    A poem I wrote after helping to paint Taz's room, and finding a bottle of White Spirit. Still in its raw, unrevised stages, let me know what you think...

    White Spirit

    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed,
    Keep away from sources of ignition-
    It’s their fiction
    Through rose-tinted eyes
    And flowery diction.
    Scratch the surface,
    For thinning the mind,
    And White Spirit
    Don’t give sight to the blind.


    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed-
    Lies through letterboxes
    And posted propaganda;
    Men in suits,
    Still thugs
    In jackboots,
    Trading swastikas for
    Ballot boxes,
    One cross for another
    Like a wolf in a fleece.


    Fleece, fleeced for votes
    On moral panic massive
    To stir up the passive.
    Lock the doors,
    Throw away the key,
    ‘Ain’t nobody welcome
    If they don’t look like me!’
    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed.
    White Pride,
    Deadly when followed.


    So keep close,
    To sources of ignition!

    anti white racism but thats ok


    take the cases of two kids racially murdered stephen lawrence who was stabbed

    and kriss donald who was 15 kidnapped in daylight because he was white tortured all night
    its reported his eyes were gouged out and he was castrated , then he was set on fire and he crawls 150 yards to a ditch ,where hes found in such a bad state the person who finds him thinks hes a dead pig thats been dumped .

    which case gets the attention, which name do you know, well the stabbing and stephen lawrence because the only racists are white arnt they

    Actually, I know of both. But good to see you've joined the BNP Jonny. Your argument is ridiculous. How is my poem anti-white racism? It's anti-white pride which is a distinct phenomenon in society. As you should know, I'm anti all forms of racism....

    No, it's poetry, and it was specifically about the BNP if you read the lines. And it was partly for Paul, who's Irish friend recently got beaten up by skinheads. Poetry is not meant to be an essay, or a political speech.

    And although your comparison between Kris Donald and Stephen Lawrence is an important one, it does ignore one crucial factor. Both Stephen Lawrence and Kris Donald got coverage when they were murdered, Kris Donald got about 3-4 days of coverage at the time. What made Stephen Lawrence stand out wasn't the fact it was a racist murder, but the fact that the police were found to be institutionally racist in handling the case. And whereas people have been charged over Kris Donald, the police failed to do anything over Stephen Lawrence. His black friend was treated very harshly by them, being seen as a suspect, not as a victim. From that emerged the McPherson report, which put the case through the media for a long time afterwards. Kris Donald, by contrast, though an equally, if not more, appalling and equally racist murder, was wrapped up relatively quickly.

    Im sorry your right I will stay away from poetry in future, and in fact there were other things in the stephen lawrence case that may have given it more publicity the mcphearson report institutional racism in police force .
