It's much worse than that, it's corruption. See Rotherham for another example. The police are protecting the criminals and intimidating the victims.
Massive clearout required.
you understand what 'corruption' in the legal sense means?Massive clearout required.
I rather think that because of the knocks the Met has taken, it has bowed down to the PC brigade and local community leaders.

The story has been on the BBC website since the judgement - I quoted it earlier,Finally a mention, but lots ov "allegedly" and quotes in brackets. Like they dont agree with the ruling...
There isn't one "allegedly" in that article
And it is perfectly correct to put quotes in quotation marks.
So what exactly is your point?

Maybe his point is that if this had been UKIP or the EDL the Beeb would probably have been in uproar about the story,mans it would have appeared on the main News page.
But why your indignation at williamp's post?

What else could they say other than "alleged"?Maybe his point is that if this had been UKIP or the EDL the Beeb would probably have been in uproar about the story,mans it would have appeared on the main News page.

The voters alleged and the allegation was found to be correct.
It was all over the main news page, and radio and TV.
I am not indignant, just pointing out the fact that he is totally incorrect.
Tower Hamlets: how a dictatorship flourished in the East End
NickCohen said:
Do not forget either that Rahman at all times enjoyed the mulish support of Ken Livingstone and elements of what now passes for the British left. The BBC, the Daily Telegraph, Private Eye and Ted Jeory, a fantastic Tower Hamlets reporter, who exposed on his blog the corruption stories that local papers wouldn’t print, fought back. But with honourable exceptions, London’s leftwing press ignored the stink in its own backyard and dismissed the accusations against Rahman as evidence of a “deep substrate of” – you guessed it – “racism”.
You might think that at least the Labour party stood firm. But it left it to four Tower Hamlet residents to take on the huge financial risk of fighting Rahman. The judge wondered whether “like so many others who have come up against Mr Rahman, the party was not prepared to risk the accusations of racism and Islamophobia that would have been bound to follow any petition”.
One day, leftists and the Labour party will pay a price for their neglect and double standards. As it is, the price is being paid by others. Despite bordering on the opulent City, the East End of London is one of the poorest places in Britain. Many of its residents have no education; large numbers of Bangladeshis cannot speak English. They are wide open for hucksters to target. Too many stood back while they were shaken down, while money intended for them was diverted and their right to vote subverted.
In the onlookers’ indifference we can find, at last, an authentic white racism amid all the phoniness: the racism that believes the immigrant poor deserve no better.
