Racism !!!!!!

[Tiger1]

Hi Terry,
Thank you for opening this Thread it is a long time since I enjoyed such a good read.

Yes Racism is a terrible thing that seems to be every where one looks.
Words that once were used with no one jumping on them are now classed as racist.

A Friend of mine who worked in Ken Livingstone's Council Offices was reprimanded for ordering a black coffee it was to be called 'Coffee with No Milk' I ask you how stupid can it get, but it has as years have gone on up till today.
So Terry I say 'thank you' again for this thread just wish it had been opened earlier.

Jacyn, I agree with what you have said 'about us doing unto others as we would like to be done by', it has been my Motto in life also the words from an old song
'If I can help sombody as I pass along then My living will not be in Vain'
I think the world would be a better place if people took notice of these words.
Hopefully something will change it all one day and racism will be a thng of the past as after all we all bleed 'red blood'. unless I am being fooled???
I agree with those that say this Post has gone its term but really enjoyed it all.
Thank you for a good read Terry
Happy New Year to You and Your Family.
Fondest Love
Tiger Jean xx

Hi Aba-Jan.
I dont think you can compare the situation in British Columbia with other places on the planet.
Ask an Englishman in Bradford in Yorkshire, if you could find one, or in many other towns like that including my own, where the indiginous peoples of England feel they are threatened by the Extrenely High Immigrant Population. where ***** has taken over.
The price of my house has fallen by 75% in just five years. I cannot move from what used to be a lovely tree lined avenue of really nice friendly people. People who took pride in their community, Their gardens and hedges immaculatly kept. The local Church had garden fetes, annual Sermons parades. Boy Scouts and Girl Guides in there. It is now closed. Two Mosques have been built near by, and a Madrassa in the farmhouse at the end of my once lovely avenue. I cannot park my car near my house sometimes because of the volume of extremely large 4 X4 vehicles bringing their kids to the Madrassa every day.
The Avenue and the gardens of the immigrants are filled with rubbish now as they do not garden as we English used to do. Where the Late old Captain Grey lived two doors away there was a Police raid at 0530 one morning. the avenue full of Police vehicles, they found drugs and stolen property in there, the Immigrant youth was given two and a half years, but will be out in one. and start again. We have had two vehicles of the Immigrants Firebombed in the night by Drug Gang warfare, windows smashed regularly. My once lovely Avenue looked like Belfast during the Troubles in the 70s.
I am trapped.
Please dont tell me I am Rascist.
I am not.
I just dont like the bastards.

I love these ex pats who think they know everything about the UK, its history and all. They don't live here any more so what gives them the right to pontificate about what goes on here and what we should be putting up with.

Don't tell us what to do in our own country Mr Abadan Jan and don't call us racist either, speaking as you do from Canada, what do you know about what life is like here at present and what we have to put up with, remember, you don't live here any more.

Chris.

So if my guess is right Brian you are stuck fast with the other option to be to sell up to them and buy a tent . That happened to my father in law many years ago in Southampton , he was even offered half the then depressed market price as a favour by his Indian neighbour , He took a huge dive on it sold to the council for 2/3 of market value and got a pensioners flat , so I for one know where you stand , between a very hard rock and a really hard place .

I live in the Portsnmouth region , here there were a lot of displaced Londoners who moved South to leave the ethnic invasion , and were / are racially intolerant because thney endured the situation you describe .

I have a perverse mind and think it is a pity that you could not sell up to a family of Irish Travellers , I am thinking poetic justice .

All right, Abadan, I'll bite, as I was a little curious, also being a Canadian. How long have you been here? How did you come here, why did you come here and is it your permanent residence? If not, why not? If you do plan to make it your permanent residence, I suggest you learn a little more about the Canadian aboriginals before you make comments about them.

And by the way, there's no room on this site for racism or bigotry.

Abadan Jan,

Roger "there are none so blind as those that will not see"What you don't seem to grasp is the fact that in the days of the "British Empire" all peoples were native British sons as long as they were born under the union jack, be it Bombay, Sydney or Jamaica. And as I tried to point out in my last post, you can not claim "special"treatment from a goverment that was the goverment of ALL in the Empire, and if you do?did you are being racist! And to Ivan if you have nothing constructive to say,why not just sit back, and listen to the Rick-a-tick-tick

Seems to me I've seen nothing constructive in this thread yet, a lot of bitching which is going nowhere but nothing constructive

I've no idea what Rick-atick-tick-tick means, is it shorthand for a load of b*ll*cks

[Red Lead Ted]

Hey hey hey I din't call you guys racist(well maybe I implied it to one guy due to his misconceptions)as there is no one more racist than I(see my post re my mother country the Scots) and may I also enlighten you to the fact I travel back to dear old blighty on a egular basis, so I am not entirely in the dark as to the goings on back there,plus the fact I have rellies in Inverness, Glasgow, Perth,Leeds, York, manchester, London and Brighton so can paint a very good picture as to the strive involved!That is why I have the deepest sypathy for Cap't Kong having been involved in a similar situation over there. Before you slag a guy make ssure you know something about him I notice you never inquired as to how long I have been in Canada, how I got here and whether it is my permanent residence.Have a nice day regards AJ

I started this thread as a serious problem that needs debating seriously up to now you have slagged of Liverpool, You have admited being Racist to at least one member. What the hell are you posting for it seems to me like you would be the type of guy who know girl would want her mother to meet. Most of your posts are contradicting themselves you have contacts all over the uk and i think you are saying you are Scottish My brother is married to a scotch girl i go up there quite often but never met anyone like you if you would stop your bloody moaning about your life and posted something positive regarding the subject of racism and stop harking on about the British Empire you might get a bit of positive feedback. Ihave sixteen half cast cousins who all agree with the confusion surrounding this word Racism. Page 2 in todays Daily Mirror Tabloid and i quote,,,British workers are amongst the most {BULLIED} In the world with 70% claiming they have been harassed at work. Some 36% admitted they had broken down in tears from cruel taunts and abuse from bosses-But 10% said they had been physically attacked. Recruitment website MONSTER Carried out the research. European workplaces are the most dangerous with Spanish bosses being the most violent BULLYING Is something that should certainly be on the EUROPEAN employers radar. NOT A BLOODY MENTION OF RACISM WHEN IT COMES TO THE BRITS WORKING ABROAD. So put the British Empire were it is dead and gone and lets have some positive input and if you ever get deported i would advise you with your attitude dont choose my city LIVERPOOL You wont last 5 minutes. Ivan Rick atick-tick-tick i have been around the block m8 but by my own admission never sailed the sea of tranquility unlike Abadan Terry.

Why don't we close this thread, its run its course there seems nothing to add that hasn't already been said on both sides of the fence. Just my humble opinion, but there are more productive threads to follow or create.

Come the revolution: Know one to be blindfolded and first against the wall.

The revolution is purely fiction ? Even when times get tough we both know where our bread is buttered and who our friends are: Sweden - Joke !
