no news is probably good news

so what of the news today?

muslims setting fire to poppy's, claiming they hate our country, and our war victims deserve to die.

this news made me nearly as sick as a story a few years ago, when they discovered muslim people, acting on allah's behalf - were selling 'chocolate cakes' to white people filled with human shit.

i know you can't hold each person accountable for the actions of another. however, as a white man who holds the brunt of the blame for my forefathers abuse toward black people, i am starting to believe the boot is now firmly on the other foot. do as i say and not as i do.

i think this is racist, i must ask that if they hate our country - why live here and claim as many benefits as you do (and are still getting)?

i got called a white twat not so long ago. why? because i walked past someone.

this is starting to get ridiculous. i just had to say that, it has made me pretty sad. it's quite an important time of year for my dad's family, after all.

 

No news is just about the best news imaginable imho I stopped watching or listening to the news about a year ago. The result is, I only get to hear about important things that friends are talking about. The scaremongering and mind control doesn't get to me that way any more. I didn't find out who won our last election until 4 days after it happened, and it turned out that it still wasn't decided. I noticed quickly, a lot of the news is about things the media want us to think are going to happen. Its a lot less stressful to wait and find out what actually has happened. People tell me I really ought to pay attention to the news, or I won't know what's going on in the world. I ask them, since I can't control world events, how does it help if I make sure I get upset about them anyway? The story that made me switch off last year was this; A man murdered his daughter by pouring petrol over her and setting her alight. Neighbours raised the alarm, the girl lived just long enough to tell her father she loved him. I mean, why did I need to know that? I already know the world throws up that kind of evil on an hourly basis. Sorry if I'm getting away with not doing something that most people absolutely have to do, but the fact is, you don't have to let the world media take over your head. Even if you do take in their news, you only get their take on it. Reality is very different, scarier in many ways, yet somehow it doesn't destroy my chances of happiness at every turn

 

Probably because their forefathers earned the right to settle in Britain, as the result of them being inducted - however unwillingly - into the British Empire. Empires collapse but the moral obligations live on.

I got called an English bastard in Wrexham once, probably just because I was an English bastard. My abuser was fat, ginger and Welsh, so I figured he had problems to work through I didn't hold it against the Welsh as a whole, any more than I'd expect them to all get back over Offa's Dyke.

Right, the thing is, a few hundred years ago you'd have been saying the same things, believing the same stories about the Jews, who were then society's whipping boys... different enough to stand out, in small enough numbers to be open to easy prey for mobs.

The story of Little St Hugh of Lincoln is a perfect example...

Wikipedia - Hugh of Lincoln (1246 – 27 August 1255) is a folk-figure, an English boy, whose death prompted a blood libel with ramifications that reach until today.

Hugh is known as Little Saint Hugh to distinguish him from Saint Hugh, otherwise Hugh of Lincoln. The style is often corrupted to Little Sir Hugh. The boy disappeared on 31 July and his body was discovered in a well on 29 August.

Shortly after his disappearance, a local Jew named Copin (or Jopin), under torture, admitted to killing the child. In his confession Copin stated that it was the custom of the Jews to crucify a Christian child every year.

Copin was executed, and the story would have ended there were it not for a series of events that coincided with the disappearance.

Some six months earlier, King Henry III had sold his rights to tax the Jews to his brother, Richard, Earl of Cornwall. Having lost this source of income, he decided that he was eligible for the Jews' money if they were convicted of crimes.

As a result, some ninety Jews were arrested and held in the Tower of London, while they were charged with involvement in the ritual murder.

Eighteen of them were hanged for refusing to participate in the proceedings and refusing to throw themselves on the verdict of a Christian jury.

It was the first time ever that the civil government handed out a death sentence for ritual murder, and King Henry was able to take over their property.

The remainder were pardoned and set free, most likely because Richard, who saw a potential threat to his own source of income, intervened on their behalf with his brother.

Personally, I think I've been on the end of more abuse and been put in more danger by my fellow White/British than by any Muslim or British/Asian.

I got called "English Scum" last year by the guy who normally works at the Ciggy Desk in my local Morrisons. I am in Scotland by the way and I did have an England football shirt on but you could barely see the 3 lions crest on the shirt because I had a hoodie and a jacket over the top. I've lived in this part of the UK for the past 17 years and not ONCE have I ever called any of the Scots a "Scottish *insert offense here*" whilst I've have "English so-and-so" thrown in me face since I was 7.

