Dizaei Conviction: BNP Demands Inquiry into Political Correctness at Metropolitan Police
British National Party legal director Lee Barnes LLB has demanded an inquiry into the extent of political correctness within the police service and the role of the Black Police Officers’ Association in covering up allegations against now convicted police commander Ali Dizaei.
“The real issue regarding the conviction of the corrupt Mr Dizaei is not his criminal behaviour, but the actions of the Metropolitan Police and the National Black Police Officers Association (NBPA),” Mr Barnes told BNP News.
“For years the police have investigated Dizaei for a string of allegations including threats to kill, fraud, corruption and perverting the course of justice.
“But every time he has managed to play the race card and escape prosecution, both in the courts and in the police service,” Mr Barnes said.
“It appears that whilst the era of ‘The Untouchables’ as regards gangsters is over, there are certain police officers who can act like gangsters and remain as untouchables.”
Mr Barnes said the BNP therefore demand an immediate public inquiry into the extent that political correctness within the police service facilitated the commission of crimes by Mr Dizaei.
In addition, there also needs to be an investigation into the role of the Black Police Officers Association and its support for Mr Dizaei.
“Such an inquiry must focus on whether that group is able to influence the police service through the threat of calling any critic a racist,” Mr Barnes said.
“It seems to observers that the police service were so frightened of attack by the NBPA that they effectively gave Iranian-born Mr Dizaei a license to do as he wished.”
Mr Barnes also called for a separate inquiry into whether “the existence of the NBPA is divisive and is placing the public and other police officers at risk due to its unqualified support for ethnic officers and its ability to terrorise the police service into obeying its demands.
“The true scandal in this case is that the police service have become so cowed by the threat of racism, that it is unable to police itself,” he continued.
“The old saying ‘who polices the police?’ is of paramount importance in a democracy. This is especially so where the legal and lobbying power of ethnic minority groups within society and the police service is such that an entire public service can be held to ransom by playing the race card.
“The pernicious effects of political correctness on our society impacts at many different levels, from the failure of the Equality and Human Rights Commission to investigate anti-white racist attacks and taking legal action to prevent the NBPA having a blacks-only membership policy,” Mr Barnes said.
The BNP was actively pursued by the EHRC but the NBPA was left free to have exactly the same membership criteria.
“The British public support the police, but they are increasingly being seen as the paramilitary wing of the Labour Party who arrest people for thought crimes whilst protecting gangsters within their own ranks,” Mr Barnes said.
“The police must serve the people and our communities, not New Labour, the Tories or political correctness. There is only one law in our country and it must apply equally to all,” Mr Barnes concluded.
