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.

“Did you prefer the opening ceremony of the Berlin Olympics?”

IT IS depressing to listen to such fuckwittery, and i don’t know if any of you read or take part in The Telegraph’s Comment’s facility, but it’s more of the same on there too.
I have tried OVER and OVER again to engage such types in a reasonable objective debate on racism, immigration etc etc but i’m afraid the vast majority of such people are simply NOT interested in anything rational. There couldn’t BE a MORE clearer example of rampant bigotry than the idiot Burley and hid rant on Twitter. Oh sure, often such dickheads try to justify their words by resorting to quasi-inttellectual arguments about this and that, but trust me…such rants never add-up or make sense…these people are RAGING RACISTS and they are vermin.
I think that everyone really knows who the British Tories represent. And i don’t think it’s much of a secret anymore that they are nearly ALL silently as racist as the pathetic Burley. It’s just they have LEARNT not to mention it out loud…they know it will lose them votes cos remember POPULARITY is EVERYTHING to them..it’s much more important to them than anything as apparently ‘disposible’ as integrity, honour or fairness.
But i think that the bulk of British opinion has their ‘number’ now. Oh sure, the leafy suburbs and (white) countryside still scream-out their hate…but the REAL power centres and vibrant urban HUB of this country now IS everything Danny Boyle championed on Friday night and we all know that OUR future is superbly multi-cultural, fantastically diverse and wonderfully strong as the whole world now realise too.
And as for all those bitter bastards who spend their days twisted in a rictus of fury and insanity.. well we pity you. But we also need to slap you down a bit more often because i’m afrad you’re ‘scaring the children’, and we really cannot allow that. You HAVE the huge old-people’s home we call the countryside all to yourselves…please show some grace and humility for a change…you really are NOT relevant anymore…you haven’t been for ages now..we only still allow you your voice because we value free-speech so much…

Well, if it got the Daily Heil all foamy at the mouth and spitting with indignation, it must have done something right.

‘There is no ‘right’ to treat any piece of this planet’s territory as the private property of a particular ethnic or national group. Those who do so, and attempt to interfere with the choices of people to move and live where they choose, are simply enemies of humanity and should be exiled away from people. I’m sure there is some uninhabited place where these misanthropes could live away from the rest of humanity.’
