This one is incredible, and a sad commentary on the decline of Britain. On the one hand we have the UK police arresting a veteran merely for retweeting a meme featuring pride flags in something like a swastika, but I think a good lawyer could argue with this geometry, But on the other hand we have the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), which is supposed to invigilate law enforcement in England and Wales, which launched an investigation into three Mancunian officers following the publication of a grooming gangs inquiry commissioned by city mayor Andy Burnham, but which has discontinued its investigation into the trio. It has claimed it has been “unable to determine” why a police inquiry into grooming gangs, Operation Augusta, was shut down despite having identified 57 victims and 97 potential suspects. “Despite significant efforts, we were unable to determine who took the final decision to close Operation Augusta in July 2005, nor the rationale for doing so,” the IOPC said of the inquiry.
The UK police allowed the grooming rapes to continue, even when evidence was given to them, solely because they did not want to appear “racist.” So, rapes are allowed, if it is white children, and a white man is arrested for reposting a meme that supposedly hurt someone’s feelings.
