Commander Dizaei has had his day... so have 40 years of argument by smear

DizaeiIt’s time to stop cringeing to the bigoted ‘anti-racists’. Most of them are actually anti-Britishists, hiding their loathing of this country behind a facade of liberal piety, a facade that is sometimes very thin indeed.

The conviction of Ali Dizaei, who tried to bring the thuggery of Third World policing to London and was caught thanks to the courage of one of his victims, is a great opportunity – if we choose to take it.

Ex-Commander Dizaei is the perfect poster boy for this huge, damaging fraud, inflicted on Britain by its internal enemies over the past 40 years.

He shrieked ‘racism’ whenever he was questioned or thwarted, and got away with it until one brave man refused to take it, and a sound jury paid attention.

Despite being from Iran (where, by the way, the local attitude to non-Persians is not all that generous), Dizaei became a panjandrum of that grotesque, indefensible body, the ‘Black Police Association’, whose very existence was long used by the BNP’s hate-merchants as an excuse for their party’s exclusion of certain ethnic groups.

Now that Dizaei has been shown up for what he is, perhaps we can turn to the others who have advanced secret agendas and objectives behind the same fraudulent banner.

For the other crucial revelation of this week was that the Government had ‘social objectives’ in encouraging the unheard-of levels of immigration that have transformed so much of this country in the past few years.

Note, by the way, the failure of the miserable Tory Party to make any serious use of this, because David Cameron has the same ‘social objectives’ and in any case dare not stand up to the bullies of the anti-racist front for fear of losing all those liberal votes he has worked so hard to win.

The Conservatives have feebly demanded an ‘inquiry’, political code for ‘we don’t want to talk about this’.

The amazing revelations of Andrew Neather, a former Labour Party backstairs-crawler, had already warned us that this was the case.

Mr Neather’s unintentional confession that uncontrolled immigration was deliberately meant as an attack on traditional, conservative Britain was in many ways the single biggest news story of the decade.

But Mr Neather, realising too late what he had said, tried to backtrack, and some chose to accept this. Now, a Freedom of Information request has shown that his disclosures were correct.

A Government document on immigration was published in 2001, with the crucial words ‘if we are to maximise the contribution of migration to the Government’s economic and social objectives’ removed.

Why were they removed? Because the truth, that the liberal elite always wanted immigration to change the face of this country, was so dangerous.

For many years the liberal establishment have sought to use the accusation of ‘racism’ to terrorise opponents of immigration, to weaken conservative institutions, especially the police, and to silence conservative opinions in general. They have been highly effective.

Go right back to the 1981 Scarman Inquiry into the Brixton riot. This squalid festival of looting and destruction was fomented by lying rumour-mongers after the supposedly ‘racist’ police stopped a suspicious vehicle, found an injured man in it and humanely tried to get him to hospital.

The liberal Lord Scarman’s report is ludicrously soft on the rioters. It effectively ignores powerful circumstantial evidence of a pre-planned and organised disturbance, including the extraordinary paragraph 3.104, which suggests what Scarman himself called ‘clear and credible evidence’ of the existence of a petrol-bomb factory.

This was given to him by Brixton residents who only talked to him in private session, presumably because they were scared of reprisals.

As for the even more ludicrous Macpherson Report of 1999, its airy accusation of ‘institutional racism’ against the police was all that was left when it could find no actual evidence of any racially biased conduct.

No doubt the police bungled the investigation of the murder of Stephen Lawrence. They bungle a lot of investigations. But was this because of racial bias? If so, how come they successfully prosecuted three other racially motivated homicides in the same part of London in the same period?

Yet Lord Macpherson’s report was the basis for a politically correct inquisition and a redoubled attack on the conservative elements in the police everywhere in this country.

I wonder if Ali Dizaei would have risen so far without it. It is quite certain that it has helped in creating an atmosphere in which any discussion of the moral, social and cultural revolution can be headed off by accusations of ‘racism’.

Now, in the case of ex-Commander Dizaei, we see that this trick has worked only because people were scared of it, and it collapses when they stand up to it.

Yes, Nazis and bigots oppose immigration, for their own reasons. But that does not make everyone who opposes immigration a Nazi or a bigot, any more than Hitler’s dedicated opposition to smoking makes every anti-smoker a Nazi, or his vegetarianism makes every vegetarian a Nazi. Argument by smear has had its day. It is time to argue with facts and reason.


Loathe Gordon? Wait till this lot get into power


How long can David Cameron’s bodyguard of media toadies continue to protect the Tory Party from the criticism it so richly deserves? Mr Cameron, weak and vacillating under the slightest pressure, veers from one economic policy to another according to focus groups rather than the state of the nation.

His pipsqueak Shadow Chancellor, quite without business experience, alarms the City with his amateur blundering.

The party’s single biggest donor won’t say if he pays taxes in Britain. One senior official sells a huge number of shares in his own company shortly before a profits warning causes the price to tumble. Another has won a large contract in a minor Balkan state, whose EU membership Mr Cameron is promoting. Then Mr Cameron makes a speech calling for probity.

Probity begins at home, I think.

Then there’s the bizarre soap opera that swirls around the lovely head of candidate Joanne Cash, who quit and then came back, and whose engaging slogan is ‘RIP Dinosaurs’, by which she presumably means ‘Death to old-fashioned patriotic conservatives’.

Almost everyone involved seems either to be blonde or a lawyer or a millionaire – the sort who has made his money in some incomprehensible ‘consultancy’. Or all three.

But my favourite bit is the claim that the local party computer crashed because it was overloaded with homosexual pornography.

Not exactly the party of the people, is it? And if you loathe Gordon Brown, then just imagine what this lot will be like after a couple of years in government, if they can’t even get a grip on themselves in opposition.
