To test an antibiotic bacteria are introduced to a petri dish with a pink substrate. The infection spreads slowly at first but before long expands across the dish at an accelerating rate. There comes a point where antibiotics no longer work, as when an infection turns into sepsis, and the petri dish turns black.

We are the pink substrate into which the left have been introduced in the petri dishes of western countries. Are we at a point where political antibiotics no longer work? We need a very strong political antibiotic now before it is too late. It may already be too late, but we can at least preserve some self-respect and go down fighting.

Hard but dreadfully true. I saw it both in the Police and the Civil Service. Object and you are sanctioned or 'taken aside' by your Supervisor - spoken to about your attitude and inherent white prejudices. It's only getting worse unfortunately

Excellent article Laura, totally agree with the lack of professionalism by so called professionals. Every time I see the beauty of young Grace and the contrasting evil face of the killer it causes my hackles to rise. Will there be true justice for all the victims, no chance!

Great article Laura,

Stout Yeoman is exactly right. There is no WILL in this or the last government to do anything that will stop this. A gradual change is not enough, it requires an earthquake to destroy the appeasing establishment from allowing us all to perish. Just ask Iran or Lebanon !

Brilliant piece, Laura - thanks for having the courage to write it. Will things ever be normal again? It's so frightening.

But thanks for the beautiful little video - just love figure-skating & watched it all - maybe if I'm reincarnated !

Don't really understand remark about sectors not included - people who can actually skate competitively at that level must be quite rare in the population ?

Pretty sad eh. Canada unfortunately is no better or wiser. Claim to be a black native of female persuasion. That will get you off a lot of prosecutorial action and at the very least land you in a women’s prison where you can terrorize and rape your traumatized cellmate. Sick.
