Yippee!

Hip Hop Hooray!

BIG JOHNSON IS RIPPING US OFF!

Red Ken shouldn't be too sad. If he learns Spanish he can be mayor of Caracas. Maybe Hugo could appoint him.

Outstanding! I nice bit of news on a dreary New England day!

Cool! Change I can actually believe in.

It's about bloody time. DLTDHYWTGLSY.

HIP! HIP!

Something new for the Imams to piss and moan about.

Good riddance. How long was he in office? Seems like forever.

Boris Johnson seems a bit of a buffoon, but he's gotta be better that Livingstone.....

Don't let the door hit you in the ass as you go, you bloody twit!

OMG, we actually have some good news today....

Piss off, you bugger!

This is good news. Brits need to get their country back

Buh-bye.

I guess he just couldn't get enough of the transgender Islamist vote.

While Red Ken was over the top, I wouldn't be surprised if the Tory mayor is just as much of a tool. The torries have been spouting all kinds of anti-american pro-terrorist drivel in their role of Labour opposition to Blair. I only hope I am wrong and we don't hear anything of this guy. Thank goodness Red Ken is packed off to wherever old commies go to moulder and die.

George Galloway has got that demographic locked up.

Can you imagine the meltdown in the newsrooms as the returns came in? Whole lotta heads splodin'!

Any word how that freak George Galloway fared?

Is there hope for the Brits yet?

Please don't tease us, mates.

Ah, so sweet! Going to be a great weekend :)

I blame global warming .... All increased CO2 does is raise taxes :-)

But can Boris reverse Britain's four-wife per mahomedan welfare cash payments?

As horrible as "Red Ken" is, what do we know about the guy who won?

I'd hate for an anti-american communist to be replaced with a quasi-anti-american socialist...

Not that the mayor of London has much sway in American foreign policy..

Just curious, is this guy's wife named Natasha? Labour should have run Moose and Squirrel against them, rather than some moron like Livingstone.

Hopefully Red Ken can retire in style with all of that filthy lucre he successfully snatched from his "oil for food" glory days.

re: #41 Kenneth

So it isn't as much of a celebration of getting a conservative there, just a celebration to be rid of Red Ken.

Damn, this is sweet. Okay, it's not like the Brits just elected Berlusconi, but even a sidestep to the right is a healthy measure - and it's nationwide.

Whatever help Blair was in Iraq, 'New Labour' had a whole lot of Old Labour troglodytes embedded therein, and the rest of the Labour government has been beavering away full-time on the surveillance nanny-state.

Now it's time to go point out to the Livingstone acolytes on the SF Board of Supervisors, with their congestion-charge plans and their tongues firmly up George Galloway's ass when he came to town, what just happened to their hero.

re: #53 winston06

“I think these results are not just a vote against Gordon Brown and his government, I think they are a vote of positive confidence in the Conservative Party,” he said. “I think people see a party that has changed for the better, that is united, that’s got a strong team of leaders and increasingly they are looking to us, trusting us, to speak out on the issues they really care about - in terms of improving schools and improving our hospitals and dealing with crime on our streets.

This is from Mr. Cameron- it doesn't sound naive to me- sounds like he and his party have a better idea what the electorate is really looking for in terms of the issues that are important to them. But maybe it's because I see the term "crime in our streets" as code, since the J word is verboten.

Oh, my bad your right

re: #58 CyanSnowHawk

You're right. Somehow, I think the UN Food Program doesn't spend our money on warehousing "food" for Phakestinians for example.

From what I've read (not much!), it sounds like he is less of a conservative than even McCain. But I still think these electoral trends are good, in that they show a rejection of the way the left is handling things.

Okay, it's inconsistent. The French took a healthy step, the Italians just mopped most of the Left right out of national government and gave Berlusconi the tightest control he's had yet. We need to be careful because in parts of the East the 'conservative' choice is the old Communists.

Galloway sits for Tower Hamlets, which pretty much seems to be Islamabad-on-the-Thames anyway, so it'd be hard to get the guy out with anything but a large canvas bag and a CIA jet.

I could never get a handle on that guy. He seemed to be having too much fun to be taking it all seriously, but who the hell really knows? Maybe he was the next Josef Stalin, or maybe he was like the Russian "boomer" commander (now retired) I've come to know here in Canada, who would never have launched, and who reveled in the absurdity of it all.

