Joe, you'll have to imagine me uttering a long suffering sigh when I say this.
You and I know this is just another attempt by you and your extreme left wing political heroes to discredit a long serving member of the Conservative party who you can't forgive for winning the last election.

Dragging this sad event out to score political points is typical of the Labour party and some left wing newspapers today. Labour is a party which seems not only lost its direction but also much of its moral standing. What is worse is some of its front benchers seem afraid to make a stand against the direction they are being dragged in.

I and a great many other voters said much the same at the time and I still feel the same today. What happened at Broadwater Farm is indefensible and PC Blakelock's killer was never, to my knowledge, caught. That the community have protected him ever since is a disgraceful state off affairs.

Minority ethnic communities have, over the years, used tactics such as these to gain rights and privileges which the rest of us cannot hope to receive, knowing they will be supported by the PC groups and the bleeding heart liberals. It does not help to criticise, with hindsight, someone who reflected the majority view thirty years ago as they said it yesterday.
