The truth of Manchester Airport has just been revealed.

The plot predictably thickens...

'Kow-tow' is one of the very few words to enter the English language from Mandarin, rather than the reverse. It was a common practice in Imperial China towards superiors, where one lies completely prostrate with arms outstretched in an act of total submission. Upon his meeting the Jiaqing Emperor in 1816, British diplomat William Amherst refused to perform the traditional kow-tow, as other European agents had done to facilitate trade - an incident the Qing Dynasty saw as a severe breach of etiquette.

As a representative of the British Crown however, Amherst felt he could not be seen as subservient to a foreign ruler. He and his party were duly expelled from China, a diplomatic rebuke that angered the British government and ultimately led to the First Opium War. Or as contemporary US President, John Quincy Adams, put it - "The opium trade is a mere incident to the dispute… The cause of this war is the kow-tow. The arrogant and insupportable pretensions of China that she will hold commercial intercourse with the rest of mankind, not upon terms of equal reciprocity, but upon the insulting and degrading forms of the relation between lord and vassal."

Not that you'll learn any of that in a British school today. If our children are taught anything about that war, they’re doubtless informed our ancestors were nothing but greedy, racist, old white men seeking to bully a technologically inferior, but infinitely more noble, people.

Personally I like the term - in linguistics, a foreign word is typically adopted only when no equivalent synonym already exists within that language, e.g. the Japanese term for 'ice cream' is aisu kurīmu, and it pleases me to think that a ritualised act of abject subservience was so alien to the English that it took a foreign culture to introduce it to us.

Alas, the concept is alien no longer. Everywhere one looks our cultural elites can be seen jockeying for position to abase themselves before those they consider moral superiors. We saw it during our capitulations negations with the EU, we saw it during the BLM riots peaceful protests, and we see it today in the pathetic response by our cultural elites to the recent incidents in Manchester and Leeds.

Just as I predicted, a video has now emerged showing the true story. CCTV footage clarifies that the two Muslim men immediately resisted arrest by lashing out with breathtaking violence, throwing fists square in the faces of armed police officers, male and female alike. Had this been any other country’s airport security, the men would doubtless be 6 ft underground by now, and the officer at the centre of the furore given a medal for valour. This is modern Britain however, so naturally the vicious thugs were promptly released and the policeman suspended, pending a criminal investigation against himself.

Why did it take so long for such footage to surface? It doesn’t appear to be from any official source, so one must assume it was leaked by an understandably infuriated insider at the false narrative making the rounds, and the sanctimonious lies of the men’s lawyer. Another question that arises immediately is whether employing two petite female officers in an armed response unit is entirely wise, given the fact a teenage boy can easily batter them to the ground within seconds… But the police’s DEI hiring practices is an article in its own right, and we shall leave that for another time.

One thing at least we know for certain; that the upper echelons of constabulary hierarchy is become rotten to the core. Last year, Suella Braverman wrote an opinion piece published in The Times, in which she criticised senior police officers for playing favourites when it comes to protesters, and were tougher on ‘right-wing extremists’ than ‘pro-Palestinian mobs’. A critique undoubtably shared by the population at large, but which was apparently beyond the pale for Rishi Sunak, who promptly dismissed her as Home Secretary.

At the time, I remember reading a rather pathetic Spectator article following the pro-Hamas marches during Remembrance Sunday. The author reflected on an encounter he experienced – “Anyway, well done you guys, you have a tough job, policing this, you do it well’ and as I said this a Muslim girl in a hijab overheard the exchange and politely interrupted to say ‘yes, I agree, thank you’ to the policeman, adding ‘you’ve been amazing’. She obviously meant it; he looked properly touched. It was a rare moment of human decency on a desolate day. In the middle of all the media lies and the ethnic hatred, I am clinging on to that. We have to cling on to that.”

Indeed, I'm sure the kindly hijabi was immensely grateful. I'd be thrilled myself if police had provided a private escort for me to celebrate my ethno-centric bigotry through the capital city, and by so doing desecrate a sacred day for the native population. One wonders if hundreds of thousands of pro-Israelis marched through the streets of Islamabad on Pakistan's ‘Defence Day’, whether the local police and people would be quite as accommodating as ours have been.

In demonstration of the two-tiered policing reality, one need only imagine a scenario where the ethnicities involved in Manchester Airport were reversed. Had white Englishmen been swinging punches in the face of two hijabed policewomen, one seriously doubts they’d be walking the streets complaining of ‘police brutality’ a few hours later, or that MPs would be standing up in parliament demanding justice for them and for the white English community in general.

The fact is these tactics are merely a product of the environment. During my time working in Perinatal Psychiatry, women would frequently despair of their unruly children. The advice I’d give was always the same - set clear boundaries and stick to them, no matter what. The moment you start compromising and accommodating the jig is up. Kids, as with all human beings, are but pattern recognition machines; by rewarding bad behaviour all you’re doing is making such behaviour more likely in future. It teaches the worst possible lessons, e.g. if I only scream and shout for long enough, then eventually I’ll get what I want - a slippery slope that ultimately leads to ruination for the whole family.

Rochdale is a perfect microcosm of the crisis in the country as a whole. In Pakistan, whence the vast majority of Muslims there originate, state policing is capricious and sporadically enforced. Indeed, in the vast rural hinterlands it is barely a presence at all. Security therefore depends on the ancient source of extended family ties and tribal allegiances. If one gang-rapes an underage girl from a nearby village, you’d better be prepared for her father, uncles, brothers and cousins to quickly hunt you down and lynch you to death, with little fear of any official repurcussions. The common practice of cousin marriages there is largely so that split allegiances do not occur whenever such feuds arise.

Barbaric as it seems to us, this practice of vigilante justice is actually the default for most of humanity, as it was for us before we invented the world’s first statutory police force during the 17^th Century. Violence didn’t disappear, it simply became monopolised by the state. The British people quickly came to accept this arrangement, provided police were seen to enforce such violence ‘without fear or favour.’ In fairness, they adhered to this remit with remarkable consistently in the centuries since. That is, until mass-immigration shattered our once-homogonous society and balkanised it into a series of competing tribes, who just happen to share the same geographic landmass.

When Muslim men in Rochdale found they could go out and rape white, English children with impunity, not only without fear of reprisals from the girls’ male relatives, but also use the race card to frighten off police with ease (inconceivable in their homeland) they capitalised on the situation with remarkable speed and efficiency. Some of the earliest reports of so-called ‘grooming gangs’ date back to the 1960s, shortly after Pakistani Muslims first began immigrating in significant numbers. As Donald Rumsfeld so adroitly stated, ‘Weakness is provocative.’

The situation we find ourselves in reminds me of a fable from Aesop: -

‘When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened, and ran away and hid himself in the wood. Next time however he came near the King of Beasts, he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by. The third time they came near one another, the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him, asking how his family were, and when he should have the pleasure of seeing him again; then turning his tail, he parted from the Lion without much ceremony.’

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Muslims who have immigrated to our nation, especially post sexual-revolution, are extremely familiar with our culture, and found it sorely wanting. On the other hand, when we are taught of Islamic culture, at least in an official capacity, we are informed it is nothing but a wonderfully peaceful and compassionate ideology, responsible for most of the inventions throughout history dontcha know? Any faults we may see in it are truly just bigotries held in the eye of the beholder.

So long as this remains the case, expect the kow-tows, and the crisis itself, to continue getting worse.
