Crime, Punishment and the Liberal Delusion

London these days is one hell of a place. You can see world renowned landmarks and shows, and then a few hours later see a man running down a street with a machete. Of course the demographic responsible for the creation of the former doesn’t usually end up committing the latter. Indeed, it was Enoch Powell who famously stated ‘With the lapse of a generation or so we shall at last have succeeded – to the benefit of nobody – in reproducing in England’s green and pleasant land the haunting tragedy of the United States.’ Stating that liberal policy – along with capitalist hunger for cheap labour – has imported a problem into our nation’s capital is a harsh yet accurate description.

Powell, both through study and life experience, knew the substantial differences that existed between populations and wanted to avoid the resulting consequences that have permanently fractured America. For a quick statistical referencing in backing up his point, you have to look no further than the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s crime statistics. Not only do Blacks commit violent crime at a much higher rate than other groups, but wealthy Blacks are more likely to commit crime than poor Whites. And even more remarkably, Black females are more likely to commit murder than White males in the 15-34 age range. This is the only example among humans where a female population is more dangerous than a male one.

Rather than deportation or mass incarceration of such offenders (either would suffice), our political class instead remain determined to simply achieve equality of outcomes. Every diversity initiative, talking point and programme is simply an ignorance of biology or a short term fix. Not everyone in this world however is so delusional. Recently in El Salvador, the newly elected president has gone full based and implemented a programme of mass incarceration for gang members. Thousands of tattooed criminal thugs – who have plagued the country for decades – are now all behind bars. The result of this is crime rates have collapsed, with the murder rate dropping by 59% between 2019 and 2021, and it has continued to recede further.

Dealing with violent crime is a major factor in determining whether your society is safe and productive or not. I suspect one of the reasons London’s 24 hour culture – especially its night life – has decreased over the last 15 years is largely due to crime from certain groups. (Not that anyone will admit this of course but there has been a substantial change). And even if the country was homogenous, there would still be problems if the tiny minority of prolific offenders were allowed to reoffend. For example 91,000 phones were stolen in London last year, with most of them taken by a few gangs operating from a handful of addresses.

Career criminals

The Police’s pathetic response is that they can ‘do nothing’, and as a result the city continues to deteriorate. Mass incarceration – even of repeat offenders – has been made into a dirty phrase by decades of liberal mass media. The reality though is that imprisoning the tiny minority of the population who are dangerous would make our country much safer. Currently 44% of criminalswho are released from custody are re-admitted within a year, which proves that longer sentences would help reduce crime if they were implemented. The current practise of releasing convicts half way through their sentences often just leads to them re-offending. For example, Reece Pryce was convicted in March for chasing people with a knife and had 32(!) previous convictions. Whilst in February Levant Hassan was convicted for assault in Brighton and had 18(!) previous convictions.

People do indeed change, but not in the way liberals think they do. Liberals think that people can learn from their mistakes, turn their lives around and become productive members of society. This is true for some offenders and the majority of the population, but in reality all societies have a dangerous minority of repeat offenders who can’t change. Pragmatically speaking we are dealing with a ‘new’ population who don’t respond to the same life lessons that others come to understand. Of course there are serial White offenders, but they’re a much smaller phenomenon on a per-capita basis. Liberals are quite happy to point out that men make up the majority of criminals – that aligns with their narrative – but won’t go any further to see which men are doing it.

The same champagne socialist who welcomes an Albanian landing in Kent will complain about gang violence near his London home without a shred of irony. He’s also more likely to cross the street when certain groups of men are approaching him than others, yet will still go on Twitter to call people racist. He’ll then complain about a low level offender being sent to prison, only to have his phone stolen the very next day. His cognitive dissonance may seem funny, but it has consequences that translate into insane criminal justice policy.
