The benefits of an enlightened society

  by Mustang  –  Our man on the beat in the UK

Matthew Furlong is a fine young man.  He was raised in a good home.  His father is a detective chief inspector whose example motivated his son to one day follow in his footsteps.  And so, Matthew applied himself.  He stayed in school, earned a college degree (in particle physics), and applied for admission to the Cheshire Constabulary.  The application process was an exciting time for Matthew.  He was about to reach his “dream job” … he was going to be a copper, like his Dad.

He passed all the tests.  The interview went pretty well.  Matthew was on a roll.  But then it came time to accept or reject applicants.  Matthew was rejected.  He wasn’t going to get a job in the Cheshire police department.

It wasn’t that Matthew answered wrongly during the interview.  It wasn’t because he lacked a solid degree.  No, Matthew didn’t get the job because of four main factors:  He is white, not black.  He’s straight, not queer.  He’s normal, not a transgender, and he’s not disabled.  He’s also not accepted into the Constabulary.

Matthew did the right thing, though.  He filed a lawsuit against the police department for wrongful discrimination.  And the judge came to the right conclusion in pointing out that the police agency did wrongfully discriminate against Matthew, but if anyone thinks that the police hierarchy is repentant, think again.

After the ruling, the leader of the British police chief’s organization called for radical laws to allow police to positively discriminate in favor of ethnic minority candidates.  The chair of the National Police Chiefs Council, Sara Thornton, said that unless changes are made, the rank and file would remain overwhelmingly white for decades to come.

Apparently, the British police don’t want less crime or justice through the apprehension of criminals … they want more black, gay, sexually confused, or physically disabled street cops.  Meanwhile, violent crime in the UK is rising in leaps and bounds.

Instances of gang-fights with lethal weapons abound.  British citizens are prohibited from defending themselves, and so must rely on the police to do that for them.  When the British call for help, they are likely to wait a long time before anyone shows up, and they’ll have to deal with someone who may not be able or willing to help them.

This is what leftist society calls progress.  We are living in a world of opposite meanings.  Let’s be clear: this isn’t progress.  Citizens know this, but they have no power to change course.  With their inane ideas, people like Sara Thornton and Police Chief Constable Janette McCormick pose a clear and present danger to an orderly, respectful British society, and yet, in spite of this, they are allowed to continue doing irreversible damage to that society.

Matthew Furlong has gotten on with his life.  He has a good job, and I assume he’s making good money.  The problem isn’t resolved, however.  Police agencies controlled by social warriors continue to discriminate against white applicants.  They call this “positive discrimination.”  In the Furlong case, the judge’s ruling doesn’t matter.

The police agency may have to pay Mr. Furlong some compensation, and they will pay if the court so orders (no problem, it’s taxpayer money anyway), but they will not cease and desist their campaign to deny opportunities to straight white men.

If these are the benefits of enlightened British society, let us hope that the virus never makes its way to the United States.
