NO, not THAT! Oh, the humanity!
The reaction to this broadcast should be interesting to watch.
Here in the USA, anyone who dares to publicly cite official Department of Justice crime stats showing racial figures is typically shouted down, branded a racist and has their career destroyed. The article suggests that the climate of racial hysteria is similar in the UK., at least in this regard.
Hopefully the Panorama program will be quickly put up on the 'net as a Torrent so that people all over the world can see it....it sounds like quite a compelling broadcast. I found the Panorama expose's of Scientology to be well worth my time...they didn't appear to shrink from the tough questions and it appears that this forthcoming program will ruffle a few feathers as well, which in this context is quite a good thing.
It seems to me that information about crime/race statistics in the U.S. is just blanked out. Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder, among others, regularly mention this information in their articles and radio appearances, but it never seems to reach the consciousness of the general public.
To some extent, I don’t think this is bad. The important thing about a criminal is that he’s committed a crime, not his skin color or ethnicity. On the other hand, if crime is concentrated in immigrant populations or welfare populations, this should (ha ha) motivate governments and voters to reconsider welfare and immigration policies.
It will be very interesting to see whether simply stating that Pakistani Moslems are running child prostitution rings in some parts of Britain will cause rioting among Moslems - and whether the other groups mentioned, Caribbean Blacks and Turks, are also going to react to being identified with crime.
