A Liddle bit of racism

Sometimes you think to yourself: maybe this arsehole is just looking for attention, maybe we shouldn't give it to him. Maybe the best response to his trolling bollocks would be to ignore it. Perhaps he's looking to whip up a Jan Moir-style shitstorm and reap the benefit of being at the centre of it, the attention-seeking little shite. Perhaps it might be better to step back and give no further oxygen to his venomous awfulness.

And then you think: no, fuck you Liddle, you're a know-nothing fuckwit. You shouldn't have said what you said and I don't care if telling you you're a fuckwit might give you a tiny bit more attention; hopefully even Spectator readers are thinking you're highly unpleasant after your latest bit of bile. You started off with the 'Mary Seacole Academy fpr Advanced Textspeak and Stabbing' but that didn't get you enough attention, so you've had to move it on a bit - so now we have this:

The overwhelming majority of street crime, knife crime, gun crime, robbery and crimes of sexual violence in London is carried out by young men from the African-Caribbean community. Of course, in return, we have rap music, goat curry and a far more vibrant and diverse understanding of cultures which were once alien to us. For which, many thanks.


You've gone beyond trolling. You've gone beyond trying to be provocative. You're just a cunt.

He appears to be factually incorrect as well:

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/statistics_of_knife_crime_in_lon

White: 39.3%
Black: 25.0%
Asian: 10.7%
Other: 3.6%
Unknown: 21.4%

At least in the City of London. But isn't it still disproportionate compared to the opulation in general?

Wow. I am genuinely shocked by this. He should be arrested or at least have the arse sued off him by a group of people from the African-Caribbean community.

Is it wrong for me to say that I hope some of the Mary Seacole Academy alumni pay Mr Liddle a visit? As a 2nd-gen immigrant of Caribbean descent, I took this personally.

Not only is his entire argument based on a lie about the statistics, but one of his supporters has left a column claiming that, in 2004-05, "Whites suffered 75,912 [racial] assaults [whereas] Blacks suffered 7,408 [racial] assaults".

Given that, last year, there were fewer than 5,000 racial assaults in the UK, those figures are dubious to start with.

If it's true that "Whites" did suffer more racial assaults than "Blacks", then I would imagine that it wasn't black on white violence, but violence by white British people against white eastern European people.

But it's probably all completely made up anyway. The commenter claims that they're Office of National Statistics figures, but Google for them, and the only website you'll find them on are... the BNP's.

Why are there so many cunts on the internet???

In fairness, Rod's been doing his bit for the whites when it comes to crime stats:

On 5 May 2005, Liddle was arrested for common assault against his then pregnant girlfriend Alicia Monckton. He was held under domestic violence guidelines which allow police to question suspects without cooperation from victims.[9] He later was given and accepted a police caution for the offence. Liddle was reported as having claimed to have accepted the caution as it was the quickest way for him to be released, stating that he "never touched Ms. Monckton".[10]

So...yeah. Nice man.

always thought he was a cunt, actually deeply satisfying to know that he is.
He could be charged by the police for racial hatred ?
Wouldn't he love it though the twerp.

There's an excellent post about this over here:

I admire your step to call Liddle out and take a step towards highlighting racism and hate embedded in the media. It will inspire others to do the same.

Savannah said...

I agree with you although I am not sure he should be allowed to be racist under the pretence of freedom of expression.

A complementary article on the subject which explores further why Liddle article is repulsive is at:

Yet another racism row in Britain. Journalist Rod Liddle blames violent crime in London on black men.
