The Mail went all Aidan Burley last night with an unsubtle race-baiting attack on the Olympics opening ceremony.
The paper said the Nazi party Tory MP was “right to point out on Twitter that it was a load of ‘leftie multicultural crap'”, hitting out at the “absurdly unrealistic” representation of a “mixed-race middle-class family in a detached new-build suburban home”, the “politically correct agenda in modern Britain” and the “multicultural equality agenda”.
They then amended some of those offensive lines – within 20 minutes of the initial post – but not before freelance writer John Walker had screengrabbed the initial article.
Here are the original despicable paragraphs in full – printed by a national newspaper, in Britain, in 2012:
“It was the absurdly unrealistic scene – and indeed one that would spring from the kind of nonsensical targets and equality quotas we see in the NHS – showing a mixed-race middle-class family in a detached new-build suburban home, which was most symptomatic of the politically correct agenda in modern Britain.
“This was supposed to be a representation of modern life in England but it is likely to be a challenge for the organisers to find an educated white middle-aged mother and black father living together with a happy family in such a set-up.
“Almost, if not every, shot in the next sequence included an ethnic minority performer. The BBC presenter Hazel Irvine gushed about the importance of grime music (a form of awful electronic music popular among black youths) to east London. This multicultural equality agenda was so staged it was painful to watch.
“And Conservative MP Aidan Burley was right to point out on Twitter that it was a load of ‘leftie multicultural c**p’. Yet predictably he has been castigated by Twitter’s Guadanista [sic] brigade.
“Unfortunately the kind of politically driven multiculturalism we saw last night is the kind of social engineering we have come to expect.”
Just. In. Credible. Just when you might think the Mail couldn’t possibly get any worse.

Let’s get to the point, what about your prejudice? I’ll remind you England is the construct of three Germanic tribes, the Jutes, Angles & Saxons. The Norman invaders were equally Germanic, i.e. Norse Men.
If these third world migration policies continue, the Germanics will become a minority and England will cease to be English.
That equates to a crime against a nation and its people. Race replacement is actually illegal, so we have every right to defend our ancestral land.

It was much more than twenty minutes between the posting of the first article and then the redaction. I read the first article around lunchtime – someone had posted a link to it on my fbook early afternoon; I seethed about it all day, and then realised that I could write to the PCC about it. I went back and looked at the link and it was unreachable, at around 11.00 pm. Shortly after that, it reappeared in redacted form. So, up for around six hours at least and, I suspect, much longer.

Thanks Shelisheng, just what I needed!

“the construct of three Germanic tribes, the Jutes, Angles & Saxons.”
Not to mention the various non-germanic tribes before them, and the plethora of migrations that didn’t meet with your favour by way of clear and concise periods of displacement and invasion. I’m English with Irish and Italian/Sicilian origins, not sure where I fit in your odd obsession with England’s glorious Germanic origins. :-
“If these third world migration policies continue, the Germanics will become a minority and England will cease to be English.”
What 3rd world migration policies? There IS no concerted policy of 3rd world migration.
“If these third world migration policies continue, the Germanics will become a minority and England will cease to be English.”
I sense this bothers you greatly, which pleases me greatly. Keep wringing your copy of the Daily Mail and wrestling with such pet issues as long-long-LONG term demography.
“Race replacement is actually illegal, so we have every right to defend our ancestral land.”
I hope you feel the same way about the Israel/Palestine issue (actually I don’t; I sense that someone of your character would take support for either side to extremes). As for race replacement in England, I’ve seen no evidence of this. Okay, so local ‘ghettoisation’ (precisely the opposite of multiculturalism; though altogether understandable with those your particular ideological bent mulling around like a canker) may give some idiots that impression, but the statistics as a whole paint a very different picture. If you’re waiting for white middle-Englanders to become a minority, you’ll be waiting a long, LONG time.
“multi cult Marxist inner cities”
This phrase alone paints you as yet another of the many intellectual minoes who’ve latched on to a meaningless, conspiratorial right-wing meme (and perhaps fuelled by pre-existing prejudices) and ran with it.
Do you even know who Marx was? Have you ever read any work of Marx or self-professed Marxists who’ve espoused any of the things you so fear? I doubt it, because such works don’t exist. Marx(ists) were primarily concerned with economics and class relations – race(ist) relations were the stomping ground of the ideological right and the socially conservative (which includes many so-called leftists, but, I’m afraid not Marxists proper).

England is not especially “small” of course, and it’s your Tories who want to build on Greenfield land.
In reality, a program of 100k Council Houses per year for 5 years could easily use brownfield land, especially combined with some compulsory purchase orders and a hefty tax on unused private brownfield land.
Your answer of forcing – again overwhelmingly White British – people out onto the street isn’t an answer.
If you started your wars and got England isolated you’d put even more White British people, impoverished by your policies, there as well. Smart!
