This is jus an *excuse* and not part of the *explanation*. The sectarian violence in Glasgow (and even more so belfast) is allowed to have a legacy. The racial violence in London and Birmingham is not...
So even if your dad spent an entire decade of his life fighting with them (knives, bottles, chains, the whole nine) man every day he was supposed to come home and be a perfectly balanced individual with no rage at all. What were the realistic chances of that...
In addition to everyone else that was going on and the entirely all to common domestic abuse too...

Something strange happened to me writing this book that I am finding hard to explain but i’ll try, in case any1 is interested and other writers have has similar experiences...
On the one hand the sheer gargantuan effort required to write a readable book made me redefine what I thought hard work actually was...
But when they say ‘the more you know the more you know you don’t know’ that is some of the realest shit ever... I found that...

It is, of course, compelling that the relative and general academic overachievement of working class British-Nigerian/Ghanaian boys has not led to a general positive stereotyping of them....
Even as the most famous British West African in the country literally got the best exam grades in his entire school and has recently set up a publishing company...
Even as the youngest children to ever take maths GCSE’s in the country also come from this group... it’s *almost* as if stereotypes don’t care that much about facts.

This is not *entirely* true though I get the general point. I like perhaps thousands of other British-Caribbean’s of my generation went to a *private* community/volunteer run saturday school, albeit in a few portacabins...
I personally know plenty of lower middle class black parents that choose co-home school their children for all of the reasons I outline in Natives... needless to say NONE of those children seem to have had an issue attaining 5GCSE’s that most fail to get.
In an even more spectacular example: within one generation of 1865 about half of the black people in the United states were literate. This is one of the greatest campaigns of self directed (ie non-state actors) mass literacy in world history...

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

I suppose we can safely say that now #TheFrighteners have been so successfully and publicly put on a certain sector their combined angst will spew a diarrhoea of spin & warp whilst trying to use THAT VERY THING to generate $£Es Some with automated AdTech software already bought.
2/ Some bought by gormless companies, by mistake, some in full knowledge or partial knowledge of what it could do. It will be interesting as time goes on to see who apparently DIDN'T CARE about the likely instigation of its more negative 'dark' capabilities looking to 'side-step'
3/ or even 'wrong-foot' Irish & EU regulation standards, & possibly law. This too is a kind of #climatechange & #ClimateAction in itself, a would be mammoth untouchable iceberg of 'dominion' & 'control' being melted out into an ocean of citizens' scrutiny & advancement for change

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

#skynews #lbc #theresamay #uk #bbcnews #coverup #c4news #worldnews #ukgov
Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed
