“it was possible to unleash murderous havoc in Trinidad and more or less get away with it”
Trinidad seems so far away. One of those “other places” that aren’t really like the UK. But why is Trinidad different? And are those differences narrowing?
Well, if the police are weak, government cowers, and civil society is fragmented then Trinidad is exactly what you get.
It is a future that awaits us in the UK. You can see such a fate in Portland and some other West Coast cities of the US. In the UK, police are running away from lone violent attackers attacking a colleague. They’re going to flee anything more sustained and widespread. It is why the violent element of BLM was officially tolerated by the police – they weren’t able to police it so they officially accepted it lest they reveal their weakness and encourage other groups.
Perhaps stuffing the police with humanities graduates wasn’t such a great idea.
Yes, the forces of law and order appear to have been taught to be useless. My sister was burgled before Christmas some years ago and all the officer who came out could say was that it was understandable she should be burgled as the thief would have needed to get presents for his kids. Anyone with some “political” message has been allowed to disrupt life with little hindrance from the police and those guarding our paintings seem to have adopted the same approach in contrast to those on the continent.
Economic crime has been downgraded so that the public is engulfed in a tsunami of scams and fraud that goes largely uninvestigated and unpunished.
But some people think the Great Selfie Riot of 6 January was also a coup attempt, a couple people got killed including a police officer and then on the other hand, it seems like a lot of people were just doing that for a laugh.

These thugs had to capture there television station in order to see themselves on the news. The MSM in the UK and United States willfully choose to televise our riff raff.

It’s probably best to liquidate all wannabe jihadis as soon as they are spotted. Just make them disappear. Hey presto, peace all round and fewer mentalists launching suicide attacks and killing people.

All that the economically moribund ( aside from tourism and tax haven) Caribbean needs is Islamic extremism! At least they wont be able to blame it on whites and the slave trade…
