Doubt that point of view will ever see main stream media.

I have to admit that I found all the eulogising at the memorial service about what an all round lovely bloke and great father George Floyd was, a bit nauseating.   :-\

What happened to him was appalling, but if he was indeed that all round lovely bloke, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of Minneapolis's 'finest'.  He would be alive today, and that scared and confused little girl that her disgusting mother paraded for the worlds media would still have her Daddy.  ::)

Although it's probably debatable whether she knew him anyway.....  :-X

Jeremy Vine is such a simpering Mangina. Balanced he is not.

Apparently we should take down the statue(s) of Churchill, Cromwell, and Nelsons column amongst others.

Ah well, BLM seems to know best so we'd better get on with it. :)

Sadiq Khan is a fraction of the Mayor that Boris was >:(

Ok, there are some people, centuries ago, that weren't simply successful, they literally built empires and made the quality of life that we ALL enjoy today. It is irrefutable that they did some pretty horrific things in the process, but to wipe them from history makes no sense.

We should actively acknowledge the contributions that these entrepreneurs and business leaders made, both positive and negative. Without remembering the past there is nothing to measure the future against, which is a very dangerous path to take.

Yep you cannot judge history by today's standards.  Edward Colston for example was a man of his time when frankly most people probably saw nothing wrong with slavery (Unless you were enslaved of course!) and if he were alive today would still be a successful businessman and would just be buying and selling something else.  ::)

But where does this all lead?  In years to come maybe we should tear down statues of people who made fortunes from coal or oil?   If the mob and their appeasing supporters think it's OK to tear down and desecrate public monuments that remind us of the past, when do the book burning's start?   ::)

I'm increasingly coming round to the idea of buying a house on it's own somewhere remote and getting a couple of big dogs and a shotgun!  :-X

The more I think about this, the more indignant I become. All the rich toffs in the Tory party probably owe their fortunes to money passed down over the years, and lots of it from 'merchants' no doubt. Are they going to give it back?
And as for Labour sniping away, asking the government what it's going to do about racism. Is the anti Semitic enquiry still going on? The biggest fickin bunch of racists since the KKK.
Do these people think, by showing 'solidarity', they are going to make the tiniest bit of difference? Racists are racist, you cannot change that. The law already covers racism in the workplace, in sport, on a sunny afternoon on Hampstead Heath....everywhere. What more can be done? Educate people? Eff off.

They are hypocrites of the finest order, every fickin one of them, including the black members of parliament. Standing shoulder to shoulder with people that they know are racist, just to show a united front. FFS, Yorkshire Tea came out with a statement denouncing racism today. It's stomach churning.

A suggestion that keeps being implied at the Daily Corona Virus Briefing is that systemic racism is the reason why minority ethnic groups are more susceptible to catching Batflu and dying from it... Waiting for the scientific response to point out anatomically they're different...

In the same way that people of African origin are more susceptible to sickle cell disease; or why Chinese people can't hold their drink (no yellow jokes, but their livers evolved differently and can't process alcohol as readily); or why ginger Scots and Irish burn instantly if they say 'summer, summer, summer'.

It's not racist, it's evolution. Deal with it.

Had another one through this morning which has been filed accordingly. ;D If they want to waste money on threatening letters, who am I to stop them. It might partly be due, to where every so often they ask me to confirm in writing or online that I don't watch TV, which is also filed accordingly. ;D

What's going on at the moment is nothing but gratuitous violence & destruction.

As for attacking statues, they were 'people of their day' (not ours).

Churchill is a classic example, consider the alternatives he was up against, Hitler for one, head a little further east and Starlin also.

Our fundamental constitution predates the US one by nearly 600 years... The issue with the US one is that slavery was in full swing in the late 1700s. Interestingly, we're only four decades ahead as far as democrstic participation is concerned.

The one good thing that will help the US overcome this is that its whole foundation is built on immigration and opportunity for anyone prepared to try.

It's not that opportunity isn't part of our foundation, but it isn't such a primary principle.

Or that same Jew walking through the Polish countryside and discovering a Auschwitz, they've only gone and preserved it! Sat there for all to see! SO offensive! Raze it to the ground, I say!

Do you know they celebrate this bloke called Guy Gibson back in Lincs? He slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilian steelworkers near a dam in the 1940s, so I recall.

Many of the activists are young kids who see this as 'the next big thing'.

Some are probably the same people who didn't bother to vote in 2016 but decided to protest  ( and cry a lot) when the country voted to leave.

