An interesting comment from a black female journalist, regarding the treatment of GF vs Henry Novak:
”Some of their victims might still be alive had an obsession with anti-racism not been drilled so successfully into everyone from teenage security guards to health workers and council officials: an imperative not merely to be non-racist, that is, but to suspend reason in the name of anti-racism, no matter the cost.
This movement, however well-intentioned, now has too much blood on its hands. As a phenomenon, of course, it was supercharged in 2020, when George Floyd – a convicted felon and drug addict suffering from heart disease – died, having ingested the ultra-powerful opioid fentanyl, while being restrained during his arrest in Minnesota. In the middle of the Covid pandemic, when half the world was locked indoors staring at social media (with all its tendency for outrage and fury), Floyd's death galvanised the Black Lives Matter movement.
'I can't breathe' – his last words – became a rallying cry, as tens of millions of people, according to a study by America's Harvard Kennedy School, took to the streets protesting against 'systemic racism', including riots and looting in some places. Politicians almost literally fell over themselves to 'take the knee' in a self-abasing sign that they, too, opposed racism – including then leader of the opposition Keir Starmer and his deputy Angela Rayner. 'I can't breathe' were Henry Nowak's last words, too, but there will be fewer marches in his name; while of his death, our current Prime Minister and the usually loquacious Rayner have said precisely nothing.”
