Don't worry, I'm going to phone the police.
What? And tell them that someone was trolling on a newsgroup?
No. To tell them someone else is doing their job.
I think that it's a joke. How do you think police reacted to victims of racial abuse in the seventies?
Roger
Racial abuse wasn't a crime in the seventies.
You mean Muslims could call for whities to be killed with no sanctions against them ? Funny how things have changed.
Graham
Yeah now they give you a vehicle ASBO
Abuse was , there just wasn't a more serious racially aggravated offence

All down to the politically correct types who will probably never accept that it is their "good intentions" that have caused the rise in popularity in the BNP in recent times.
...what goes around comes around...next episode in "Fraught Britain" sees the populace rise up & refuse to do as the politicians keep telling them & blow up the houses of parliament & erect a statue of Guy Fawkes in its place!
`Wasn't he a foreigner, wop or dago something like that,
That's not how it seems to me. I think that it's the "politically Correct" brigade that have brought about such progress as has been made in the past three decades. The rise in the BNP seems to be down to the propaganda and lies of the Daily Mail and the craven cowardice of the government who refuse to engage them in a debate to defend the vulnerable.

Err, no. A lot of racial tension has been brought about by do-gooders insisting that minorities should be treated differently. For example, a Police Force has to recruit a specific percentage of ethnic minorities. Fuck the fact they might be sod all use as a copper, the percentages must be maintained. I've seen loads of jobs advertised in various civil service sectors which state a certain percentage of interviewees must be from ethnic minorities. And that's even before we get to laws of the land not applying to certain religious groups such as Sikhs not having to wear motorcycle helmets or hard-hats.
The Chinese, Japanese (in fact most Australasians) and Jews have integrated well into our society due to the fact that they adopt the "when in Rome" policy of living, striking a balance between the requirements of their religions and the rules and traditions of the society that they live in.
Yes, I'd be happy with that.

Born in York acc to Wikipedia. However it seems he had been fighting for the Spanish.
"Guy Fawkes or Guido Fawkes (he adopted the name "Guido"?in which he was indicted?while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries)[1][2] (13 April
1570 ? 31 January 1606) was a member of a group of Roman Catholic restorationists from England that planned the Gunpowder Plot.[3] The plot's aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant and even most of the Catholic aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirators saw this as a reaction to systematic discrimination against English Roman Catholics."
I tend to agree with Conor,do gooders having too much say in our affairs. Also, our destiny is out of our own hands because we have handed most of our powers to the EU. Britain WAS great but not any more,we are just puppets, controlled by Europeans,I have never felt like European.

What does it feel like to be European?
If you have British citizenship, you already know ;-)
Chris (Who was once a member of "Keep Britain out"!)
Indeed, but I was wondering in what way feeling European is different to feeling English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, German, French, Italian, Greek, Dutch, Portugese or any other nationality.
On the assumption that you are, say, English, then you know what it's like to feel both.
Similarly, on the assumption that you are not Italian,you can't know what it's like to feel Italian, so it's impossible for you to know how differently an Italian feels about also being European.
I think I need a lie-down now...
Chris
That sounds like a good move.
