183 Controversy (1100 Commuter Pass Plus Update)
In the face of problems, it is not advisable to blindly shirk responsibility, since the problem occurs, it must be something wrong, not the responsibility of subordinates, or the responsibility of leaders.
But taking responsibility also requires skill, and you can't take any responsibility on yourself, which is not responsible but stupid.
Roque is definitely not stupid, so Roque is not responsible, at least not subjectively, which is a salvageable object.
Ade is not stupid, so Ade does not need to bear "leadership responsibility", the person who invented this word must not be a leader, at least not a qualified leader, and a leader cannot be responsible.
The police of the Johannesburg Police Service are also not responsible, they do what they do, and it is not their job to disseminate the law to the public, it is the job of the municipality.
Even those who are responsible, their responsibility, after they have been punished, becomes insignificant.
So who is responsible?
It's the guys who deliberately make waves on this issue.
"At this stage, the power of the courts is still limited, and the judges do not have more time and energy to waste on these trivial matters, and the city government does not want to increase expenditure in this area, so it gives this part of the power to the police; The police may not have enough consideration when exercising this part of their powers, but the starting point of dealing with the problem is definitely not because of the color of the skin, but from the severity of the crime, to punish the criminals; If citizens have an opinion about the implementation of the police department, then I think they should respond to the city government or the police department rather than write an article to publish it in the newspaper, which is absolutely undesirable and must be resolutely stopped. "Roque is now going to be held accountable, and no matter what reason William Temple provoked this, Roque will not let him go.
"Reporting to the police department for police enforcement violations, do you think this is the solution to the problem?" Ade obviously doesn't think so, so the mockery is obvious.
"Responding to the police department cannot solve the problem, and it can also be reported to the higher-level leadership department of the police department, and if it is not possible, it can also be reported to the governor's office, which is a normal way to respond to the problem, and in any case, it is not possible to directly hand over the problem to the citizens for discussion, which is an irresponsible attitude, and in the end it is not conducive to the solution of the problem, and may even exacerbate the conflict, so this kind of behavior is absolutely undesirable." Roque insisted that the Board of Education is also a government agency, and publishing articles directly in newspapers is tantamount to internal exposure, and the consequences are serious.
Both the police department and the Board of Education are under the authority of the city government, and if members of the Board of Education have an opinion about the work of the police department, they can communicate directly with Roque and report to Philip, which is a normal way.
Publishing the article directly in the newspaper would be tantamount to flipping the table, and not only Roque should oppose it, but the entire bureaucracy should oppose this kind of behavior.
Not to mention that William Temple's behavior has caused serious consequences, even if Roque doesn't say it, Ade shouldn't let William Temple go, if everyone is like William Temple, then everyone should stop working, do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good.
One of the most realistic reasons is that William Temple exposed the work of the police department, and conversely, the police department can also expose the inaction of the board of education, and everyone is not clean on the buttocks, so they hide their butts a little better from back to back, and if they expose their butts face to face, then everyone has no face.
When it comes to the inaction of the Board of Education, it has to do with the overall environment.
Sargent, the director of education in the Transvaal and Orange, was sent from London, and in order to better assimilate the Boers, Sargent pursued British school policies in the Transvaal and Orange.
As a result, the British teaching policy was strongly resisted by the Boers in Orange, who did not allow their children to attend government-built schools, and formed the "Association of African Languages" to fight against Sargent.
Sargent's attention was in Orange during this time, and he didn't care about the Transvaal at all.
As for Johannesburg, because of the presence of Ziwei Public School, the government-built schools have lost their attractiveness, and even government officials want to send their children to Ziwei Public School, leaving only some ordinary citizens and ordinary government employees to go to school.
So William Temple's public opinion offensive against the Johannesburg Police Department really can't be pondered.
Ade also knows that the problem is very serious, but in the current situation, Ade actually can't help it.
As the governor, Ade's work is not limited to education and law and order, economic development, social stability, and popular desire are the main issues that Ade considers.
However, education and public order cannot be left unchecked, and without good public order, there will be no economic development and social stability.
