Permanently Bewildered27 Jun 2008 09:36 am

Thanks to Steve and Ben for these from “Are plans to tackle inequality a step in the right direction?“.

I am sick of this government - absolutely sick of it! They are killing off what little democracy there is left in this country. Why do they insist on consistantly feeding the minorities with these sugary sweets while turning their back on the majority. Surely a company should have a democratic choice to employ someone, which to be perfectly honest 9.9999% of the time is going to be the best person for the job - whether it is experience or qualifications they are looking for!!
Matt Gannon, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

I’m convinced. I’ll make sure I employ one “indigenous white” (or whatever the fuck you petulant, self-absorbed cretins call yourselves) for every nine “ethnics”.

SUGARY SWEETS FOR THE ENGLISH!

I was declined for a role because I am the wrong gender/ethnic group - DEFRA. I have been declined for several roles for having to much experience or being over-qualified (ageism) - various. I have been declined for roles because “not quite what we are looking for”. I am a white male in my 40s, unemployed. I weep at night because I do not seem to have a place in society anymore, because I am unacceptable. I am just an example of the outcome of the equalities backlash. Fairness is all I ask.

If you black-up and stick a bone through your nose, I expect they’ll make you head of IT.

Thanks to Wayne and Carmen who both found this one from some blog over at The Fucking Guardian. It’s about Heinz pulling some advert that threatened the very fabric of our society.

I’m disgusted by the cowardly behaviour of Heinz in pulling the ad. Didn’t Heinz manufacture mayo for the armies of the 3rd Reich? I think I remember reading that somewhere, & the name would support it, so its not like they don’t have previous.
Denya

The best response to this is already there, a couple of comments further down:

I believe Hitler himself was mad for the mayo and regularly used it to whip up his favourite dish - the Eva Prawn Cocktail.

Armchair Generals and Racists and Self-appointed Sages and Werthers Original Imperialists26 Jun 2008 11:32 am

Nothing like a thread on Mugabe to bring the amateur Mark Thatchers out of the woodwork.

As I said months ago, Mugabe will do whatever it takes, to stay in power.

If only we’d listened! Quickly, you need to alert someone important of these razor sharp insights. How about posting them on a website full of confused, prattling dullards squawking their fear of everything that doesn’t come sealed in foil, with a picture of their mum printed on it?

I think enough has been seen and heard to assume that most people want a regime change. The next election will obviously tell us nothing newand we have heard from the top of the Zanu PF party that they will not give up power no matter what the voters want.

So - what are the African and European states going to do?

I for one would chip in for a mercenary force to topple this government - it would not be very hard.
Jimbo, London

I love the idea of this guy going round Oxford Street shaking a tin: “Few coppers for a good cause mate? Yeah, we’re gonna raise an army and overthrow an African government. Nah, Zimbabwe actually. Thanks mate.” He probably thinks you can buy a mercenary force from Clinton’s cards.

Delusions of Grandeur25 Jun 2008 02:29 pm

I sometimes wonder what sort of answer the moderators are expecting when they ask questions like “What does the EU mean to you?”.

If 90% of us HYS Brits think it’s corrupt - & assuming 70% of our fellow Europeans agree with us, why can’t we declare it illegal? Like a parasite - which first sucks your life blood - then totally consumes you. To whom do you apply in order to shut it down? Let me try right here & now:
“I declare the European Union an Illegal Organisation and Hereby Order it’s Disbandment”.
Just vote by clicking on “Recommend” below if you agree.
Thus the EU should be finished by Lunchtime on 20 June 2008.

Racists25 Jun 2008 11:27 am

Thanks to Alan who sent me these ages ago. They’re from a forum thread discussing “Woman’s Hour”. Let’s laugh at the racist.

I find in homes and garden an item on a ’sherpa’ gardner, in fashion and beauty an item on the paisley shawl design (what a great opportunity for the BBC to promote the view that evrything British was introduced by immigrants *laugh*), ‘work’ has a feature on ethnic minority women. Food, surprisingly one has to go back a year and a half to find ‘Diwali sweets’ although they managed to introduce a more recent Islamic food item with ‘Fruits of the Maji’ in the run up to Christmas! Dont worry I am sure another one will be coming up very soon! There are several ‘Islamic’ items in the history and art sections under ‘Treasures of the British Museum’ - again the BBC focuses on what Britain has ‘borrowed’ (everything is thanks to immigrants and foreigners blah blah blah)

Others failed to find the same bias in the show but she has an answer to everything.

