A nice little earner

 Tarique Ghaffur - said to have received £300,000 for "being sidelined"

My good friend the committed BNP campaigner Donna Treanor has obtained some interesting information from both the Metropolitan police and also from the Equality and Human Rights commission by means of Freedom of Information requests.

The results can be viewed at the foot of this posting and reveal some illuminating details

The first set of figures show the number of racial discrimination claims logged against the Metropolitan Police over each of the last five financial years and appear to indicate a consistent average of 40 cases a year, primarily brought by Police Officers, but also by Police Staff, Community Support Officers and also a small number by Traffic Wardens

Given the much publicised fact that the total number if ethnic minority officers in the Met only reached 3,000 in 2009, this figure is actually more significant than it first appears particularly in the post Macpherson police force 

More significant than the numbers however, are the figures relating to concluded cases which can also be viewed at the bottom of this posting, these show that only a tiny proportion of cases were actually lost by the Metropolitan Police Service, and of those which were, by far the majority were successfully appealed by the MPS. 

Of the rest a number were withdrawn, suggesting either a change of heart on the part of the complainant or, more likely, their advisers may have warned them there was scant chance of their claim succeeding.      

However, each year a significant number of cases were “settled” to a degree which does not make sense considering that when the MPS fight a case to its conclusion, they stand a statistically good chance of winning.

Settling is, of course, easier, especially when it is only taxpayer’s money which is being shelled out, and who is to know how many complainants have been encouraged in making unfounded claims on the strength of the Met’s penchant for settling out of court rather than fighting as case.

The figures which Donna obtained do not disclose the seniority of those making complaints or the size of the settlements paid out.  However, in view of the fact that former assistant commissioner Tarique Ghaffur accepted a settlement of £300,000 ($475,000) after he claimed he had merely been “sidelined” one can assume the settlements may have been quite generous.

All this at the taxpayer’s expense despite evidence based upon the outcomes of those cases which the Met have contested, that a large percentage of these claims are bogus.
    
The figures relate to just one of the 39 police forces in England, not to mention those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, together with the various other UK law enforcement agencies,   however, if these results are reflected in other forces and indeed across the public sector it is clear that vast sums are being paid out, not least in undefended settlements.

It should not be forgotten that compensation and out of court settlements are only a part of the cost of these proceedings. If one adds to that the cost of administering, adjudicating and defending such cases it is starkly obvious that the race discrimination industry is a very costly drain on the public purse, and a very unwelcome one in our current age of austerity.

Being the industrious individual that she is, Donna has also obtained a further set of figures by means of Freedom of Information legislation.  These show details of the cases of racial discrimination brought against that insidious government QUANGO the Equality and Human Rights Commission by its own staff.

The outcome of these are rather different than those brought against the Metropolitan police, and suggest to this writer that the EHRC have robustly defended themselves against all such claims and only settled in one case in which they paid out the relatively paltry sum of £2,000, a far cry from Assistant Commissioner Ghaffur’s lottery style winnings.

This is hardly surprising given how embarrassing it would be for an organisation allegedly dedicated to the enforcement of equality to be repeatedly found guilty of discriminating against its staff.

However, notwithstanding the number of cases which have been withdrawn, struck out or won by the EHRC, it is quite remarkable for an organization of its type, set up only four years ago this month that already fourteen members of staff have seen fit to formally raise allegations of racial discrimination against it.

It is debatable as to whether this says more about the organisation or the nature of those it employs.

Once again these cases have been administered, Judged and defended at taxpayers expense, and you can be sure that “Human Rights” lawyers do not come cheap.

As I have pointed out many times on this blog, we are constantly informed that migration to the UK has brought countless benefits, but it is becoming progressively more difficult to identify quantifiable evidence of such benefits.

There is self evidently no benefit to the tax payer in being required to subsidise these cases, and it is an indisputable fact that we would not have to fund these cases were we not living in an imposed multiracial society.

Just a quick point here, back-handers notwithstanding.

The individual portrayed should not even be on the force.

No individual such as he should be appointed or accepted in any government capacity whatsoever.

This is a Constitutional issue.

Note the following extracts from The Coronation Service, my emphases.

Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel?

Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law?

Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England?

And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?

Queen: All this I promise to do.

Then the Queen arising out of her Chair, supported as before, the Sword of State being carried before her, shall go to the Altar, and make her solemn Oath in the sight of
[The Bible to be brought.]
all the people to observe the promises: laying her right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible (which was before carried in the procession and is now brought from the altar by the Archbishop, and tendered to her as she kneels upon the steps), and saying these words:

The things which I have here promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God...

Then the Queen shall kiss the Book and sign the Oath.

The Queen having thus taken her Oath, shall return again to her Chair, and the Bible shall be delivered to the Dean of Westminster.

