Scholar of Latin America, journalist and anti-imperialist, who leaves a powerful intellectual and political legacy
KEIR STARMER’s reaction to the demand by Black Lives Matter campaigners — that controls on the funding of police forces be utilised to modify the way the police operate — fell squarely into the range of responses that senior law enforcement officials offer when the operations of the state’s coercive apparatus are challenged.
Faced with a popular demand that confronts the code of inviolability with which state institutions cloak themselves, the former Director of Public Prosecutions naturally thought such an outlandish idea was “nonsense.”
In fact, such controls on public expenditure are quite routine. Conservative and Labour governments routinely use funding as a way of compelling local authorities to operate in ways the State prefers.
