After every incident of lawlessness, murder and terrorism in the UK, I find myself getting more and more pissed off with the fuckin’ platitudes issued by Government, police and other authorities. All supposedly to reassure Joe public and restore confidence but all are basically an admission of defeat.
I’d like to look at four or five of my “favourite” ones but I’m sure you’d be able to add more of your own.
1. “Lessons will be learned from this.” But they never are, are they? As so often before, this was seen after the murder of three men in Reading. Priti and Boris both come out with this well worn cliche. It’s now about four days after the incident and it’s as if it never happened at all. What has it taught us? Simply not to believe any utterances that come out of fuckin’ politicians mouths.
2. “These type of incidents are very rare in this country.” Are they? Perhaps compared with downtown Beirut or Mexico City but they are far more common than in the Britain of thirty or forty years ago. I’m sure that statement is very comforting to all the family and friends who lost loved ones in the Manchester bombing or those who’ve had their lives cut short by a knife, not just on the streets but when relaxing leisurely in a park or peacefully going about their business in a city centre. What would brave policemen who’ve given their lives be thinking if they’d been able to reflect, especially when observing the craven, submissive reaction by some of their colleagues to recent events?
3. “There is no danger to the general public.” Usually issued as an all clear and forgetting to add “until the next time.”
4. Saving my favourite to the last, I’d love to be able to wrap my fingers around the throat of the first cunt who uttered “he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” This one implies that some sort of blame can be attached to the victim, only now we’re not talking about some poor sod who has accidentally stumbled into downtown Miami. No, this could be your average sunbather, someone enjoying a night out at concert or a film. You can even be in your own home and still be in the “wrong” place! How can it be that in the year 2020 on this still beautiful island, you can be considered “in the wrong place?” I would never even been able to consider this in my childhood. This would have been anathema to my parents or grandparents had they been alive today.
A big fuck off to all the authorities who continue to use such terms. If you’ve nothing constructive to say, say fuck all you shower of cunts.
