The London Borough of Harrow's official motto 'Salus populi suprema lex' adorns civic buildings, litter bins, lampposts and street signs across 20 square miles of our capital city's north-western outskirts.
Translated as 'The wellbeing of the people is the highest law', it supposedly reflects the noble spirit in which the council treats its 270,000 tax-paying residents.
That spirit was, however, in very short supply on May 18, when two of Harrow's 'environmental enforcement officers' confronted a local man named Alvin outside the Asian Pearl Seafoods shop on Northolt Road.
Alvin, a heating engineer on his way home from work, had intervened to comfort a teenage girl who had been collared by the duo for allegedly spitting at a bus stop.
The girl, who seemed confused and tearful, was in the process of being slapped with a £100 fine. Alvin asked what concrete evidence the officers had to support the charge. When it emerged that they had none, he advised the child to simply walk away.
There followed a frank exchange of views. The two officers, who wore gangster-style hooded tops under their official vests, decided to deliberately turn off their body-worn cameras before inviting Alvin to step into a nearby alley.
'We're going to make sure you can't work no more and earn no money,' said one. 'I swear, when I'm not in uniform, I'm going to knock you the f*** out and rip your teeth out. Do you know that? If I give you one punch, I'll knock all your teeth out.'
The second officer interjected: 'Don't butt in my business. We've got people to feed.' Then his colleague added: 'If I call a police officer for you, he'll f*** you up, you know, because we work with them and you didn't know that, did you? So come across the road now because I'm going to show you what time it is.'

Everything about this screams “money-making shakedown with thug enforcers”.
Would an investigation turn up evidence that there was pressure on the “contractor” to generate enough revenue from fines to cover its cost to Harrow?
Does the company get a cut of anything above break-even?
Do the “Environmental Enforcement Officers” get bonuses based on quotas and/or revenue they bring in (”We have families to feed”)?
Do the officers pick People of Whiteness to fine and turn a blind eye to Non-White offenders?
“Reform” needs to rip the lid off this.
BTW, there's more incoming...
Attack on independent media escalates (again) — YouTube will have to prioritise ‘MSM’

I like how both these imported clowns were wearing hoodie sweatshirts, to come off gangsta & menacing
