"No return to 'Life on Mars' policing" |
Respect MP George Galloway has tabled a parliamentary motion today condemning the rush to return to 1970s style policing, which targeted young black and Asian people, criminalising a generation, poisoning community relations and eventually erupting in flames.
"It would be Ashes to Ashes indeed, if Gordon Brown - in a race to the bottom of the barrel with David Cameron - were to scrap the lessons of the Macpherson report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence and unleash untrammelled police powers back into the same communities," says Galloway.
"We urge everyone to demand their MP signs this motion. This is an issue across Britain, but nowhere more so than in London, where I am determined to intervene to ensure that bigotry and institutionalised racism is beaten back at the ballot box when London votes on 1 May."
