Well, those upper-class SJWs (social
justice wankers) who blocked the runway at London’s City Airport causing mayhem
and annoyance got one thing right. As she was sentenced to a derisory
conditional discharge and £95 costs, Ms Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes (no, really)
commented ‘Go white privilege’.
It certainly looked as if she might
be on to something. After all this bunch of jokers delayed 9,000 passengers and
cost a shedload of cash. How could the court’s refusal to punish them be
anything else than privilege in action? Especially if you consider that in the
case of two of Twisleton’s co-defendants it wasn’t even a first offence or even
the first time they had disrupted an airport. Esme Waldron and Churston Ferrers
(no, really) have previous for blocking a tunnel to Heathrow and causing chaos for
which they were also fined a derisory sum.
So this bunch of white ‘Black Lives
Matter activists’ (no, really) are undoubtedly beneficiaries of privilege. But ‘white’
privilege? It turns out that on this point, as very likely on just about any
subject she has an opinion, Ms Twisleton is pathetically deluded. Though she
studied English at university she doesn’t seem to have put it to much use in
keeping up with current affairs. If she had, she would have heard about the
working-class white man from Bristol, Kevin Crehan, who is currently at the
arse end of a year in the clink for putting bacon rashers on a mosque door
handle and abusing a worshipper. Not much evidence of ‘white privilege’ in his
case. Or in the very many similar cases of working class whites that have been
jailed for annoying Muslims.
‘Why working class whites?’ you may
ask. Very simply because they are the ones who have to live next to the millions
of inassimilable Muslims their upper-class betters have gifted the country. But
I digress.
It’s not even what you might call ‘upper-class
twat privilege’, because if these clots had blocked the drive of a mosque rather
than an airport runway and annoyed a dozen Muslims rather than 9,000 travellers,
they’d have a very different experience of the British justice system. And the only
white privilege they’d benefit from would be their skin’s superior vitamin D synthesization
as they languished in a dim cell while enjoying some interesting novelties in
their sex lives at Her Majesty’s pleasure.
No, the reason they went unpunished is
that Twisleton and her buddies benefitted not from ‘white privilege’ but from ‘lefty
privilege’. Britain is run by the liberal-left who have corrupted the justice
system so that those who break the law to further a left-wing cause are hardly punished,
while those who commit trivial offences against lefty pieties are stamped on
with implacable severity. That’s why you can cause hundreds of thousands of
pounds of damage to nuclear power stations or shale gas installations and get
off scot-free. That’s why it took so long to deal with the animal rights
terrorists who made life hell for Life Sciences employees. But that’s also why those who merely burn a koran,
demonstrate with the EDL, or leave a tasty pork product anywhere near a mosque are
invariably banged up.
The tragic aspect of the story is
that poor deluded Twisleton was probably sincere in her ‘Go white privilege’
comment and a bit disappointed not to have annoyed the powers that be a little
more. She is clearly oblivious to the sad truth that far from being dashing
rebels in the mould of Che, she and her spoiled comrades are indulged by the
establishment because they are utter conformists to the liberal left worldview
and so are absolutely no threat to it.
Go lefty privilege!
If this ruthless truth depresses her
and she still hankers after the thrill of real rebellion, she might like to
visit the pork counter in her local Fortnum and Mason’s.
Welcome back. Your spot on commentary and biting wit were sorely missed.
