What Sunak said is very reminiscent of what Braverman has also said. Except that Sunak doesn't have the courage to say who the "mob" are. But everyone knows. WHy can't Sunak just say it?

Because this is Britain and it causes a furore. Those who think the Jews are the problem fear the consequences of 'just saying it'. If you're an MP and you don't like the direction London is going in, and it's your assertion that this is mainly down to the Muslims .... well there will be negative consequences for you if you just say it. The whole point of introducing a whole raft of speech crime laws, adding to them continually, and applying them with ever more rigor is to prevent people from 'just saying it'.
Politicians are experts at dancing around a subject and knowing just how much ambiguity to add in order to allow a get out clause should they need it. You'll notice they all say 'let me be very clear on this' as a prelude to comments which when analysed will be anything but clear. It's modern Britain I'm afraid, and we've elected and given power to the very politicians that have shaped it this way with their legislation.

(Filched from another thread.)
Can you for one minute envisage an angry demonstration outside parliament in which a speaker told a baying 'union jack' waving mob that he wanted Parliament to have to lock its doors? No, me neither. The Met would sort them out immediately, but as ever, if the baying mob are waving Palestine/Hamas flags the police look the other way. And I don't just blame the police, Khan is the most racist and incompetent mayor to date and is responsible for police partiality, as is the Home Sec and Prime Minister both of whom appear to be frightened of the left wing mob.

They're reaping what they've sown, I'm afraid.
And the public can see it.

The critical turn came in the 1960s when the concept of group rights - as opposed to individual rights - became embedded in British law.

I disagree, things may have changed in the 1960's but the turning point in this country was the early 21st century. Blair, the EU and mass immigration have had and continue to have a massive negative effect on this country.

Amazing, Sunak sees a problem and does nothing. We need a head banger.
A head banger that will knock heads together, starting with the Gaza protestors, and instill law and order, like now.

Indeed, Blairs legacy is a stain on this country.

Without the group rights that were created in law minorities (=migrants) would not have had the expectations of 'equality' and entitlements to resources that they were able to demand and receive from the 1970s onwards.
Blair's Folly was simply a continuation of processes that were already in place; he invented nothing.
You're fingering the wrong culprits.

So Sunak is worried about 'mob rule' - just think if we had someone in a position of power who could do something about that..

It has been one thing after another since the 1870s or there abouts. We started losing at everything and by the 50s we have pretty much lost our empire even if a lot still remained under our control officially. Some say the multicultural thing was a way of making up for the empire so we could till claim our superiority.

The loss of empire, or more acurately the withdrawal from empire, has nothing whatsoever to do with this country's social and moral decline over the past 20 or so years.