V. The Presenting of the Holy Bible

When the Queen is again seated, the Archbishop shall go to her Chair; and the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, receiving the Bible from the Dean of Westminster, shall bring it to the Queen and present it to her, the Archbishop saying these words:

Our gracious Queen:
to keep your Majesty ever mindful of the law and the Gospel of God
as the Rule for the whole life and government of Christian Princes,
we present you with this Book,
the most valuable thing that this world affords.


And the Moderator shall continue:

Here is Wisdom;
[Revelation 13:18, warning you against the papacy]

This is the royal Law;
[James 2:8, on good neighbourliness, for which this nation was once noted]

These are the lively Oracles of God.
[Acts 7:38, on the 10 Commandments and the basis for English Common Law]

I would assert that almost no foreign immigrant (especially the Mohammedan species) who has fetched up on these shores for the last 20-50 years gives a proverbial tinker's cuss about any of the above.

Sadly, it's likely that neither do many contemporary Brits (including many C of E clergy) but the foreigners at least should not be here and should therefore be summarily ejected (along with any half-breed offspring, Ezra 10, Nehemiah 13 from "the royal law" show the way).

Most of all, no-one, especially not foreign interlopers, who disdains the terms and conditions of the above Oath has any business in the service of HM the Queen.

She, of course, needs to get back to that Oath herself, post haste. It all starts at the top, 2 Kings 23:3, my emphases:

"And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant."

There is, of course, only one Book in all of this. This year is its 400th Anniversary.

In the meantime here is more 'enrichment'.

Maybe coming to a housing estate near you, or maybe it's already there.

"Trying to Settle Out of Court

Settling out of court is far less expensive than a trial. Unless you know for a fact that you have an ironclad case, you stand the risk of spending large amounts of money and getting nothing in return."


Does this mean that those were cases the MPS thought they'd lose in court.

Please do not assume that people with cultural backgrounds which are widely different to the Native British will behave the same way as the British, with the same understanding of purpose, protection and compassion. They will not. If there will be one single cause for the destruction of the Native British it will be that misconception, which was forced down the throats of the Native British by the legislation of their own governments.

Off topic but as far as nice little earners go this takes the bicuit for me.
A friend of mine has just started an OU course and part of the introduction included a selection of famous media types who had studied philososphy, as it happens.
Jonathon Dimbleby, presumably well paid, uses the oppurtunity to expound his belief that using philosophical argument one 'can destroy the ignorant and racist proposition that England was ever a white nation' I have seen a copy of the transcipt, and was so disgusted I asked my friend if I could hear the words with my own ears, and shockingly it is true and has been included in the course materials for a British university.

Anonymous said, talking about Jonathan Dimbleby and logic, that England was (n) ever a white nation.
Perhaps you could look at http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2010/04/exquisite-cultivar.html
It does not make a damn of difference what the genes are/were. It is success that counts, nothing more, nothing less. The probable basis of that success was that the population was homogenous, notoriously distorted by Wilkinson and Pickett in the Spirit Level. http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2011/01/book-review-spirit-level-richard.html
In any event all logic has its origin in empiricism. The observable is not subject to reason.

Not altogether OT as the central figures are two former police officers, one murdered, the other the murderer.

Here is a case of a not-so-nice-racial killer.

Re: thick, this is an interesting BBC report, no less, about black under-achievement in education.

Though largely couched in the usual BBC pc terms where BMEs are concerned, the truth cannot be concealed, any more than the disproportionation of the BBC Crimewatch Most Wanted and disproportionately corrupt Mohammedan police officers in the UK.

It all ties in with this country having been infected with "the worst of the heathen" Ezekiel 7:24. The chapter describes why it happened to ancient Israel. The same applies to this country today.

Alan, while outsiders get preferential treatment Christian's are being persecuted in Britain because of their beliefs.
Only a Party who is not PC correct can stop our country and the religion which it was built on from being destroyed.
“Adrian Smith, a Christian, was found guilty of gross misconduct by his publicly funded housing association for saying that allowing gay weddings in churches was ‘an equality too far”

Very true, Misterfax (fox?)

The victimisation of the late Mr Harry Hammond, pensioner, is just one of a number of cases.

As I recall, the (in)E(in)HR(wrongs)C was as quiet as a mouse stricken with rigor mortis during the case of Mr Hammond and all others like it.

Oh dear no posts in the last 13 days. I do hope you haven't had your door kicked in in the wee small hours by the kgb-wannabe's of the Met.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Read somewhere that in the states 65% of these awards go to the poor starving lawyers. Won't you please think of the poor starving lawyers?

Statistical quibble: You suggest that the settled cases would have been more likely to have been decided in the Met's favour, implying that there is no qualitative difference. Is it not more likely that the Met are settling most of.the cases they think they would lose, and concentrate on fighting the minority of weaker cases? To many, those figures would suggest that the Met is actually discriminating along racial lines pretty significantly.