This is all I could find on him.

In London, voters were also electing the 25 members of the London Assembly, the body that holds the mayor to account.

Eleven of its members are elected by proportional representation – raising the possibility that George Galloway, the anti-war Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, could win a seat.

There is also a chance the far-right British National Party could gain its first seat.

Europe Shifts

In the last few years Europe has taken a hard turn to the right. The expected accent of Boris Johnson, a charming witty train wreck of a Tory (I mean that in the nicest way) to oust Red Ken Livingstone as Mayor of London is a case in point.

No one is really talking about why this shift in political tastes. Of the largest countries in Europe, only Spain has a socialist government. Sarkozy, Prodi and Merkel are almost certain to be joined soon by Brittain's Cameron.

The reason for this sea change can be summed up in a single four letter word: fear. At hoem and abroad, Europe feels tremendous insecurity. The impact of unchecked immigration, lawlessness on the streets of Europe and the threat of domestic terrorism has finally sunk in. In Europe you are now free to express any opinion so long as it is not critical of the EU or Islam. Thank you Labour said the voters, we are now Tories. The daughters of Britain are prostituted by illegal immigrants, the sons are beaten to a pulp for asking directions in Bradford. Even the Austrian basement dungeon story resonates with European voters who see criminals being tapped on the wrist while people are afraid in their own homes.

The socialists have zero credibility regarding crime and national security. The Brown government is busy planning to build whole new cities for immigrants while the cost of a home has become utterly unaffordable for the average Brit. Then there is the small matter of a Police Departement that has become a useless bureaucracy, spending 30% of their time filling out forms from the simplest arrest. Meanwhile, up from a mere 500 (500!) residents of Britain so dangerous they require permanent Police Counter Terror monitoring are now 2400. Meanwhile, Labour appointed judges refuses to deport open supporters of Bin Laden for fear of what might happen to them if they were no longer safe in the UK. The danger such a person represents to the citizens that pay the Judge's salary are less important than the right of al Qaeda to have secure operations in the UK.

The Tories are slated for a landslide because, as conservatives, they can speak of national and domestic security instinctively. They might even win every seat in Parliament by promising tough minimum sentencing, expedited unconditional deportation of noncitizen terror suspects and limits on immigration. Rudy Giuliani could make a fortune advising the Tories on how to clean up the streets.

The relationship between Islam and its host society in Britain is far and away a central part of these issues. Asian thugs abusing the British system while supporting Jihad is Labour's gift to the voters. Stating flat out that there is one system of law in the UK and it is not Sharia is what voters want to hear. Immigrants who wish to be loyal British subjects are welcome, there is such a thing as good immigration. People wishing to adopt the social contract of the host society can be welcome, people who aren't should not be allowed to come.

As for Boris Johnson, a heartfelt congratulations on flushing away the crapulous leftist bigot, Livingstone. No finer political turd has ever been expulsed to the sewer of beneath contempt former officeholders.

For now PM Brown remains in power but his days in power are to be very short in number.

You have an intriguing idea there. We set up the island, and then we invite all of these Elders (ahem!) to a giant Peace & Justice Conference. Then we leave 'em there, where they can blabber perpetually among themselves, "solving" all of the world's problems.

Once the forum's established I think it only appropriate that UN headquarters should be relocated there as well.

Oh well, not that I've ever been a particularly active poster around here, but I think it's time to bug out for the moment - there's not appropriate alcohol in the house with which to toast the chapping of Red Ken's ass.

Up front, I am not well aware of London politics, but do you think the voters are concerned about terrorism?

Well, seeing as you asked nicely :)

Livingstone is getting royally shafted for a few reasons, but chiefly among these are A: The fact that people are genuinely pissed off with him and his policies regarding his 'vision' of London, and B: as a consequential response to the Labour government and Gordon Brown who, in the last few months, have managed to absolutely piss off just about the majority of the British citizenry. Have a look in the news for the '10p tax band' controversy. They really fucked up with that one.

