I am furious with the activist who conflated the computer stamp at the airport with the Manchester Arena bombing

I notice the Lefty activists couldn’t wait to come out of the woodwork to express their views on Manchester Police. It was one that I found particularly ill-judged. It came from Mohammed Shafiq, described as a “community” activist from Rochdale.

Mr Shafiq wants Greater Manchester’s Chief Constable Stephen Watson to come to Rochdale to explain why an officer hit a young Muslim man and in his argument told The Times; “The Muslim community has worked hard to build a relationship with the police, especially after the Manchester Arena attack.”


In what strange world is the arena bombing – perpetrated by a member of Shafiq’s ‘community’ – where 22 men, women and eight children have something to do with a headshot.

The attack was a terrorist scandal and the city is still recovering. In fact, there are many families who will never recover from what happened that night.

The bomber, who knew because of the lead artist that there would be many children there, got 55 years. Personally, I’d have him serve the sentence and then carry out a death sentence, but that’s me.

I hate the argument that confuses what happened at the airport with a fight between young Muslims and the police. Everyone is losing sight of the fact that three officers were taken to the hospital after the fight with the female officer with a broken nose.

Not to mention four men, believed to be from the “community”, aged between 19 and 31, face various charges of assaulting an emergency worker and affray.

Other leftists came out yesterday when they felt they could get their anti-police views on TV. Elizabeth Cameron, former chairman of the Greater Manchester Race Equality Committee, described the video of the kicking as “disgusting” and said such incidents were not just “one-offs”.

How she knows the incident wasn’t a “one time” is beyond me.

Another centre-left, Jack Khan, a former Labor councilor who ran in Bolton for George Galloway’s Labor Party, warned that if all the officers involved were not arrested “immediately” there would be “big protests like never before. seen before.”.

I doubt. Outside of leftists and local Muslims, most rational people would consider the sequence of events leading up to the incident to be confusing at best, involving a Muslim mother, a standoff between the “community” and the police trying to make an arrest. the participants. I think I side with the MP when he said that police officers deserve a medal.

The clue to the truth of the incident lies in the calm and diplomatic approach to the incident from Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester. He revealed that he saw more than just the clip and basically said that there is much more to the story.

I believe that.

What worries me is that this is the second time in a week or so that a minority community has made national headlines claiming they have been singled out by the authorities.

It’s the price we pay for being attractive and welcoming to people all over the world. There will be more of this.