I havent had time to spend going through the entire archives as she has done, since I am not paid to do so, but as I pointed out she is taking a very ‘narrow’ view of what constitutes ‘Asian items’ looking only at thos ewhich are overtly Asian, while I include the more subtle ways the BBC tries to get its message across, such as the earlier discussed paisley shawl issue
flamingreen

This is one of my favourites, from the 5Live forum.

<<My father could have TB.>>

And how has he caught it?

Just in the last few weeks I have been alert to immigrants who are coughing a lot, and have noticed there seem to be a disproprotionate number who do! yikes [...]

Yikes! Let’s hope they don’t roll you up in a carpet and whisk you off to Arabia to be one of the Sultan’s wives!!

Miscellaneous Prats and Outsiders25 Jun 2008 09:03 am

Thanks to Thomas for this one from an Evening Standard article about police violence at an anti-Bush protest in London.

The Police are wonderful, fair-minded and decent.
Unsubstantiated retarded comments from anti-establishment proletariat pseudo-Marxists and Anarchists will not sway the minds of decent law-abiding people in this country.
The frustration of the ‘demonstrators’ is only greater because the Police did such an effective job at keeping the low-life at bay. Bring on Police power. Subdue the Anarchists!
Tangomike, Kensington, London

Awww. If I’d known there was an Anti-Establishment Proletariat Pseudo-Marxists and Anarchists rally I’d have gone down. As it was I ended up at a Crypto-Communist Envirofacist Morris Dancing Festival. Heavy police presence as usual. BURN DOWN BABYLON.

Animal Fannies and Racists24 Jun 2008 12:09 pm

Thanks to Chloe.

Who cares if clothes are ethically made or not? Who cares if children in India are getting paid pennies for making items sold in the UK? These people know no better and to them it is normality, just as somebody living in London and working in the City 5 days a week for a poultry £30,000 a year would consider such a routine normality or the “real world”.
Who’s to say that such practices are “exploitative”? The BBC denotes this in their report. Its the free market at work and long may it last.

Plain Weird24 Jun 2008 11:50 am

Thanks to James. Concerning the recent Irish referendum.

This is verging on the obscene: If Ireland was a woman this would be attempted rape.

No means No.
ScepticMax

What would it be if Ireland was a reluctant male Orangutan? Attempted, bestial, bum burglary? What about if Ireland was a bun who said “no”? Would it be an attempted bun-icing? What about if Ireland was a woman who said “go on then”, but you popped some rohypnol in her drink anyway and then poked gingerly at her norks with a chopstick after she passed out? Just imagine it for a moment.

Moderation Martyrs and Racists24 Jun 2008 10:32 am

Can anyone explain what this strange man’s opinion on the use of “rape” as a “weapon” of “war” actually “is”, or why he didn’t put “wives” in “inverted commas” too?

Whislt we all abhorr rape it’s completely ridiculous to classify rape as a tactic in “war”. The only groups that have demonstrated use of women as a tactic in “war” have been terrorists, supported by their wives.

Answers on a “postcard” to:
spEak You’re bRanes
P.O. Box 1523
Londonistan W12 6LA
Cloud Cuckoo Land

This comment has nothing to do with this news item. I object to the vast number of my “have yoursay” comments that are still “awaiting moderation”.
[iceagecometh]

They’re trying to achieve “balance”. They can only publish yours when they get one from Gandhi, Jesus or Obi-wan Kenobi to balance it out.

The solution is simple, extend our immigration laws to include and ensure deportation of every illegal immigrant and the immediate family of any non-indigenous parent who has produced the home-grown terrorrists. The costs of treatment will always grossly exceed the costs of treatment.
[iceagecometh]

And don’t forget, if you really want to get the best out of your terrorists, pinch them out to encourage bushing. Once they begin to flower, start feeding them with a formulated terrorist-feed. If you water them frequently and keep them free from slugs, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t continue to enjoy homegrown terrorists until September.