We (Britons.....I'm from up North, though I'm sure the Southies would agree) have concerns about terrorism but, just as I'm sure the same is true for all of us, it's not the only concern we have. From a personal perspective, all I did was grow up watching one kind of terrorist give way for another, so it's something we're sort of used to. It's important and bloody scary yes, but we deal with it as best we know how. At least these days, I'm not fighting every other weekend with idiots who want to kick the shit out of my friends because they were either 'Orange bastards' or 'Fiannian c***s'

Ah.... memories..... But I do digress. No....it's politics overall that's seen Ken lashed mate and bloody good riddance too.

It's now been reported that the lashing that Labour got in the local elections has seen them take their worst hiding for 40 years. Let me tell you...... That is a statistic that has Labour filling its' pants. They have less than two years until the next general election and they have immense amounts of damage control to do.

It's all rather jolly, really

re: #92 song_and_dance_man

Now if we could only get rid of B. Hussein.

let's just stand aside and watch him bring himself down.

Let's remember some of Ken's key achievements

1) Giving the red carpet treatment to terrorist-loving, misogynist, homophobic, Islamofascist imam Yusuf Qaradawi.

2) Using London's poor in a publicity stunt for Hugo Chavez

3) Leaving an official function, drunk, he called a journalist a Nazi. When the journalist revealed he was Jewish, Ken called him a "concentration camp guard"

4) Confirming that his remarks were offensive to Jews, but refusing to apologise for them.

5) Saying "why don't you go back to Iran?" to a Jewish businessman of Iraqi descent.

6) Planning to charge people $15 a day to drive in London.

Goodbye Ken - you evil, odious bastard.

London HATES you

The results may not even be available until tomorrow, so no one knows yet if that nasty wretch has been booted.

Everything crossed here in the UK, that this soab gets to sling his hook.

Congratulations to our special friends the Brits. This is going in the right direction. Glasses raised all around!

Ken isn't the only leftist to get his arse kicked by Britain. The Labour party suffered their biggest electoral defeat since the 1940's in local elections, losing over 400 counselors (300 of them to a resurgent Conservative party)

It's just so lovely to see the leftards being so dramatically rejected by Britain.

I have made romance explosion upon myself!

JAGEMASH!

And I was just reading a London paper's story the other day about how it was going to be such a close race. And they favored Red Ken. Hehe

Boris is an intelligent man who plays the buffoon - whereas "Red Ken" is a buffoon attempting to pass himself off as an intelligent man.

I am not going to build up my hopes on this one!

Although its been helluva day for Labour Local Councils (hee hee), but then London is whole different ball game.

What I would like to know, is why is it taking so long for the results to be announced? When there is a general election it doesn't take this long. Strange indeedy.

re: #137 Sand Panda

According to Tessa Jowell, they are experiencing technical difficulties with some of the counting machines.

In a desperate bid to hold onto his seat of power, Livingstone has infected the firmware of the counting machines with a highly effective virus which has caused the machines to go on strike.

Apparently, the virus is the original firmware from the same machine that Gordon Brown used for ten years to work out the nation's budget as Chancellor.

The trouble is that the tories keep being tempted to make lemonade of labour's problems re: Iraq. Once elected however, they wouldn't follow up on any of their criticism.

The supposedly centrist Liberal Democrats on the other hand have been fully swallowed by the anti-american, antiwar nutjobs.

Yes!

re: #135 jaydee

what a grand idea. i love old speckled hen. it comes in a very nice bottle, too, well suited as a vase for a afew daffodils.

Shit - this is nerve-wracking. The news programmes are convinced Ken has lost, but I remember the exit polls suggesting that Kerry would beat Bush in 2004.

Pleaser, please, please let Ken really be gone.

re: #145 uptight

Here........ the last update from EUreferendum on the voting

19.58 This may be my last update as there is some paint out there that will not dry unless I watch it. At 19.51 across London only 86.90 per cent of the votes had been counted with constituencies where Livingstone was leading on first preferences well ahead. Most of them are in the nineties and will complete the count very soon. Whether that means the turn-out was low there we do not know as the figures as opposed to the overall picture are still unavailable.

Boris is still leading in eight constituencies on first preferences as against six for Ken, with Brian Paddick and Sian Berry nowhere. Incidentally, pretty little Sian has turned up here now and is looking a little grim. Her supporters are looking marginally less civilized than the BNP. A few others have been sighted - English Democrats, Christian Alliance, the odd Tory and Labour and Winston McKenzie the independent candidate is here, looking as natty as ever.

