocrisy and greasy politics are vile, truly vile.

And finally, the comfortable elite themselves, the police:

It is right to resist the potential for extremists or single issue groups to excerpt control of local policing, which must remain free of party-political influence.

Total bollocks. Policing in the UK was captured by political pressure groups years, if not decades ago. Coppers can't fart without the approval of leftist and liberal pressure groups.

That clang you heard was the sound of the liberal Establishment slamming the door shut. You peasants can shiver outside in the cold for a few more years, this isn't for the likes of you.