Education is more related to the long-term stability of southern Africa, if you can't smoothly assimilate the Boers, then the Boers will have to find trouble sooner or later, so Ade now thinks of William Temple and has a little itchy teeth, he didn't do his job well, and he reached out to the police station, really-
So Ade didn't know what Roque meant by holding William Temple responsible.
"No matter what you do, solve this problem first, if there are similar incidents in the future, then you all go back to your fiefdom to retire!" Ade is ruthless, which may be a threat to Henry, and for Roque-
To be honest, when Roque heard Ade say this, his first reaction was not panic, but joy.
Now Johannesburg, if there are no more than 100,000 Chinese, it is really not as attractive to Roque as Nyasaland.
During his few months in Nyasaland, Roque was really content and relaxed.
In Johannesburg, whatever Roque wanted to do, he was subject to the control of the city government and the governor's palace.
In Nyasaland, Roque has no scruples, he can do whatever he wants, he doesn't need to ask someone's opinion, he doesn't need to consider someone's reaction, and he doesn't need to worry about other people's eyes, in just a few months, Roque has fallen in love with Nyasaland, and when he returned to Johannesburg, Roque's mood was heavier than going to the grave.
When he walked out of the Governor's Palace, Henry was still a little anxious: "What should I do?" Should we go back and revise the "Public Security Administration Regulations"? ”
Henry was really frightened by Ade's threat, compared to the thriving Nyasaland, Favarte was a steel mill in addition to a cement factory, and Henry didn't want to spend the rest of his life burning cement except steelmaking.
"Why modify? The current "Public Security Administration Regulations" are very reasonable, and the Governor did not say that we should revise them. "Roque is reluctant to revise it, the current "Public Security Administration Regulations" is perfect for the Chinese, and Roque has no need to ask for trouble.
In fact, Cape Town also has regulations such as the "Public Security Administration Regulations", and the reason why Roque is reluctant to use them is because there are a large number of discriminatory provisions against people of color, and these provisions are deleted one by one in the Transvaal version of the "Public Security Administration Regulations", so that Chinese people can be like fish in water in the Transvaal.
"But the Governor said that if something like this happens, we'll be in trouble!" Henry is a mess of himself.
"Hmph, the Governor did say so, then prohibit similar incidents." Roque will carry out Ade's orders "to the letter", of course, for Ade's orders, Roque and Henry have a certain deviation in their understanding.
"The Governor means that if anyone makes any more nonsense in the newspaper, then the newspaper office will be closed, and then the relevant responsible person will be arrested, in short, don't think about running away for a month." Roque was murderous.
"Did the Governor really say that?" Henry was a little confused, as if he and Roque were not the same governor.
"Yes, that's what I said!" Roque swore that he would return to Johannesburg, and Roque began to pick up William Temple.
Before that, of course, Roque went to find Owen first.
"Why did William Temple's article appear in the Free Press newspaper?" Roque did not believe that Owen was an accomplice to William Temple, but he could not escape a charge of negligence.
"I can't read all the articles before the newspaper goes out." Owen is really wronged, and the leader of the Liberal Party is also very busy, and it is the responsibility of the newspaper editor-in-chief to review the article.
I have to say that the newspapers of this era are still very powerful, look at Leopold II who is now in a hurry, it is because the Englishmen Morel and Casment published a series of articles that vividly exposed the atrocities of Leopold II in the Congo Free State, which caused the shock of the international community, and then aroused the attention of the international community to the Congo Free State.
In the face of overwhelming accusations, Leopold II denied it in every possible way, and organized a multinational investigation team to the Congo Free State to investigate the truth.
Although there are no results of the investigation yet, it is surprising that things have developed to this point.
"Then find someone who can sit in that position before the newspaper is published, who has the time, the energy, and the ability to distinguish which articles are good for us and which are bad for us." Roque is engaging in censorship, which is not in line with the liberal environment, but in this particular time period, it is really necessary to implement press censorship.
"Locke, we can't do that, don't forget that we're the Liberals." Owen is also naïve, can't the Liberal Party do anything against freedom under the banner of "freedom"?
If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so much controversy in the world.
