I am not racist, i dont think its racist to say that someone comes from a different country and therefore we should think carefuly before giving them everything we have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-89726453106412107662008-08-24T18:47:00.000+01:002008-08-24T18:47:00.000+01:00I just came across this blog and would like to say...I just came across this blog and would like to say it's nice to know there are some people out there who see Boris Johnson for the revolting rascist he really is.

There is no context that is ironic, funny or otherwise when using the imperial language of posh racists like Enoch Powell. It is the Tories who distort history. I suppose you believe that the ERM debacle was a stroke of Tory genius? Cos that seems to be how they are trying to rewrite things. People think the 3 day week was under Labour and that Dunkirk was a British triumph - there is nothing the British establishment couldn't distort - this is what 1984 was really about and why Hitler was so envious of the British Propaganda machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-80038281511757247742008-04-14T21:40:00.000+01:002008-04-14T21:40:00.000+01:00Quote from the financial times magazine Sunday 13t...Quote from the financial times magazine Sunday 13th April 2008<BR/><BR/>“References in an old Johnson newspaper column to “piccaninnies” and Africans with “watermelon smiles” have been wrenched out of context and quoted repeatedly to make the Tory candidate sound like the epitome of saloon-bar prejudice.

Coupled with Boris's hostility to anything that improves racial and social solidarity I think it is very relevant. You and Boris clearly see nothing wrong in being prejudiced against people on the basis of their skin colour or sexuality. I and I suspect the voters next May see things differently.<BR/><BR/>If you follow the black info link I provide, you will find the full quotes of everything I have attributed to Boris. The tapes of Boris are common knowledge and have been written about in all the major newspapers - google it<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you agree with me on the PPP - for that alone Boris does not deserve to be elected. He cannot be trusted with public transport - Ken has vastly improved travelling by bus in London - yes it has costs - but it has greatly improved the lives of londoners (especially the poorest) and is great value for money.<BR/><BR/>You admit Boris was wrong about the congestion charge but say mistakes like this do not matter. They matter very much - London needs innovative schemes to tackle its manifold problems - Ken shows he is up to making radical (and initially very unpopular) decisions. Boris would let London rot.<BR/><BR/>As for climate change we can all argue that as individuals, cities and even countries, our contribution is negligible. The point for me is the improvement of quality of life regardless of whether it is still possible to reverse climate change.<BR/><BR/>In your 3 points of criticism of me, you missed out that I am bald. Good to see that 'gingerist' can be added to your long list of prejudices.<BR/><BR/>Finally, yes I live in Brighton, but that doesn't mean I cannot have an opinion on this. The Mayor of London does affect me by setting the agenda on things like free bus travel and congestion charging that other cities can follow. Another example is the US president - it affects us all and while we do not have a vote - we certainly have opinions on whether Democrat or Republican is better for the world.

A poem that sums this up? So what?<BR/>4. This is a reason *not* to vote for him?<BR/>5. “All funding” or merely “all compulsory funding” through the state?<BR/>6. First, this is slightly irrelevant as he is running for local government. Second, it’s arguable that some African countries’ systems of governance aren’t all that great.<BR/>7. And?<BR/>8. I’m highly suspicious that you’re not effectively lying by way of a misquote. Can we have the full quote, please?<BR/>9. You’d prefer his honesty to your self-delusion?<BR/>10. And?<BR/>11. You are so pathetic. And?<BR/>12. You neglect to mention the fact it’s also “enjoying unprecedented financial haemorrhage” to match the growth in users. Why?<BR/>13. Wow – something which actually deserves a proper investigation. Have you found out if there was a reason he couldn’t vote? Bearing in mind his priority at the time was to the people of Henley, not London.<BR/>14. If you are feeling generous and want to donate your money to buy bus passes to some favoured group or other, feel free to set up a charity. Why is it necessary to use violence to achieve your ends?<BR/>15. I agree, PPP isn’t great. It’s the management of the tube which would most benefit from private control, not the financing.<BR/>16. Only 50% affordable housing? All homes should be affordable! But won’t developers go bust if only 50% are affordable and the rest remain unsold?<BR/>17. I don’t know anything about this, but I’d be interested to know how you answer Devil’s Kitchen’s allegations that you know this is untrue and yet continue to repeat it.<BR/>18. This is bad, but in mitigation he no longer opposes it. Surely a man can be forgiven for previous mistakes if he changes his mind? I’m glad you agree with using the price mechanism to ration a scarce resource.<BR/>19. Good.<BR/>20. With good reason. Currently it’s a nonsense and highly wasteful.<BR/>21. Silence is better than agreeing with it. What a fucking stupid idea. If 4x4s emit more carbon then they will also use more petrol, and therefore pay more fuel duty. What difference to climate change does it make if they drive into central London or not?<BR/>22. So did most Iraqis, but again, slightly irrelevant as he’s standing for local government.<BR/>23. Bush, depressingly, is a big-government nut, but Kerry would have been worse.<BR/>24. I’ve never understood what exactly the problem was with that, other than the general principle that you shouldn’t have useless legislation on the statute books.<BR/><BR/>Some reasons to discount Neil Harding’s comments on the London Mayor election:<BR/>1.

The main reason for defection from the Tories to UKIP is its anti-EU stance.<BR/><BR/>I wish you luck in your endeavors and under our present electoral system any minor party needs all the help it can get. I mean realistically (as I know you oppose PR) how far do you think UKIP can get in the next 20 years under FPTP? I predict you will not win a single seat at Westminster without PR. The most you can be is a thorn in the side of the Tories (so I wish you success in that in the sense that splitting the Tory vote helps Labour).Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-18895788622356153022007-09-20T10:40:00.000+01:002007-09-20T10:40:00.000+01:00Vicola: Racism is learned behaviour.

Nursery and primary school kids mix easily - it is only as they adopt their parents prejudices that they separate.<BR/><BR/>Of course racism exists amongst all groups but do remember that most positions of power are held by white males (which means their racism is generally more damaging). No more morally wrong of course - just more dangerous.<BR/><BR/>You are trying to justify racism for whites by using examples of racism in other ethnic groups. Both are wrong.<BR/><BR/>On the pollution question - you forget that the Range Rover will be around for a long time and a 15 year old Range Rover will put out more pollution than a 15 year old much lower emission car that could have been bought instead. So it does make perfect sense to target 4x4s in terms of emissions. Every low emission car that is bought will stay lower emission for its lifetime. Every higher emission car will equally be causing more pollution for its lifetime. The more lower emission cars that are bought the better. There is no reason to have a 4x4 in London other han vanity. It is also irresponsible to have such a car because they are more dangerous in an accident. They are much more likely to kill (especially children).Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-19144501192580173512007-09-20T08:56:00.000+01:002007-09-20T08:56:00.000+01:00TO be honest racism is natural and not just among ...TO be honest racism is natural and not just among white, middle class individuals. While working for my father I was informed by an Asian co worker (male) that asian girls were for marrying and treating with respect but white girls were for a quick screw. He also called me a 'honky bitch'. Or is that acceptable to you because he is of a minority race? Should I not mind? Also 4x4s shouldn't be taxed more heavily just because they are 4x4s. A brand new Range Rover chucks out less pollution than a 15 year old Datsun Sunny so why should it pay more pollution tax?