A cousin did the family tree and got back to about the early 1600's and mostly it seems they were agricultural labourers.  I'm sure if the records existed and we went back another 500 years they would have been serfs who were pretty much slaves, another 1000 years back to Roman times they might have been actual slaves as we understand the term today.  :-\

Alternatively they might have been wealthy slave owning Roman nobility and it all went to shit from there!  ;D

 A thought provoking passage written by an Englishman about the current situation in HIS homeland - this is thought provoking and is equally relevant in any other (once) white country.
 
I have been wondering about why whites are racists, and no other race is?

There are British Africans, British Chinese, British Asian, British Turks, etc, etc, etc.

And then there are just British. You know what I mean, plain ole English people that were born here. You can include the Welsh, the Scottish and the people who live off our shores of Great Britain.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you. So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the Muslim Council of Great Britain.

You have Black History Month.

You have swimming pools for Asian women.

You have Islamic banks for Muslims only.

You have year of the dragon day for Chinese people.

If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black Britain or Miss Asia, but any colour can be in the Miss UK.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.

There are over 200 openly proclaimed Muslim only schools in England. Yet if there were 'White schools only', that would be  racist!

In the Bradford riots and Toxteth riots, you believed that you were standing-up for your race and rights. If we stood-up for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

We fly our flag, we are racists. If we celebrate St George's day we are racists.

You can fly your flag and it’s called diversity. You celebrate your cultures and it’s called multiculturalism.

You rob us, carjack us, and rape our daughters. But, when a white police officer arrests a black gang member or beats up an Asian drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud.... but you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

There is nothing improper about this e-mail. Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on.

I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!

BEING PROUD TO BE WHITE! It's not a crime, YET... but its getting very close!

It has been estimated that ONLY 5% of those reaching this point in this message will pass it on!
Keep safe Gary.

Not sure what happened to it, but i thought i had posted a reply to this.

Basically it's intent is clearly anti Islamic, whilst not directly racist, it is at best, ignorant, but probably deliberately so, and completely destroys any credibility. Probably written by a paid up Momentum member to sound like a grumpy 'Englishman'.

A better argument would be to stop measuring people by their differences as this only reinforces the minority mindset.

Ok, there are medical reasons for doing so as different ethnicities are prone to different diseases/illness, but fundamentally as people, we are all the same and should genuinely be recognised as such.

Which is how decent people try to live the world over.

Where's the minority in that?

Who on hear remembers the Enoch Powell speech ?

I was about 8 or 9 at the time. I remember people talking about it but didn't understand the significance.

If memory serves Ted sacked Enoch.
.   

It was referred to as the " Rivers of blood" speech if my memory serves me correctly , he wasn't far off the truth with what's happening now .

Yes, remember it well in the great year of 1968 :y :y

Churchills statue is being boxed in to save it from further damage, which to me is an admission that the Police have lost control of Londons streets.


I find it unbelievable that the Black Lives Matter mob are targeting this statue in particular.  Do they not know that this great man stood firm and led our country in the fight against the worst racist in history who believed white Germans, Arians, were the true leaders of all men and all others could be eradicated.

Let the mobs, who are fast losing general public sympathy and tempting the rise of the ever growing far right wing, realise that ALL LIVES MATTER, and people in our shared British history, although flawed like Churchill, fought for the long term justice of all nations.

Perhaps those who lead the protests should go out to the corrupt African states who treat their citizens with contempt, misery and even death, and protest that Black Lives Matter there!!

No one has the right to air brush out history, as that history makes us who we are now, with all our mistakes over centuries, and how we know what improvements we must make to the lives of all throughout the country.

If we forget, heaven forbid, at some distant point in the future what has happened in the past, which should always be with us, then we will not recognise a pattern of events building that could well result in major dangers to our whole civilisation.

Only the ignorant and stupid will take that route  I was taught at school in my day about the evils of slavery, so why do some now doubt that children of today, with the internet, do not know all that as well?

Getting fed up with the nonsense now, which is putting the very lives of the BAME communities, that they are shouting out about mattering,  at great risk of the virus.  Our police forces, though not perfect, do operate on a policy of Policing by Consent, and are no where near as bad as those in the US which, rightly, have been highlighted in the awful way they have. >:( >:(

I will do my best to remain objective, but it will be a struggle in the face of misguided anarchy.

I wouldn't consider myself to be a racist (or otherwise particularly intolerant), but equally I am not ashamed of being white and British/English, and it's right that other people are equally proud of their heritage.

What’s not right is the way that certain elements think that they are entitled to riot and loot on the back of a reasonable, albeit somewhat tenuous, cause. Doing so is a complete affront to any legitimate democracy.

