Profiling! Profiling! Profiling!

Profiling is one of the clear subjects where it can be seen that ideology is running completely contrary to common sense and actually killing people. In any other walk of life profiling is useful. Shops do it – they identify the demographic of their customers and stock accordingly. Amazon does it automatically by checking your viewing and buying habits on its site and highlighting suggestions. Other Internet sites work similarly, with the annoying result of all those junk mails you have to delete. It’s standard, because it works. It’s advertising that saves money (as opposed to mass mailing), it enables shops to target customers or work out how to aim for new ones. They use demographics.

However, in politically correct and multicultural government land it mustn’t be done. When the aim isn’t to sell a few extra pairs of knickers but to prevent some nutter dropping a plane out of the sky, blowing apart and incinerating innocent civilians, or maybe slicing up a stewardess then flying a plane into an office block, the forces of law and order must first avoid any accusation of sexism or racism, and most definitely must not offend the sensibilities of worshippers of a medieval religion of hate.

Yet profiling works. Identifying the demographic of those most likely to spend their cash on bulk-bough chemicals and stuff their underpants with plastic explosive is not difficult. Who flew planes into the twin towers, who tube-fried London Underground passengers, who just attempted to bring down this recent trans-Atlantic flight? None of these people were blue-rinse grannies, the old men were quickly locating the plane’s toilet because of prostate problems, not because they wanted to assemble a bomb, the white teenagers were annoyed because they couldn’t use their mobile phones and not because they were surrounded by godless infidels.

No, the people that do these things are young men, usually of a black or dusky colour, inevitably worshippers of Islam and generally have names like: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Muktar Said Ibraihim, Yasin Hassan Omar, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi Marwan al-Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah, and Ramzi Binalshibh. Now, maybe I’m a bit thick, but I’m sure I can see a pattern here that might be useful in profiling…

Scum

There is, according to a government spokesweasel, a direct connection between truancy and poverty. The attempt here was to suggest that poverty causes truancy, in the same way that similar spokesweasels have tried to suggest that poverty causes crime, vandalism, drug-taking, exam failure, bad nutrition or whatever social ill you care to name. Connection, being just as much a weasel word as correlation (one Al Gore might even know the meaning of now), and neither of these are ‘cause’. Pointing out a ‘connection’ is useless. I can say that there is a connection between politics and expenses fraud, but this tends leave other links in the chain like, for example, thieving politicians. So let’s sort out directly connected links and look at causes. The children of scum, whilst turning into scum themselves, are more likely to play truant; scum are the cause of most crimes, either to feed a drug habit or because they have never learnt right from wrong; scum impoverish themselves, because they are generally … lazy dole-scrounging scum. And if we go further we see that the welfare state and government busy bodies increasingly ordering people’s lives and destroying that thing called reponsibility, cause scum. That government spokesweasel should have said, “Tosser politicians trying to apply a bankrupt ideology are the cause of the scum in this country, but then they are lazy thieving scum themselves and like the company.”

Why I Hate Television

Mummy protested at Greenham Common and now grows organic vegetables at our house in Berkshire, Daddy worked in the City trading in sub-primes and has now moved into carbon futures. I went to Oxbridge where I studied Media & Film and Political Science. I got a first for my dissertation on ‘Russian Poverty and the Rise of Social Justice Under Stalin’, which was a surprise, since I spent so much time protesting against Global Capitalism and smoking dope in Mummy’s flat in Notting Hill. Then I bought a Prius and got a job at the BBC on £50,000 a year.

It’s a given that the TV media has been taken over by lefty-liberal hypocrites and is the propaganda arm of similar lefty-liberal hypocrites who wholly occupy the three main political parties. The typical short bio of a TV producer above is why television has devalued and dumbed-down its news and entertainment, and why people seek both of these on the Internet now. And don’t expect this to change any time soon. Anyone who questions the consensus of these people won’t get past the security guard now, or, if they are already past the door get ousted in regular pogroms, hence we see David Bellamy dragged to the back of the gravy train with environmental correspondents holding his ankles and clutching his beard, then tossed off into nettles, stones and last year’s designer plastic water bottles.

Now, I cannot enjoy a wildlife program without being lectured by Attenborough on how my flat screen TV is killing Polar bears. Every fiction must have its token black man, gay with AIDs and battered mother, whilst the likes of Spooks can never venture near the truth; no Islamic murderers trying to tube-fry citizens since they’ll inevitably turn out to be working for the Mossad or the evil Americans. And every police procedural must propound the truth that thieves and granny-rapers were abused by their fathers and driven to desperation by poverty.

Floods and warm summers are always due to global warming, whilst ten years of cold is just ‘the weather’, and fraud can only be committed by ‘deniers’ and ‘flat earthers’. Gays must at once be promoted to the position of ‘quirky’ presenter whilst we must gloss over the fact that ‘peaceful’ Moslems want them stoned to death. Women’s rights are important, but you must never question the cultural diversity of those who would snip off their clits, bag them like potatoes and murder them should they try to marry outside of the religious ghetto. The Copenhagen delegates who flooded Danish airports with private jets and rented every luxury limo in the country are trying to save the planet, don’t you know? Balance in current affairs programs, say, for example, one about immigration, is essential. This requires a government spokesweasel telling us about the joys of multiculturalism balanced against the racism of crack-smoking hoodies from Hackney.

And you, dear viewer, are stupid stupid stupid, and if you don’t listen to what we’re telling you we’ll bombard you with X-factor, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and soaps until you submit. But really, we don’t care, because we’re off to do a documentary about sea-level rise in the Maldives and if you don’t pay your license fee you will be prosecuted.