My guess is that a declaration at ten o'clock is optimistic. I shall now disappear into the West End and update everyone on the results when I get home. Assuming I can tear myself away from that drying paint. Over and out.

Shouldn't be long now

The London Evening Standard has "Boris is Mayor" as its headline this evening.

Immigration, high taxes, not being tough on crime, petty rules, more taxes, trying to run every aspect of our lives, lying, selling us out to the EU, stuffing the decent workers in favour of everybody else, starving our armed forces of money and kit and them being killed as a result, pandering to extremists, destroying pride in the country, destroying our armed forces, throwing money by the bucket load (provided by Mr average in extra taxes) at our health service , schools etc and if anything those services being worse. Spending more on "Quango's" than we do on defence by A FACTOR OF FOUR!...
selling our gold reserves for near nothing, running up a huge debt, more debt, more lies

This is marvelous news!

Happy Days Are Here Again!

Good to see the back of that Arab brown noser Livingstone. And I always felt sorry for his newts too. But from Livingstone to Johnson is going from bad to...er..slightly less bad. Johnson is a blithering idiot who plays the buffoon and cutey pie card to garner popularity. He is utterly without cojones when it comes to the crunch ...and the crunch is the TRUTH. And that matters more than canapes in Chelsea. But not to the public school educated toff, Boris. He says his great-grandfather was a Muslim and that Islam is a religion of peace. Puuuurlease! This guy is worse than an oaf...he's another quisling sucking up to the Muslim community in an obnoxious manner.

re: #63 Sharmuta

This is from Mr. Cameron- it doesn't sound naive to me- sounds like he and his party have a better idea what the electorate is really looking for in terms of the issues that are important to them. But maybe it's because I see the term "crime in our streets" as code, since the J word is verboten.

He has called for extremist Islamic groups to be banned for hatred of jews among other things.

Needless to say Labour did jack shit

re: #128 uptight

Ken isn't the only leftist to get his arse kicked by Britain. The Labour party suffered their biggest electoral defeat since the 1940's in local elections, losing over 400 counselors (300 of them to a resurgent Conservative party)

It's just so lovely to see the leftards being so dramatically rejected by Britain.

re: #158 londonpride

That was George Galloway (Red Ken's lunatic Jew hating brother).

From the New Yorker's article on the London Mayor race:

"the Conservative M.P. and former journalist Boris Johnson, is sometimes described as a toff...The theory holds that the willingness of London voters to support someone as posh as Boris Johnson would indicate a willingness to turn the national government over to the Conservative leader, David Cameron, who is even posher. Discusses attempts by the Johnson campaign to establish their candidate as a serious man and not, as he has been called, a clown."

My favorite is this

"Peter Kelner (head of YouGov) has just said live on BBC London radio that he will resign on air if Boris isn't declared winner in London. Over to you, MORI."

Yougov is a public opinion organisation

note also that

Adam Boulton on Sky reports that the top five constituencies for turnout are leaning Boris and the botton five are leaning for Ken. He describes the hope that Labour had that it might squeeze in on second preferences as "evaporating". He adds that Brian Paddick has told him he expects a Boris victory and that he has had the same verdict from Tessa Jowell. He doesn't now think we will get a result until around 11pm.

-wash wolfie's cars and truck.

-vacuum uptight's carpet upstairs and down.

-trim the bushes in front of Ben Hur's house.

-do Ward Cleaver's shopping.

-cook some dinner over a hot stove for LanceKates

-Babysit NY Nana's grandkids and change diapers afterwards.

re: #182 Joel

Agreed. The BBC's already funded by subscriptions - it's just those subscriptions are compulsory, with you being prosecuted if you own a TV but don't subscribe. Allowing those of us who don't enjoy being forced to pay for left-wing lies to opt out is hardly going to flood us all with adverts - they'll just have to take a crash course in journalistic ethics and accountability, persuading people to subscribe voluntarily instead of forcing us to. It'll be a culture shock to them - but then, British Telecom had to make the same transition, and survived OK!

re: #182 Joel

I do to but I hate state subsidized unanswerable to anyone Marxists even more.

