The London police are racially profiling Muslims on mass transit systems....
Low Key:
From the looks of the replies in this thread, there are a lot of double standards going on. But it's all good because they should have done it a long time ago.
But on another note...

the muslims should understand it too, if i looked like a muslim i wouldnt be cut that they search me, atleast i'd feel safer they are doing their job.

But when you think about it, England has a monarchy. Their top official doesn't get elected in to office every 4 years. The politicians here have to seem as neutral as possible until they get in to office, but by that time, they are usually castrated by the senate or the house before they can do anything at all. Then you have presidents like Bush who tell other politicans to fuck off, and as you can see, people don't like it. If he started racially profiling Muslims, he'd probably get impeached and if that happened, there is no doubt in my mind that he would get the boot.

It's just a symbol. The Queen doesnt have shit to say. It's all on Blair, and he gets elected into office every 4 years. Like Bush.

So thats how United Kingdom elections work?
Don Rizzle:
well she does have a certain amount of influence the prime minister must meet with her once a week and the house of lords is much more loyal to the monarchy however thats not the case so much anymore with the abolishion of heridity lords a few years ago, now its its just the PM who appoints lords now as far as i know? which i don't think is right really i think we should have a cross party commitee to select the peers.
