Well really it makes little difference. I mean I'd certainly understand his anger and if he wanted to act on that or report it then that's for him, but it's still a physical escalation that shouldn't in any way escape accountability.

Quite right if he has. I tried Google to find his apology but was unable to find it

Thanks for this

Agreed.

Lammy is a big endorser of the 'global village' concept. So while he quite correctly condemns this attack his politics are essentially what causes it and indeed its expansion.

But in saying that Lammy is no different to any mainstream politician. He perhaps race baits a bit more than most of them but essentially he's a part of the political neo liberal consensus.

The middle and higher classes don't....at the moment....have to live within areas where they feel any negatives from their 'global village' politics. And for the higher classes they will always be able to move (segregation by house price) and hence keep their hypocritical ideas clear of any realities....for example realities like higher crime, lower trust.

They will tell you how to live while not having to deal with any of the problems.

Global village vs Goebbels village?

Put a fixed, firm yet realistic limit on immigration each year and then dial down the fragile pant wetters of left and right who can't cope with either national identity or natural and inevitable change.
