Show Notes
This article was written last year, and rejected by establishment media so I have chosen to share it here in light of Kemi Badenoch’s dangerous article in The Times.
She fails to reference all the reports and reviews : Scarman Report, Lammy Review, IPCC review, IOPC and internal reviews, Baroness Casey Report, Dr Shereen Daniel’s Race Action Plan.. she does however mention the Macpherson inquiry in an attempt to weaken it and reverse the progress it made. She calls for an “independent review” while failing to reference all the reviews and reports that have consistently revealed institutional racism in the police and the Police’s culture of self- protectionism.
The met police alone receive an annual budget of over £4.6billion and yet everyone interviewed for this article has experiences of ineffective policing. In fact I am yet to hear one story of successful policing. Ever.
The statistics show the same: - only 6.6% of domestic abuse cases ever result in charges - 2.9% of burglaries ever have any action - 0.69% of car thefts are ever even looked into - 0.6% of personal theft ever leads to tangible action
So what do the police actually do? Who do they protect and serve?
Baroness Casey observed they are “long on activity, but short on action.” I see no action at all.

This week on The Tiny Pod, in honour of last week's 81st UN General Assembly, is all About United. The word united is past tense, implying unity, unison, union has already been achieved, but unions, and all relationships are active, and continuously in flux. The moment we stop actively pursuing unity, disunity naturally creeps in. United is often used politically as a tool to both imply unity has been achieved, and to silence dissent and discourage inquiry. United in the context of United Nations, United Kingdom and United States is both aspirational and misleading. As we explore what United means in political unions, we also discover what is true in any union, whether marriage, parenting or friendship, States, governments or organisations. Unity requires continuous review, negotiation and compromise. Relationships are alive and active, and although united is not a constant state, it can be touched through commitment and active participation, and can last if continuously pursued. Families can bee united and yet have no sense of unity. Countries can be united against a common cause, while still disagreeing on others, and states can question the validity or strength of a union whilst still staying in that union. United is not unanimous agreement, it is what it always meant, an agreement to join together, to bring different parts into one cohesive whole, and that can only be done in truth. The obvious disunity at the UN this year was arguably the most honest reflection of the state of the United Nations, and it is in honesty that true unity can begin to be found.

This week on The Tiny Pod I share an episode from Tiny Pod Patreon, About Shame.
This week on The Tiny Pod Patreon is all About Plagiarism, in honour of Dr Jason Arday. Plagiarism originally meant kidnapper, child stealer, it was used to describe someone who kidnapped children or slaves, or sold free people into slavery. The word evolved to mean literary theft when the Roman poet Martial described Fidentinus as a kidnapper of his words, his brainchildren. There is no original ground zero thought, we are all walking compilations of the experiences, art, literature, films, environment and people that surround us. The opposite of plagiarism is not originality, it is honesty. Plagiarism is copying the exact style and formation of another without attribution, it is in the concealment and dishonesty. We are all part of a collective and when we share freely we build on what has come before to create something new, we see further "standing on the shoulders of giants," as Isaac Newton wrote.