The BBC's problem is intitutionalised Liberalism. It's a general culture that runs across many institutions. Academia, movies, local government, public services and - yes - broadcasting. Remember - Channel 4 is just as bad, if not worse

Elitist Liberals have mobilised themselves under our very noses and now they define our national morality for us. They dictate what is "right and wrong", "moral and immoral", "correct and incorrect". If you are a conservative, you are a bastard. If you worry about terrorism, you are an Islamophobe. If you support Israel, you are a zionazi. If you doubt global warming, you are a thoughtless, arrogant fool who hates the planet.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that those Liberal Elites do not represent anyone other than themselves. The fact that Boris can dislodge Ken proves this. There is a revolution under way. Ordinary people are fighting back against the PC crap.

Leftist ideology seen as old fashioned, defeatist, cowardly, immoral and idiotic. Common sense and decency will prevail.

And with this new culture, the BBC will also change. Institutionally. Not totally, I hope. Liberalism has some advantages over stuffy conservatism.

Looking at these results, I don't think I'm imagining the change in the tides.

Darlings!
Greetings from a much merrier England today!
We are not given to hysterics, rioting etc but we do get steadily up to a rolling boil in our own time - then watch out. *call me Tony* and *Gordon the Gopher* have been screwing us over for the last 10 years, wasted about a trillian pounds of taxpayers money. Knocked out the underpinnings of democracy in a desperate attempt to ensure that they can stay in power. Enacted *devolution* - but only to Scotland, Wales and N Ireland - not only to keep them sweet so they would keep returning Labour MPs but to eviscerate the English, we don't have our own parliament but the others do. They are chopping us up into regions so we can be sold off to the EU. Essentially, England will just about cease to exist.
They have also spent their time completely NOT listening to peoples opinion, concerns and fears. They have either lied flat out, smeared anyone who attempted to disagree with them and for years just haven't bothered to keep us informed. We don't need a referendum (promised by both Blair and Brown, they lied and we still haven't had one) on the Treaty of Lisbon but on whether we want to be in the EU at all. Brown must be bricking it (sh*tting in his pants) 'cos about 80% would most likely say *get us out of there*.

#121 Wishbone and #154 Londonpride - too right! Greetings fellow Brits!

I checked on teletext at about 8.45pm this evening and it said about 50% counted so I don't think we may know for sure until tomorrow. It could be very tight or a landslide for Boris, the bookies seem confident anyway.
I cannot wait to see the back of Red Ken, he hasn't met a terrorist he didn't like. A truely repellant individual. He needs to go down big time, if he does, I'll be dancing round my living room.
The local elections in Wales and England were a savaging for Labour. It's especially sweet because they lost many seats in what were traditional Labour areas. I am disturbed that postal voting is still allowed. The last general election was highly suspect in my opinion because of the postal vote, widespread abuse.

There was a lot of coverage in the Daily Mail so here's their home page, just click on the articles.
null

Maybe Labour thought they could get away with all this, but they should spend at least a little time in the real world. They need to learn a hard lesson - NEVER piss off the English!
Bring on the General Election, electoral hanging, drawing and quatering required. HAH!
Happy, happy, happy!
CHOCOLATE!

PS #113 Miss Trixie - good post from Ayatollah Knomeini, I would agree. Ken is head of the London Council, not Mayor - thats a whole different thang...
Regards

To those wondering about the Loony Left parties, here is a breakdown of the results, by party:

[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]

The lefty parties:

Galloway's Respect Party have 4 councilors
The Greens have 47
Socialist Alternative have 2

for that matter, the BNP nutcase racists got 37 councilors

To put this picture in contrast, the Conservatives have 3154, winning more than 300 from other parties, this time round.

The leftards are a microscopic dot. Irrelevent.

re: #208 Joel

It's akin to us being forced to subsidize PBS (and Bill Moyers) and NPR - wait we do!

A similar problem, but not on anything like the same scale - in the UK, it was only last decade that the fifth TV channel was finally created, with the BBC holding two of the five (and its cousin, Channel 4, controlling a third). Imagine PBS taking over CBS, ABC and CNN, scrapping all the advertising and donations to be entirely reliant on billions per year in tax revenue and you're getting close.

My hope, actually, is for almost the US situation to develop: government funding restricted to actual public service content, with all their standard commercial content funded in the same way as everyone else's.

