WE ALL BLEED BLUE – PC YVONNE FLETCHER – MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD – STILL NO ONE HAS BEEN HELD TO ACCOUNT
Omar Bakri thinks Amir Khan is not a good role model for Muslim kids. Oh come on Mr Bakri, of course you Mr Bakri were a good role model when you were shagging anything in a skirt at university and drinking like a fish/thug.
Mr Bakri also allegedly suggests that Amir wearing the British flag has committed a sin. We, however and on the other hand, think the flag rather suits Amir. Go Amir Khan! Go Amir. We love you. Be the best you can be.
To us, here at The Twining Chronicles, Amir Khan is a star already. But please read on if you are a Police Officer or are interested in aspects of race relations in this country. This young man is an inspiration to all kids. In the below article, reproduced from the Saturday Times, Amir sends a chilling message to British Muslims. He is proud to be British. He is Muslim and he has condemned acts of terror. We have highlighted the bits we feel are important in Britain today. Khan is still a rising star in boxing terms and we wish him well.
A STRAIGHT LIFT FROM THE TIMES
Amir Khan: “Sometimes you don’t see the appreciation”
Amir Khan, the boxer who was portrayed as a perfect image of multicultural Britain when he won an Olympic silver medal in 2004, said that he would be a bigger star if he was white.
Khan, 22, has been booed regularly by boxing crowds in the past year despite winning a world title in July. “It’s probably jealousy and sometimes skin colour does make a difference,” the fighter said. “I would be a superstar in Britain. I never get racial remarks [said to my face], but it’s always out there, which you can’t stop. You just live and learn about what people are like. I just choose to ignore them.”
He makes the first defence of his WBA light-welterweight title against Dmitri Salita in Newcastle upon Tyne tonight, but has said that he would like to box next year in the United States, where he now trains. He said that he suffered abuse after losing in September last year to Breidis Prescott, of Colombia, which was his only professional defeat.
“Straight after the Prescott fight, when people said, ‘He’s finished’, there were racial remarks made. If you go on the message boards and chat forums there are always people who have to get the religious thing in. But it made me stronger, it made me come back stronger and made be a better fighter.
“I’m proud to be British and it’s a very small minority [that mention race], but it does hurt you and it pushes you all the way. I went to the Olympic Games for Britain and won a medal for Britain and then won a world title for Britain but sometimes you don’t see the appreciation.”
Khan shot to fame at 17 when he boxed at the Athens Olympics in 2004 as a young Muslim with a Pakistani background who was proud to be British. He became a household name by reaching the Olympic final, cheered on by a small group of family and friends waving the Union Jack. His father, Shah, became a regular on television and wore a waistcoat with the Union Jack on it.
The boxer has never avoided confronting issues. He made his professional debut nine days after the 7/7 bombings in London and spoke out, condemning the perpetrators. But he has had to walk a tightrope between cultures.
He has lived all his life in Bolton, where one of his MEPs is Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National Party. He started to get a negative reaction from sections of the crowd after his first defeat, when he was knocked out in just 54 seconds.
Some believe that he is booed because he has been overhyped. Others, including Frank Warren, his promoter, have put it down to rumours of a possible future bout between Khan and Ricky Hatton. But Khan said that he felt religion had no place in sport. His opponent tonight, Salita, is an Orthodox Jew, but both fighters have tried to play down any potential religious rivalry and have shown each other respect.
“I’m a Muslim but I respect other religions and other cultures,” Khan said. “I try to fix things between the Asian community and English community.
“I’m trying to break that barrier and prove to people it’s nothing like that. They have to look that I’m British. I went to the Olympic Games for Britain. I could have chosen to go for Pakistan if we were all like that.”
Just had a colleague Sergeant call and ask how much time would it take to create another 40,000 incidents a year and at what cost. The Inspector, the Chief Inspector and the Supt and Chief Supt all had this query on their desk for months, and all of a sudden it’s been handed down to the Sergeant, who has had less than 24 hours to prepare an answer for the top team in the Force so that they can decide whether employing 2 other employees is worth the cost. If it all goes belly up in the presentation no doubt it will be the Sergeant that takes the wrap. I did say to the Sergeant that he needs to ask the top team:
(1) Why has he been given just 24 hours to give them an answer?
(2) Should he carry a broom stick up his **** as well?
(3) Why can’t they wait 18 months so that this could be tied into a new system avoiding all costs?
Why is it that the career Sergeant always carries the can for the management speaking cha walas who are seeking to move up the cha wala ladder?
There will be a prize for the anyone who can come up with a reasonable and funny suggestion of a serving police leader that this might depict and why?
Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends.
Holders of the office should take decisions based on career aspirations. Why not award a building contract to a mate?
Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might influence them in the performance of their official duties.
Holders must associate with dodgy lawyers.
In carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit.
Holders must always make appointments ot their top team from their golden circle of chums.
Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office.
Holders must never make decisions, for example where a Sergeant is caught on CCTV striking a member of the public in a serious disorder situation, especially where that MOP is provoking the use of violence against that officer; holders in any said office must not use their kahunas and suggest reasonable force was used. Holders must always shut up when to say something would cost them their career in the Home Office.
Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands.
Holders must always withhold information, especially from Black people.
Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest.
Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.
Holders of the said office must never take responsiblity, instead they should lead from the front in disciplining front line staff, whilst never questioning their golden circle