Do you know they celebrate this bloke called Guy Gibson back in Lincs? He slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilian steelworkers near a dam in the 1940s, so I recall.

The Bank Of England issues an apology for former directors who had links to the slave trade.

Oriel College votes to take down it's statue of Cecil Rhodes.

Dominic Raab triggers a lefty meltdown when he gets mixed up over the origins of 'taking a knee' and says it's a symbol of subjugation and subordination.

Pub chain Greene King plans to offer financial reparations as one of it's founders Benjamin Greene owned sugar cane plantations in the West Indies.

Having said that, I've been having a read of the NYT. Things have really got out of all perspective there. The country is being choked by it all, with race, police brutality and ultra conservatism impacting on every aspect of daily life. Coronavirus has become a mere distraction. Statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson have been torn down recently and both sides, including Trump, have been guilty of releasing doctored videos.

This kind of stuff:

The second video that Mr. Trump tweeted Thursday night accuses liberals and the news media of assuming that Trump supporters are racists. It shows a woman posting a video of a white man wearing a Make America Great Hat yelling “go, go” at the black driver of a car.

“My racist neighbor just chased my BLACK Uber driver out of our neighborhood,” the woman writes on a social media site, with the hashtags: MAGA, Racist and Love Trumps Hate.

In the video, her posting goes viral, with more than 1.6 million views and reactions from people blaming Mr. Trump and calling him “a Nazi.”

The video also appears to use a fake CNN chyron saying “WHITE MAN IN MAGA HAT ATTACKS BLACK UBER DRIVER.”
The staged video then reveals that the white man had been helping the driver out of a patch of ice by pushing the car, and was yelling “go, go” so it wouldn’t get stuck again.

The part that really horrified me was where she waxed lyrical about great things now happening in the U.S. such as movemnets to disband the Police, and to halt funding to the Police. She immediately said "this is what we need", before carying on with a long session of Marxist verbal dysentry.
The "Journalist", just smiled when she had finished and said "thank you for speaking to us".

As Im sure you all know, I have a lot of time for Hamilton. I think he puts himself on thin ice at times by getting involved in certain things, but he does it with the best of intentions, and his heart is in the right place.
The easy option for him would be to ignore current affairs and spend all his spare time counting his money. That wouldnt harm his career at all.
He needs to be very careful though, or given better advice.
Sitting talking about BLM while wearing a Mercedes baseball cap leaves him wide open to be eaten alive by critics.

Almost every long established company in the world had some connection with slavery, I'll wager. How could they possibly avoid it? It was the way of the world in those days. Rather than demands for compensation and reparations, I think a period of reflection, followed by forgiveness and a new start would be the only way forward. Looking to the past is like us blaming present day Germany for the war(s).
Ok, teach about slavery at school, as we do about wars of the past, but we must move on, the world is in a parlous state and, the way things are going, the people of colour who were born, and live and work in our country, will have to decide if they want to be part of what's coming as defenders of our way of life as it is today, or as protesters over the past.

Yes, let’s move on and strive to just live and work together properly, all this blm protesting is just making things worse. I guess a lot of people who were sympathetic with them are changing their minds now so it’s going to backfire on them.

That is not really relevant to the current goings on. He refers to Mugabe who, as we know, is no longer with us. But he proves a point: There are antagonists on both sides.

Regional heritage is something to be proud of, and by dropping the reference to it shows that they neither understand it or appreciate what it means.

Much has also been made of the noose "found" in the pit garage of Bubba Wallace-the only full time black driver in the top tier of NASCAR-at Talladega raceway last Sunday.After investigation it turns out the noose has been there since October 2019 and had no particular connection to Wallace at all.The owner of the raceway has then caused controversy by advertising "Bubba Rope" for sale :-X

Morons. Where the hell did country music come from ffs, if it didnt come from the southern states. Lots of other kinds of music also came from there, but country music is almost exclusively the preserve of white southerners, whereas the blues, jazz, soul and gospel all came from black southern people and then spread out into the general population and the whole world.
I suppose they could stop performing country music, but the would finish their careers and their earning power with it.  ::)

Now the activists are after the American anthem saying it's wrapped in racist history so should be got rid of.One activist says it should be replaced by John Lennons Imagine while another one just says it's not a very good song to start with and should be revamped.

I personally find the National Anthem (God Save the Queen) to be utterly hiddeous.

"I Vow to Thee, My Country" is a much better option (IMHO of course).

The 'Old Man is Welsh, and insists it is translated to "Old Land of My Fathers".  He is from Carmarthen and speaks fluent Welsh.  It's both annoying and embarrasing when we are in a pub watching the RWC.  ;D
