New powers of stop and search- 26 Feb 2005

NEW powers of search should be accepted without complaint, a home office minister has said.

In an off the cuff remark Hazel Blears stated that innocent Muslims would be targeted for searches. When asked why she replied;

“We, the Home Office, have decided that the criteria for searching people is clearly inadequate and needs revision”

 “We have refined our stop and search criteria so as to include a narrow band of society we class as a danger to the rest of us. It is a carefully designed and consists of the following groups of people with key criteria that we would prefer to fondle on the side of the road; Muslims”

 ‘impress Chicks’

 “We understand that this may seem a little narrow minded but please understand we invested a gross amount of money making this list and there is a logic to it. I think it’s something like we feel the threat is most likely to come from those people associated with an extreme form of Islam, or those falsely hiding behind Islam, or some that are sort of hanging around with Islam cuz it’s cool, and maybe those who are like leaning on Islam to impress chicks. Basically, this distils, neatly I may add, into Muslim.”

 “It means that some of our counter-terrorism powers will be disproportionately experienced by the Muslim community. We understand that this idea may appear reprehensible to a large section of the British  population, I would like to take this moment to assure that section that we have their names, we know where you live."

 “We also understand that this may seem at the very least Racist, we at New Labour would like to assure all the people of the UK that if that’s what they are thinking then they are Xenophobic mind militants that are committing hate crimes or something equally puzzling to take your mind off the shite we are trying to introduce here.”

 “Oh and another fucking thing, we want to test the hell out of the goddamn religious people coming in. I mean really pissing test em, we give em 3 days to learn English, at the end of that they get given an entry form and a confession of terrorist intent and told to sign one. Home free with a flat and some new furniture or 25 years in Guatnatamo … Should have paid attention, CONJUGATE CONJUGATE!!. Fuckers.”

 ‘Demonising Community’

 When asked why the policy appeared to clearly state that it was intended to target ‘Innocent Muslims’ the Minister replied “Of course. Health and safety won’t let us search the terrorists. We could get hurt. Besides, we feel that there's going to be  a greater success rate  detecting the innocent ones rather than the other way round. We have league tables too you know.  Besides we at New Labour are well acquainted with the art of divide and conquer, we’ve been doing it at National level since we took power. We anticipate that the marginalisation through fear of a small section of the community should be no problem at all. We also intend to stock pitchforks, torches, and good old hangin rope at the Police station nearest to you. “

 “Fundamentally we are demonising an entire community on the off chance that the rest of the Nation takes matters into their own hands and saves us all a lot of money.”

 Later when questioned again about freedoms within the country and the fact the at the moment it seems the Home Office are utterly determined to lock up the population in fearsome legislation. Day after day after day a new assault on liberty coming from that office. Ms Blear responded by shouting “Fuck off Paki lovin Bastard!” at the reporter and proceeded to nut him whilst singing “There will always be an England !”
