Not taking action against criminals for fear of a violent reaction is an odd excuse for a police force to employ. What are the police meant for, if not to prevent crime?
Weeks ago, in The Sunday Guardian, the present columnist had written about Modi, Trump, Ishiba and Yoon, the Heads of Government of India, (soon to be) the US, Japan and South Korea as being targets of attack by the Sino-Wahhabi lobby. The reason is that all four leaders understand the threat posed to major democracies such as the country they are heading by the CCP leadership in China and by its allies and affiliates. Of the four, Yoon is on the threshold of losing office because he erred in imposing Martial Law rather than in giving full information to the people of South Korea. As a consequence, lobbies in South Korea that are close to North Korea and much more so China have been given the excuse they needed to attempt to impeach and remove him.
As a consequence of the Liberal Democratic Party having lost its parliamentary majority in the last Japanese elections, Prime Minister Ishiba is on slippery ground, Once he gets sworn in as President of the US, Trump faces a difficult battle to get key national security jobs filled by his chosen picks, each of whom understands the danger posed by the CCP and by its ally, the Wahhabist-Khomeinist elements that rule some countries, and is as a consequence facing fierce, mostly covert, resistance from them. Despite intense efforts which began in 2019 to deny him a fresh term, Narendra Modi once again became Prime Minister of India in 2024, and since then has been facing escalating efforts at dislodging him from power before the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. In a setback for the Sino-Wahhabi lobby, Justin Trudeau is having to step down as Prime Minister of Canada, a hugely consequential country honeycombed with overt and covert agents of the lobby.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, is facing blowback after he followed the example of the Conservative Party and called Pakistani grooming gangs “Asian”, thereby libelling all those in Asia who come from countries other than Pakistan and to a much lesser extent, Bangladesh. Calling a problem by its real name is the first step towards solving it, a lesson that British politicians other than from the Reform Party have yet to learn, to the advantage of the latter. Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany has made the same error committed by Starmer, which is to confuse political correctness for correctness, something that the SPD, his party, is likely to pay a substantial price for in the coming elections, to the benefit of the AfD, which is far less hesitant to look at facts in the eye and talk about them to the electorate. Where geopolitics is concerned, politicians in Europe need to understand that the principal adversary is not Russia but China, and that by their obsessive focus on Russia, they are allowing China a free pass in far too many ways. Even media outlets friendly to the establishment have begun sounding the alarm bells about the Ukraine war, which has gone the way forecast in these columns since early 2022. Tulsi Gabbard had also given a similar warning at the time, for which she is being pilloried by some US Senators. Not to mention what in their eyes seems to be the crime of truth telling, such as warning in 2011 that the “free zones” created at great expense of lives and treasure mostly by the US would become breeding grounds for ISIS, another truth that some US Senators cannot forgive her for uttering, for the “free zone” did indeed become the incubator for fresh recruits to ISIS.
What are euphemistically referred to as “grooming gangs” are a case in point. Such groups operate in France, Canada and Germany as well, but not just by the same ethnicities, and not yet to the extent that they flourish in Britain. They first identify vulnerable young girls, some just into their teens, many from single-parent families with a history of substance abuse. Thereafter, they win over the trust of such vulnerable girls by professing concern and affection for them, subsequently plying them with alcohol and drugs. While in a state of near stupor, they are gang raped by men several times their age, being abandoned after a while when fresh prey get spotted by the predators. As a consequence, countless young girls are scarred for life, often slipping into drug and alcohol addiction. Some turn to suicide while others take to prostitution to pay for their drug and alcohol consumption. Were the communities from which such men come, named and shamed, it may become more difficult for the community as a whole to resist stronger countermeasures on their own part to battle such tendencies in their midst. Otherwise the tendency is to look the other way while going about their lives. The dystopian fate to which the predators in the grooming gangs condemn their victims is a crime which requires far stricter action than law enforcement agencies are carrying out at present. Usually, the excuse trotted out for such kid glove treatment of gang members is that tougher policing would spark off violence. It is a fact that several parts of cities in the UK, Germany, France and Denmark have become “no go” areas for the police. Instead, what needs to be done is to crack down on such elements, in the way Rudy Giuliani did as Mayor of New York during 1994-2001. The city was freed of several criminal elements, although it must be added that parts of it have fallen to the same level of crime as faced Giuliani when he took over as Mayor.
Small wonder that political parties with a less tolerant view of such elements have been rising in popularity in several countries across both sides of the Atlantic. Not taking action against criminals for fear of a violent reaction is an odd excuse for a police force to employ. After all, what are the police meant for, if not to prevent crime? If the police in any location are afraid of taking action for fear of sparking off a violent reaction from gangsters, the concerned police chiefs need to be brought to account. Too many cities across both sides of the Atlantic are witnessing the growth of localities where the Rule of the Outlaw prevails, because the police dare not venture in there. Such a situation needs to be met by strong measures, and it is therefore no surprise that political parties advocating such measures are gaining in popularity, such as AfD in Germany and Reform in Britain. In the meanwhile, Prime Minister Starmer, please call it by its real name, the way the Reform Party is, if you want to avoid them forming the government after the next general elections.
