Scoring Political Points Off Dead Victims Of Terrorist Attack Is Obscene
[guest post by Dana]
London police chief Cressida Dick in an interview just one week after the London Bridge terror attack which left eight dead:
The commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police says the nationalities of the eight victims in the terrorist attack on London Bridge tell a proud story of London’s unique makeup.
“It’s desperately sad and poignant but among those who died is someone who’s British, there are French, Australian, Canadian, Spanish,” Cressida Dick told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday.
“In terms of our witnesses that we’ve spoken to so far, out of the 300-odd people, there are about 20 different countries of origin. And the London British population comes from all kinds of backgrounds and every kind of faith and ethnicity.”
She said longtime Londoners value this international aspect of the British capital.
“We believe of course that that’s what makes our city so great,” she said. “It’s a place where the vast majority of time it’s incredibly integrated and that diversity gives us strength.”
Not “desperately sad and poignant” to me, but instead I find it rather obscene that the London police chief would to try to score political points by standing on the dead bodies of eight innocent individuals who were much, much more than their collective diversity. Frankly, I really don’t care about their diversity, because to reduce them to this simple metric is to ignore their unique individuality and that which made them so terribly precious to their families who grieve. I’m wholly disgusted to see that in the aftermath of such a horrific event, the commissioner reveals herself to be an opportunistic whore.
Note: Suffice it to say when talking about diversity, cultural diversity is ignored by its cherry-picking proponents. But then you already knew that.

Instead, they are born looking externally like normal girls. Internally, there is a short blind-pouch vagina and no uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. There are testes in the abdomen or the inguinal canal.

He looks down at the kill switch and has a flashback. SNAKE!! And he hurls his end of the kill switch into the far end of the Pacific.

For a phenomenon that happens so rarely in real life, the concept of the tumtum gets an astonishing amount of space in halacha.
Dana,I respectfully disagree with you.
Perhaps you may want to remember which country used the phrase “e pluribus unum” as its motto.
kishnevi (98ea1b) — 6/11/2017 @ 4:24 pmIf I live long enough, and I die a death that others can learn from, feel free to talk about it. Even insult me.
Steve57 (0b1dac) — 6/11/2017 @ 4:24 pmThe maddening irony in this, of course, is that the touted diversity left eight people dead. Eight innocent people minding their own business, dead.
Strength doesn’t come from diversity. It can be a by-product of it, but diversity in and of itself is no more assured than people with red hair coming together are stronger than those around them.

nk (dbc370) — 6/11/2017 @ 4:46 pmHaving lived there, tend to cut the Chief of London’s Metropolitan Police some slack on this. It is truly a sprawling, diverse city w/deep Empire legacy issues pretty much foreign to Americans. Keep in mind, Conservative PM May imposed cuts that resulted in 20,000 fewer police officers while she was Britain’s Home Secretary. And given the recent attacks, that’s likely in part why May paid the price in the June election, losing seats leaving conservatives short of a majority with a hung parliament. Now she’s left trying to form a government by cutting a deal w/t Northern Ireland’s DUP (founded by Ian Paisley no less) which is painfully desperate. The British press have labelled her the ‘Zombie’ Prime Minister. Chances are she’ll be gone within a year.

urbanleftbehind (847a06) — 6/11/2017 @ 4:58 pmVery astute, kishnevi. As you know that means the many give up there diversity and assimilate into the one. Otherwise it would be something like e unum pluribus or e pluribus pluribus or something. But you are correct we are supposed to be a “melting pot” not a house divided against itself.

While in her Home Secretary sinecure, Teresa May banned Robert Spencer (of Jihad Watch blog) and Pamela Gellar from enterimg Britain to speak on behalf of “Stop the Islamization of Europe”. She also turned her authoritarian authorities against her own citizens who were trying to push back against the Muslim tides.
As to the Commissionerette, I’d like to hear (like Lt. Harry Callaghan) about her biggest felony arrest.

hey do that constantly, Steve57. Every time I attempt to discuss the future of America in relation to moslems or Africans or Mexicans the first words out of everybody’s mouth is RACIST!
But I’m not talking about race, damn it. I’m talking about Culture. Assimilation. Compatibility. Economic need. National financial ability. But not race. I don’t want white, blonde, blue-eyed Lutherans allowed in at this time. I really believe people are deliberately crying Racist! so they don’t have to answer the socioeconomic implications of all this immigration. I also think people are brain washed into believing it’s America’s duty to let anybody in who wants in regardless of whether or not they are good for America and that’s just lain nuts.
