The weakest of all though, are those that continually bang on about Racism! Interesting broad brush that taken to its logical conclusion would prefer the issue silenced, of course. Particularly the silence of those tasked with change or directly effected by the issue. I’d suggest that’s not a good idea for change to occur as a rule. Shouldn’t be any racism in 2020 and needs to be called out where ever it happens. Wouldn’t equate doing that with being weak. Shouldn’t fall into the trap of equating racism with other abuse either. |

Another good interview at Lunch in the cricket with Makhaya Ntini today. Do you think flagging up all these interviews is going to solve the racist problem? I will tell you what it will do...nothing! Do you know why there is racism on this planet? I can give you the answer to that also. It’s because 99% of the people on this planet are as ignorant as Pig Shit! If you think you are in the 1% then think again...don’t worry, I’m not in it either. |

I completely agree with those remarks although I do think that far too much focus is being given to BLM, a far left Marxist political organisation intent on bringing down democratic rights (as well as statues of course  ). It can have the result that the real and important message gets lost. There is a tendency in this modern age to make accusations of racism, homophobia, sexism etc knowing that people find it difficult to defend themselves as the riposte is always, "Anybody who says they are not racist almost certainly is". It is of course bollocks and again deflects from the real message that we are all people and should treat all other people in the same manner. That is the principle of law really.....to deal with those who choose to step outside of the norms agreed by society.....sadly these days it is failing in most areas. Just to illustrate the silliness of it all......during a worldwide pandemic that no government in the world expected or was properly prepared for, the UK Prime Minister has today been accused of sexism because he allowed hairdressers to open before beauty parlours. Really you just could not make it up. The globe would spin a whole lot easier if we all showed understanding, tolerance, and kindness. (Except to pedal cyclists!) |

rjdgull Don't we all know it . My concern is that having such a clear hierarchy of victimhood is alienating considerable sections of the general public and doing nothing to heal or improve prospects for social cohesion.  Stefano Indeed, and consequently, as proclaiming your innocence of the charge no longer became a possibility, people learned that with the option of defending themselves no longer existing, then if innocent all they could do was stay silent. Hence the necessity for the 'Silence is guilt !' claim to be invented. Sometimes just as ludicrously presented as 'Silence is violence'. In the new Woke world, if you're accused of racism, it ensures you're automatically guilty by removing all other options .... other than pleading guilty. And yet people turn on their TV and see foreign people desperate to get to Britain to live. Desperate to get out of France to the extent they try to jump onto speeding lorries. To get here on rickety craft across treacherous seas, and to pay large sums to people smugglers. Foreign criminals kicking and screaming when we try to put them on to a plane to deport them from the UK. Desperate to get here and even more desperate to stay once they arrive. But while here make it out to be a racist hell hole. Zuby really shouldn't be letting the cat out of the bag.  |

I was expecting this to be no more than tabloid hysteria, and that Ms Begum had nothing more in mind than a flying visit to pay her respects at the partially TUST funded Jack Leslie statue once it’s erected. Not that she’d want to fight her way through the crowds of kneeling Devon based Militants to get a close up look at it. Less ‘Jihadi attack’, and more ‘Justice for Jack’, seemed like a change for the better, but it does very much look as if she’ll be back to stay. So let’s consider the positives and hope that our SJW Judges know what they’re doing. Firstly I think we can assume that Ms Begum will find Khan’s London more to her liking than the English capital city she left back in 2015. This should help her settle in more comfortably. There’s still work to be done on her image though, but nothing a cosy chat with Holly and Phil on the GMB sofa can’t start to put right. Follow that up by fast tracking her to be a contestant in the next ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and Shamima will be well on the way to being the country’s reformed Jihadi sweetheart. We can try swimming against the tide all we want, but it will achieve nothing. You don’t have to look very far into the future to see that Starmer’s Labour Party could well be the most Right Wing option most people will have on their Ballot Papers at the next election. A Liberal Party led by either Sir Ed or boyfriend beater Moran will be the most extreme loopy Leftist preference. Boris’s Bolshevics continue to come up with policies of such undiluted Socialist origin, that Sir Keir’s eyes must water at the very thought of trying to come up with something remotely as radical, and all the harder as his inclination has been to purge Labour's Corbynistas. ‘Shammy’, as I expect we’ll all get to know and love her, could well have her own Guardian column by this time next year, as well as having been made Honorary President of the Leyton Orient Trust. Let’s not doubt these fine legal minds, whose every decision is, I’m sure, made with the best interests of Britain at heart |

Reg Fear not Reg. The people in charge have found a way to make Islamic Jihadi terrorism a thing of the past. It may not be too long before you never hear of it, or read about it again . And much easier than taking the difficult steps to eradicate it, just re-brand it so that it's doesn't get differentiated from the Quakers or the Methodists.  |

I despair with what happens in this country. Instead of stoping the buggers pouring in they just rename them in the hope that people will say “Hey, hasn’t this country done well, we don’t hear of them Jihadi people anymore!“
I was hoping that Kanye West would be the next President of the US of A, and about a week after he gets into power the planet would be blown to shit so we could start again!
He’s quite obviously short of a few marbles though, so has no chance of being President now...wait a minute!