 

Football-related [if that's what it was] insults are something else altogether, though - especially in Scotland and Ulster, where it takes on a religious, Catholic v Protestant, aspect.

So I expect you can feel some sympathy for the British-born kids of Asian, West Indian or African parentage receiving the same kind of abuse.

 

I've been abused for coming from Sunderland more than once when in Newcastle, and being in a very Welsh part of Wales, am regularly abused for being English. Makes me laugh, xenophobia is just as much a load of cack wherever it happens.

 

earning your right is fair game, but this individual has lost his right surely? this man is still permitted to take almost a thousand pounds a month in benefits, even after his crime. and let's not forget, he had only a fifty pound fine, refused to pay and even refused to turn up to his trial - he admitted he was proud of what he had achieved.

his forefathers, i'm sure, would not agree with this. unless they came here to cause trouble, in which case we've gone in circles, because they wouldn't have earned their right either.

we have an obligation to act as other ethnicities wish when we visit or stay in their countries, why is this not shares likewise. my sister had to cover up her bare skin in egypt, to avoid disrespect toward their culture - why didn't she just tell them to fuck off?

the english are as bad - i get made fun of constantly for my voice, and sheep of course.

and anyways, it's banter, it happens with many neighboring countries - and even if it were hatred, we wish no physical pain on one and another.

i'd wager that may be true, but the it's more qualitative than that - this one person is a larger public threat than 100 white british. he wants to blow shit up.

it was only a few months ago that the new shopping centre in cardiff was nearly burned to the ground by two muslim men who planted a bomb. it was found the day it was set to be ignited - it would have killed hundreds of people. i was in the city that day.

i fear for the countries future, commence war of the roses ii.

 

this is fair enough, i stressed accountability for another's actions. but i'm constantly reminded of my forefather actions toward other races (if my family ever was). i am a new generation, i have a right to a fair say.

my point: i'm not a racist, and you are not my slave. let us just accept this.

 

racism happens everywhere. but physical racist attacks do not. the welsh do not attack the english.

it is not possible to claim that the 9/11 attacks, and say english/welsh racist comments, are in the same league.

 

Wars of the Roses I was an inter-dynastical struggle for who was going to be king... WOTR II would be like Prince Charles raising an army and fighting Prince Edward.

So I'm not really sure what you're getting at there...

 

Well, if you discount groups like Mabion Glyndwr and the burning of holiday cottages, for example... not that I didn't have some sympathy with that.

 

Some just haven't yet gotten past the thrill of naming the animals.

 

it was just supposed to be a jibe at the fact that, since these terrorists are british born and have british 'rights', they will eventually become a ruling force due to our political subservience. it was nonsensical and sarcastic - not toward you just toward the crappy circumstance.

 

Funny, I live in Sunderland, but never had any trouble in Newcastle. Maybe the people I know there are a bit more cosmopolitan. God knows, I've met enough Makem idiots - cant really call them xenophobes...urbophobes maybe ? - and I'm sure an equal number exist on Tyneside.

Likewise welsh Wales... not knowingly had any problems [outside one case in Wrexham]...but then, maybe they were insulting me in Welsh.

On the other hand, maybe they just weren't bothered about where I was from, and recognized we're all the same species.

 

i'm not bothered about where a person is from. i'm bothered about any religious practice that involves my head on a stick.

 

I dont see that inevitable domination by them - whoever they might be - is a given. Sounds more like the sort of stuff the Daily Mail peddles.

To my find, the real terrorists for the majority of the population are probably all the thieves and vandals and nuisence neighbours that make their lives hell on a day-to-day basis. And I'd bet the majority of them are white/British born & bred, at least in my region.

 

Yeah... I think you're getting mixed up with head-hunters there. Just avoid Papua New Guinea and you should be fine.

 

There is a church in the northwest USA called the Venusian church who's practice involves for one, sticking heads in slits.

 

There is one in the southern US that handles rattlesnakes during their services ,leading of course to the inevitable premature departure from this earthly plane.

 

i give up. this has become redundant :mickey:
