Take It As Red

Just listening to the radio, and a report of a senior Manchester police superintendent making some horrendous racist remarks: apparently he said that the best way to stop Moslems coming to Manchester to celebrate Eid would be to ""...place machineguns on the M6".

More on this later, I hope; but in the meantime, are this copper and Theo Van Gogh related? I think we should be told... Come to think of it, Blunkett bears a eerie resemblance as well. And, it occurs to me, as Blair and Blunkett are trying to get a new offence of incitement to religious hatred passed ( despite its being adequately covered, or could be by a small amendment, by the RRA), I have to wonder about the timing of this story. It all seems a little too opportune to me.

But that would be cynical, and that would never do.
