| No Robin you are not odious because you disagree with me you are just plain odious and I suspect you are also, nasty, bitter and lonely. In all the postings you make on Chiswick/Ealing and this forum I don't think you have too many friends so perhaps you should not go canvassing again as you are clearly more of a hindrance than a help to the party you purport to support particularly if you go around telling voters where to "put their vote". Regarding racism, for all I know you are from some sort of ethnic minority and thereby have a huge chip on your shoulder and for all you know I am black, with mixed race children. Why do you make such assumptions about people you do not know? For anyone who does not know, the extent of my racism was to suggest that there were a large number of illegal Africans acting as traffic wardens and I defended another poster's right to choose not to send his child to a school where his child would (according to him) be the only white pupil. I do not change or apologise for my stance in either case. However, on the subject of racism, I have observed that actually some of the most "racist" people I have encountered have themselves been immigrants from the Asian community. First there was the owner of the papershop in Albany Parade, with whom I had an interesting conversation some years ago when he very vociferous about the amount of immigrants in the area suggesting they should be stopped coming in because there were too many and they were ruining the country. I found this quite amusing because he was most definitely not born in the UK himself. Then, only yesterday at work, I received an email from a Pakistani client who had miscalculated the stamp duty payable on a property he was purchasing - quite what this had to do with immgrants I do not know but his email was railing about immigrants coming to these shores to receive benefits. I still haven't made the connection however it seemed to make sense to him. I imagine in your peculiar world it is acceptable for ethnic people to complain about immigrants but not for indigenous people to do the same. I could be wrong, but wasn't it Ian Wright (if not him then another black footballer) who said "I can't be racist I'm black" when of course racism surely knows no colour boundaries. It must surely be a pure perception that only whites can be racist when this is simply not the case. Try working for the HO in Hounslow where whites are subjected to the equivalent of the Asian Mafia inasmuch as you are positively descriminated against on the grounds that you may be English and white. No doubt you will say that can't happen - however it can and it does! If speaking out against that sort of behaviour makes you racist then you got me in one. If you were my labour candidate I would tell you where to stick yourself! |