5 /14 declared

Boris Buffoon 45%
Ken Bastard 41%

Boris is on course

Joel - not everyone there is a lib. There may even be a lizard in the works!

:-)

the BNP nutcase racists got 37 councilors

I have no love or respect for the BNP, but Nick Griffin is reportedly trying to turn them around, to much opposition from his own nutroots.

In any case, they are the only ones speaking about what really matters. If a respectable party takes up the issue of immigration and third-worldization, the BNP will fade into a well-deserved insignificance.

re: #199 ploome hineni

is he gay also?

Absolutely not - to the contrary, teeheehee!

Boris deilghts in looking like a totally distracted professor who hasn't got a clue - but he's got a very sharp brain indeed, and also has a grat sense of humour.

How much he can do in London, with the enemy still sitting in parliament and No 10, that remains to be seen.

One thing is however now clear for all to see; Labour and Gordon Brown have lost it utterly, and the way the economy is going here, after Gordon's fiddling and ineptitude, there is no chance that they can recover for the next general elections.
It even seems doubtful if Gordon Brown can survive the next Labour Conference in September. Replacing him won't help.

Sorry I'm late - the urgent matter of two rugby games needed my full attention ... My club won away, our rivals got beaten at home - another reason to be jubilant!

Here's a nice little piece about Boris, well worth a read:
[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]

From what I hear Kenny offended many people who considered the terrorist attacks and his enabling of muslim extremism. There was also some annoyance that Ken did not do all he could do to help London fully supplant NYC as the world's financial capital, as he was not exactly Mr. Capitalism. A worthy and happy political demise.

re: #226 uptight

Third World Slum?

What an idiotic comment.

As for Asians - oriental and indo, we also have Poles, Africans, Jeeewwwws etc.

Do you live in Britain? If so, how can you not see what's right in front of you?

"Asians" is a well-known euphemism for Muslims, I believe ploome was using it in this way. (And what's with the idiotic spelling of "Jews", btw?)

For that matter, America was build from those that arrived at Ellis Island.

Not really. America was already firmly in existence by the time Ellis Island became operational. Which is not to say that immigrants of that wave did not end up greatly enriching America -- they most definitely did. But things need to be kept in the proper perspective.

re: #224 Alibaba

re: #229 Q

Dunno where you come from mate, but 'Asians' is a well know euphemism for 'ain't black, ain't yellow, ain't any other colour......but brown.' That includes Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Seventh Occurrence of the Blessed Banana Skin's....... You name it, if it falls into the requisite geographical category, it's 'Asian.'

It's broadly used so as not to be over specific in reporting, lest it bring the wrath of the PC brigade upon the reporter. At least where I come from, that is.

re: #232 Wishbone

Thanks for your clarification. I still think ploome meant Muslims specifically.

re: #229 Q

Do you live in Britain? If so, how can you not see what's right in front of you?

I do live in Britain. In North West London. I've also traveled all over Britain and in no way, shape or form does any of it even vaguely resemble a third world slum. Not even Manchester.

"Asians" is a well-known euphemism for Muslims, I believe ploome was using it in this way.

No - to Americans "Asian" means orientals. To Brits it means people from the Indian sub-continent.

Slag off British Asians and you are including many religions including Sikhs & Hindus (who, like us Jews, are also victims of Muslim terrorism).

Asians are normally, nice, peaceful hardworking people who make a great contribution to our society. I have nothing against immigrants, just as proud Americans shouldn't.

(And what's with the idiotic spelling of "Jews", btw?).

It was a comment on the evil of racism.

However, if you and Ploome Hinie meant Muslims then say Muslims, but slam Asians and you are attacking my friends.

Red Ken's gone?

SCORE!

re: #233 Q

No problem mate. Although I should have also pointed out that, more often than not on the balance of probability, the 'Asians' being spoken of in British news and media are indeed Muslims; if only that they seem to make the headlines more often. I can't wonder why.

Headlines about terrorism are one thing, but ordinarily Asians means Indians (and thereabouts) - not Muslims.

"Youths" can mean rioting French Muslims, but normally it means feckless teens.

I don't think you understand what "pot, kettle" means if you're using it in this context. I am a nationalist and (consequently) immigration-restrictionist.

