   Racists always tar entire groups with the same brush. When it comes to their   
   own tribe they simply dismiss it or blame it on a few bad apples.   
      
   It was depressingly familiar to hear Trump blaming his latest Supreme Court   
   defeat in "foreign influences". Someone else is always to blame.

   Newspaper headlines of "Randy Andy" might have been a hint that he was a dark   
   horse, needed to be reined in.   
      
   Britain has a long history of cover-up of scandals involving royalty,   
   aristocracy, the upper-classes, the elite and politicians, turning a blind eye   
   to dodgy behaviour, embracing those others wouldn't touch with a barge pole.   
      
   Criminals and crooks in the upper tier rarely face justice. meanwhile those   
   supporting a group they don't believe should ever have been proscribed are   
   prosecuted as terrorists.
