The Order of Today in the UK

Divide & Conquer | 26.06.2001 09:45

British National Party incites race riots and Government condones it.

Xenophobic politics, as promoted by the Conservative party, who call Britain a “foreign” country with “mongrel” people, have given the green light to the National Front to go into Asian communities and provoke third generation Pakistani families to react, by defending themselves against unmitigated racist abuse and physical attacks. The police are slow to respond to such incidents and so Asians have taken the law into their own hands, and retaliate.

These are citizens who formerly lived in harmony, albeit poverty, who are being deliberately divided to create a race war, to oblige the New World Order’s plans to militarize our streets, erode any rights we have left and instill hatred where once there was tolerance. Blair has not openly condemned this assault on Asians by right wing extremists, therefore, he must condone it.

Mr Malik, the only Asian member of Blair’s ‘Commission for Racial Equality,’ while trying to restore calm, sustained serious head injuries in an unprovoked attack with a riot shield by a police officer. He was then arrested. No doubt Blair will praise police actions. I urge all residents of the UK, black and white, to recognise, we are not the enemy but the Government who is targetting us to achieve criminal, political objectives.

As you know the anti-globalisation movement has a problem to be too while and not real connection with people of colour.

So I call to a big anti-globalisation and anti- rasist demo in UK. Let golobal mowment go to these cities and reclam back from rasist. It's a good chanse to inter connect race-gender-polity and econmy issue

The enemy

Shahid Malik is a member of the Commision for racial equality and the son of the Deputy Mayor of Burnley. He was imploring Asian youths to stop throwing missiles at police because “they are not the enemy” when he turned round and faced an advancing line of military police, one of whom coshed him in the head three times with his riot sheild knocking him unconscious to the ground. This speaks volumes to me and it seems Shahid was mistaken--the police ARE the enemy!
