Sir Ian Blair- Chief of Police, London UK resignation demanded

News article by Lee Barnes 2nd July 2005

The head of the Metropolitan Police Sir Ian Blair, a close friend of Tony Blair and whose wife is a solicitor and who once worked with the Prime minister’s wife Cherie Blair, should resign.

Sir Ian was found guilty of racial discrimination this week against white police officers after his force was found to have racially discriminated against three white officers who were disciplined after falsely being alleged to have made racist remarks at a training day. The employment tribunal said Sir Ian, barely five months into his post, had hung his own officers “out to dry”. Met Commissioner Sir Ian Blair was found by an employment tribunal to be guilty of prejudicing internal disciplinary proceedings against the three CID officers and of treating them unfavourably.

Sir Ian, who at the time of the allegations was Scotland Yard's deputy commissioner in charge of diversity, was said to have trusted the word of an Asian female officer, Detective Sgt Shabnam Chaudhri, over that of the three white officers, who were later cleared of any wrongdoing by the force's most senior Asian officer, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur.

Blair’s intervention

Det Constable Tom Hassell, 60, Acting Det Inspector Paul Whatmore, 39, and Det Sgt Colin Lockwood, 55, today won their claim for racial discrimination against the Met. The tribunal panel, sitting in Stratford, east London, ruled in favour of all three officers, saying they had been treated differently because of their race. The hearing was told Sir Ian's attempted intervention was made without his having investigated the case or seeing the evidence used by the police investigations board.

The panel ruled their suspension had been justified but Sir Ian's later intervention was wrong. Chairman Ian Pritchard-Witts said: "We take the view that what this deputy commissioner wanted was an example.

"We ta ke the view, using his own words, that white officers were to be hung out to dry. He prejudiced the matter, why else ask for a judicial review of his own officers' decisions. It points unerringly to unfavourable treatment."

Findings “hurtful”

Sir Ian has said that the finding of the tribunal that the Metropolitan Police were institutionally racist against indigenous white officers was hurtful to the force. Rank and file officers believe that he has betrayed their fellow officers now regard the Metropolitan Police as an anti-white racist police force operating to a New Labour political agenda.

Sir Ian described the remarks at the heart of this week's employment tribunal defeat as Islamophobic: "That language was gratuitous, offensive and deliberate. Officers can expect to be disciplined for using language like that. I want this force to have no place for racism".

If I was one of those officers I would now look at suing Sir Ian for Libel and abu se of authority within the Police. Not only is the language not racist as defined in common law, but it is also a fact that Islam is a religion not a race. Therefore Sir Ian is merely further damaging the reputations of the officers themselves. The fact that Sir Ian can still call those officers ' racist', after having been found guilty of racism himself by the Tribunal, shows the arrogance and utter incompetence of the man.

Guardian interview

In an interview with the Guardian Sir Ian Blair reveals that he intends to continue to racially cleanse the police force of white officers for political reasons and make to make his force less white, less male and more in line with the politics of the Labour Party.

Sir Ian said the Met and British policing had no choice but to embrace diversity, because it somehow 'delivered better protection to the public': "Issues about understanding diversity, about respect for different communities, respect for different tra ditions in many occupations is broadly a moral case. For the police service and Metropolitan police in particular, it is a fundamental, brutal business case. You can't police London without understanding the diverse communities we serve.

"How can you police the Chinese community, the Tamil community, emerging east European communities, north African community, how can you do this without understanding and showing respect to the cultures of which this city is made up?

"That's why I'm so unrepentant."

The fact is Mr. Blair, that ' racism ' also includes adopting pro-active racist policies against whites and such anti-white racism does not make up for historical racism against ethnic minorities. It merely increases distrut of the Police themselves. The adoption of racist, sexist policies that seek to ethnically cleanse the Police force of white, male officers would be regarded as illegal and repugnant if the officers to be expelled on the basis of their race wer e black or female. Therefore the adoption of racist policies against white officers is a declaration that the police no longer regard whites in the capital, and within the Force itself, as citizens with equal civil rights compared to ethnic minority Londoners and police. Therefore the Metropolitan Police is now a racist police force whose policing priorities are defined by how successful those racist policies are when measured against the ethnic cleansing of white officers from the police force.

Need to cut crime

The paternalistic racist notion that the various ' communities ' in London give a proverbial toss about how anti-racist the Metropolitan Police actually is demeans those who from all ethnic groups within London who just want the Police to cut crime. The fact that Sir Ian has adopted the Neo-Marxist ideology and rhetoric of 'Identity Politics' shows that he has politicised the Police force itself.

The rise in Identity Politics within the Police Force is a manifestation of the New Left within British Society. The New Left have shifted their ideological struggle against the British State, away from ' State ownership of the means of Production ' to ' State control over the Outcomes of Reproduction '. Instead of creating a Socialist Economy based on Marxist economics, they seek to impose a Marxist society through the struggle for ' Equality '. They have co-opted the language of Liberalism and human rights to enact an agenda that is Marxist and anti-individualistic.

Having lost the Economic struggle in our Global Capitalist system, the New Left now seek to Impose 'Equality' on society by moving the Marxist struggle away from the re-distribution of wealth in society to the re-distribution of rights in society. The Marxist Revolution has shifted from Class Warfare to a pseudo-anti-racist struggle based on ' empowering ' various nominated ethnic groups. The struggle has also moved from economics to a “Culture Struggle”. The New Marxist vanguard are now the ethnic minority groups, and their white lackeys in the Establishment power structures like the Police and the Courts, that seek to destroy the existing social order from within the system itself.  Excerpts from a blog for Justice against London Metropolitan 1999/2003 stitch-up Read More
