Labour Friends of Israel vice-chair and “Temu Enoch Powell” Mike Tapp has condoned wanton and unnecessary police violence against the Golders Green stabbings suspect, an already immobilised man living with mental health issues.

Tapp’s eagerness to attack Jewish Green Party leader Zack Polanski is clearly huge. So huge that he doesn’t care that attacking someone for condemning criminal violence isn’t a good look — and we’ve got the receipts to show.

That’s exactly what he did when Polanski shared a post condemning Met police officers for repeatedly kicking the Golders Green suspect in the head.

The man has a known history of mental health issues and violence and had just stabbed two people at random. However, he was already down, not moving, and almost incapable of resistance:

Tapp was incensed that Polanski had dared to ‘repost’ a critique of Met officers for “repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head.”

As far as Tapp is concerned, he is “disgusted” that anyone who opposes such violence is in politics. Opposing police violence, or even sharing a post that notes it, is “a new low”, he thinks:

I’m disgusted that anyone with this view is leading any political party. The Green Party has hit a new low. https://t.co/praIgHGusn

The ‘Temu Powell’

Tapp earned the nickname ‘Temu Enoch Powell’ for his enthusiasm for deporting immigrants and falsely linking paedophilia to Muslims. Of course, it would be churlish to suggest that this has anything to do with their skin shade or religion.

Tapp’s vile views no doubt appeal to a certain section of the knuckle-dragging public. Happily, it also disgusts lots of more thinking people and his post got short shrift:

It is clear to anyone who watches the video that the police used unnecessary force. Kicking a suspect repeatedly in the head whilst they lie on the ground is a disgrace. Officers should be sacked immediately.

The suspect had been handcuffed and tasered. Police had no need to keep repeatedly kicking him in the head. Why would any reasonable human being think otherwise?

Others pointed out, perfectly accurately, that if anyone has a paedophile tendency, it’s the Israel-supporting Labour right to which Tapp belongs:

I’m disgusted that you’re part of Labour Friends of Israel which has had three paedo cases on its books recently and that you represent a party which expels “the wrong kind” of holocaust descendant by the dozen.

Still, as a ghoulish friend-of-genocidal-Israel, Tapp may have a bit of a blind spot. Such violence is routinely perpetrated by Israeli police and troops against helpless Palestinians.
