Open Borders: how that's working out for you, m'lud?

The jury reached deadlock after sending the judge three separate notes containing 10 questions which suggested they were “struggling” with the most “basic concept” of trial by jury.

They included a question about whether they could reach a verdict based on something which was not presented in court, and whether the defendant’s “religious conviction” to follow her wedding vows of obeying her then husband, Chris Huhne, would be reason enough to acquit her of committing a crime with him.

Mr Justice Sweeney said he had “never come across” anything like the jury’s response in nearly 30 years of working in criminal courts.

Gosh, it's almost like the proper functioning of an advanced democracy requires that the citizenry hold a common set of assumptions about how society works.... kind of like how those fascists on the right always said it did.

Steyn D'Jour

Yes, indeed: it's Diversity Day at the House and who better to sum it all up than the Great Steyn:

"Diversity" is not a virtue; it's morally neutral: A group of five white upper-middle-class liberal NPR-listening women is non-diverse; a group of four white upper-middle-class liberal NPR-listening women plus Sudan's leading clitorectomy practitioner is more diverse but not necessarily the better for it.

Shocka! Pandering To Thugs Fails

Who'd have thunk it? A rapper turns out to be a violent retard.

Talk about the clue being in the question. We've got a problem with violence in schools, so a government minister teams up with a scumbag low-life. Hmmmm.... I think I see the problem.

I'll take a shot in the dark here, but if Ed Balls really wants to do something about thuggery in schools, he might try treating these people as the douchebags that they are, instead of treating violent insanity as a wacky, but enriching!, cultural quirk

Return of the Mob of No Appearance

Gosh, what can this all mean?

Let's take a moment to reflect on the fact that in modern Britain a riot in which a police officer is stabbed gets about the same mainstream coverage as League One football results. Clearly, they're stabbing the cops the British just won't stab.

If Only We'd Got The Airline Food To Them In Time...

Hey, I'm assuming airline food could have stopped this. After all, the whole basis of 'open borders' is that these freaks will be model New Brit citizens by the time they reach Heathrow, so I guess some pretty powerful mojo must be happening on board those planes.

Feline Makes A Break For It

The collapse of the political class must be more serious than I thought. Polly Toynbee (!) is so freaked she's let the cat out of the bag. In amongst explaining why government is responsible for all the good stuff in society, but that doesn't mean we can blame it for the bad stuff, we get this:

Most depressing for councils, satisfaction mostly depends on something they cannot change – the population: happiest places have most graduates, fewest children, least ethnic diversity, least population churn, most private housing. Badly run areas (like Surrey) that are posh places will always score higher satisfaction than good councils (like Blackburn) with four-star ratings and a miserable populace. Where is the political justice in that?

But... but... what about the cultural enrichment?

He's Doing The Job The British Just Won't Do

Mind you, someone should tell him he's in the wrong party.

The Process Is The Punishment (Part 2404)

Hey, remember those evvvvvvvil raycists who abused innocent 'Asian' anti-war activists in Luton? Well, you never guess guess but....

Yep, released without charge. Which is to say arrested on bogus grounds, put through the mill, smeared in the press, then released just as soon as our PC PCs have to front up with some evidence. Who'd have thunk it?

Equally shocking: the same MSM which supplies us with the names of folks who aren't actually guilty of anything at all, are kind of coy when reporting on the possible motivations of rioting scumbags. Clearly, they must be a Mob of No Appearance. True, the distinctly non-diverse mob in the photo does hint at the truth, as does the cringingly dhimmi response from the Head, but from the MSM reporting you'd think the teacher in question was a Mathematician of No Affiliation. Guess his lessons must have been a real blast, eh?

Social Workers: Not Agenda-Driven In Any Way

Well, I guess all this debunks any charges that social workers soft-pedal child abuse where dealing with it would damage the leftist agenda.

I guess beating Junior senseless is just one more of those wacky cultural quirks that do so much to enrich British life.

Anyway, the left prefers to engage with the RoP. Hey, how's that working out?

The Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (Minab) - a government approved organisation established in 2006 - has set up a minimum standard for mosques which includes guidelines to safeguard child welfare. However, membership is purely voluntary and Minab has yet to recruit a single mosque.

Midfielders Of No Appearance?

"Young people."

Hey, You Know What We Need More Of Over Here?

Open Borders Lobby: people who claim it's racist to say that the immigration system should distinguish between a neurosurgeon from Madras and this guy.

Hey, You Know What We Need More Of Over Here?

Definition of the Open Borders lobby: people who think only a racist could possibly object to these guys taking up residence next door.

(H/T to Rob, who correctly points out the silence of another well-known group of liberal prats - although, on second thoughts, it's not like anyone called the victims 'honey!')
