It is news

Yes, I was forgetting that there are some people out are there, like "bollockschops", who "know it all"--even before news is published it would seem.

But there are many others who still have illusions in the police. Whenever police forces are criticised by their own inspection service for being institutionally racist and sexist, it is important to bring it to people's attention.

And it could be useful for black people and women to know about this report if ever they are arrested by the South Manchester police--their lawyers could make good use of it in court to show that there is an attitude problem in certain quarters of the South Manchester police towards women and black people.

LUPTON WALK NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

MOTTO: EVIL THRIVES WHEN GOOD PEOPLE STAND BY AND DO NOTHING

Dear readers
After watching the B.B.C T.V program involving the Lancashire police training college I was so upset by the program and all the people involved in all its creation. But why have all these people rushed forward to start a blood-gruelling witch-hunt on these police recruits.

The Christian way forward is for these so-called racists to meet the Lawrence family and see a family, with a lifetime of misery and heartache that each day brings. Then take the sharp end of Doreen Lawrence’s tongue while they look into the grieving eyes of Stephens’s father face after loosing a loved one in such a senseless terrible tragedy. That would be punishment they would remember for the rest of their lives, but now they are going away with all the hate and bitterness society has thrown at them.

My advice for every one as they hold the good book in one hand whilst ready to throw that first stone from the other hand. Listen to our little children all the children, as they play in the schoolyard for the very first time in their little small life. As they echo excitingly while reciting a small legendary nursery rhyme. Sticks and stones may break our bones but calling names will never hurt us.



Yours Sincerely



John Winston Beatson
