Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Ed Miliband was on a collision course on Sunday with the Board of Deputies, which speaks for Britain’s Jews, as he insisted that Labour MPs who are in Parliament on Monday must back a motion to recognise Palestine as an independent state.

Last week, Labour’s shadow foreign secretary, Douglas Alexander, announced that Labour was imposing a three line whip to get its MPs to back the motion – to the fury of pro-Israeli Labour MPs who accused him of changing party policy without consulting them.

well back home and see ukip up to 25% Clacton vote ukip does that make them RACIST no it tells you the whole country want immigration stopped and get all these
low paid un skilled migrants out of the uk . they pay no taxes use all the services
get free homes free council tax free nhs free schools and killing the uk

does this mean any one who votes to protect they country is a racist

if labour fails to become the largest party at the next election, and that is not even with a majority, then for once the tories will owe the (more militant) unions a HUGE vote of thanks ..... it is primarily thanks to them that labour has em as its figurehead (puppet?) rather than his brother

cynic I see you chose not to reply to my post

which one?

Boris Johnson calls for quotas on EU migrants

The Conservative Party must tighten up border controls to win back voters from Ukip, Mayor of London claims

this one cynic

boris is a dimwit of a clown

why does it require a response from me or anyone else?
it's merely a regurgitation of your usual inaccurate nonsense

Labour are nervous of Boris. Far from a dimwit or clown as you put it. Could well be the next con leader.

no cynic the people of Clacton have voted ukip does that make Clacton people racist

Of course it does!

if clacton's residents are similar to those of frinton, then yes, they almost certainly are ...... they would no doubt deny it, but i wonder how many non-white members there are of their local golf club

more seriously, there is no question at all that the current immigration system needs a radical overhaul so that those who are allowed residential status have skills that are required and/or can prove that they will not be a strain/drain on the welfare system ..... that is not greatly different from what australia, usa and canada already have in place

I don't think the people on here, who are slinging the term racist about, actually know what it means.

Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples.

It often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities.

Before these posters go any further, they need to define what they mean by the term 'racist'?

It cannot be wrong to want to protect the culture of your country against it being spoiled by residents of another country.

But similarly, it must be wrong to say that the UK is being spoiled by people from other countries when they immigrate into the UK and add value.

As in all things, moderation is usually the best stance.

exactly so and is rather what i have written several times before

Is voting for the UKIP racist? If so why? Last time I checked immigration was only one reason why we maybe shouldn't be in the EU... Personally the EU policies on Health and Safety, Minimum Wage, Benefits, HUMAN bloody RIGHTS, Environment and Energy are all reasons why voting for UKIP makes sense... On a personal note if I can sit with my family on the beach in Southsea eating ice-cream and not feel like I'm a stranger on my own shores I'd be a lot happier...

Exactly.

Voting for UKIP might be racist.

Voting for UKIP might not be racist.

As to whether it is racist or not to vote UKIP depends on the motives of the individual voters.

It cannot be defined as a generality. As in: "If you vote for UKIP you are being racist."

What utter rubbish!
