Sky News is hardly objective – or reliable – but it possesses that efficiency often evident in the right-wing, and it can be inadvertently “funny” in its “reaching” for a racially motivated headline that is suitable and acceptable in the current climate (why not “Indian” rather than “African” elephants?) On the other hand, what you are seeing here – is the destructive nature of predatory capitalism practiced by an individual whose ancestral country was historically destroyed by the British – in much the same way he is now initiating in the UK (although on an infinitely reduced scale – as a greedy businessmen [of a non-White ethnicity] is an empowered individual – not an invading State utilising a State’s resources). Capitalism has no respect for tradition – or even social order and stability. This convicted character – “Datta” (an “Indian” surname) – lives in the affluent “Belgravia” area of London which is thoroughly bourgeois and hostile to the workers (of any skin-tone). He is exploiting his workers just as he exploits the English countryside (I suspect he holds exactly the same viewpoints as his White bourgeois colleagues – even though they would reject him due to his ethnicity). Although the political right focuses upon “race” – the issue is in fact “capitalism” – and its maniacal drive for continues profit at the cost of personal and environmental well-being. Datta was attempting to up his profit-levels by reducing his costs. He set-out to achieve this by ignoring UK law and dumping rubbish throughout the legally protected natural reserves and locations of protected natural beauty. Again, the media will imply “evil” (Judeo-Christian) – but the reality is nothing but the normal functioning of the destructive socio-economic forces that define predatory capitalism. This is how capitalism makes fools of us all – it is not Datta’s race that is the issue – but rather his poor choice of socio-economic models. Of course, elephants are not part of any of it – at least not directly.