And yes, hate has nothing to do with it. If anything, it should be reserved for the traitorous elites who make the public bear the consequences of their liberal delusions and cheap-labor addiction.

Final London mayor result due at just before midnight, but everyone is still saying Ken is out.

I am elated. I can't express how much I hate that man.

Uptight: the children's TV might not be - but we have government services translated into Polish (and dozens of other foreign languages), government-funded English-for-immigrants lessons... Press 1 for English? Pull the other one - there aren't enough buttons on the 'phone to cover all the languages our councils have to operate in to accommodate all the immigrants!

Meanwhile, a friend of mine from NASA who developed training materials for the astronauts gets turned down for a work permit on the grounds there are too many unemployed web designers - but if she'd been an illiterate Eastern European, or even a Muslim terrorist "fearing" punishment for being a terrorist, Brown's regime would roll out the red carpet and start showering her with bomb money taken from our pockets!

re: #240 uptight

Hehe....... Isn't that just what I said mate? ;-)

We have a few Asian lads here running the local shop. They're all Sri Lankans and, in my affable opinion, also completely bonkers.

I thought you were an anti-British American.

Ploome Inaney likes to think of us as a leftwing loony bin. He doesn't care what it's really like here and doesn't seem to realise that dhimmi nutcases are the same in his country. Hence the pot kettle black comment.

I love other cultures, but I wish people kept them at a lower key than their culture as a Brit. Sadly, multiculturalism places other cultures on an even footing as British (or higher). That can make a country little more than an Epcot Centre and has to be fought (along with the political correctness that enforces it).

That said, a purely traditional, ordinary, white british culture would be dull.

I like the fact that I can eat Chinese food and listen to Mowtown and watch Adebayor score for Arsenal.

Cricket? That reminds me of the gas station attendant in Houston ... I went in to buy a coffee, as soon as he heard my accent (slightly more English than anything else, after studying in Cambridge) he was all fired up about the latest Test scores! I felt quite guilty having to disappoint him by admitting I didn't even have a clue who was playing, let alone what the scores were...

Uptight: the children's TV might not be - but we have government services translated into Polish (and dozens of other foreign languages), government-funded English-for-immigrants lessons... Press 1 for English? Pull the other one - there aren't enough buttons on the 'phone to cover all the languages our councils have to operate in to accommodate all the immigrants!

I hate multiculturalism. I don't mind multiracialism.

I mentioned the influence of Mexican immigration on America, because I thought an American was takin the piss. I mean, it's not like the US is without problems.

The political correctness culture in the UK comes from the Liberal elitists, not from ordinary Brits. That is why the left are being dumped.

Ploome is a 'she,' not a 'he.'

Anyway.......You're not a Chelski fan......It's all good

Who says Ploome is a "she"?

Insofar as I remember, I think it's usually Ploome.

I hate multiculturalism. I don't mind multiracialism.

Multiracialism can only work (to a limited degree) in the absence of multiculturalism. I.e. when the cultural majority: a) exists, and b) acts like one -- and so do the minorities.

In the absence of these conditions, you have a Hobbesian Balkanized free-for-all. Just the other day, some Hawaiian rage boyz attempted a bloodless coup. A taste of things to come.

I hate multiculturalism. I don't mind multiracialism.

In other words, there's a wide overlap, if not complete identity, between the two phenomena.

Oh thank goodness. I'm having a beer to celebrate. BORIS!

We can be many different races in one country - no problem.
But I think having different cultures in one country is bad. Insulting.

It's like Brits who go to Spain and live in British ghettos, refusing to learn Spanish, looking down on the locals and the culture of the land they've moved to.

Now, I'm not saying that there's no room for other cultures - they enrich our lives - it's just British should the the dominant culture for everyone in Britain. We shouldn't have council leaflets in Urdu. Everyone living here should speak English, wear western clothes and love and respect Britain. More than that - they should BE British. The desire top be British should be the only reason why people can emigrate here.

buh-bye

London's new mayor on Islam -

"It is time to reassert British values...That means disposing of the first taboo, and accepting that the problem is Islam. Islam is the problem. To any non-Muslim reader of the Koran, Islamophobia — fear of Islam — seems a natural reaction, and, indeed, exactly what that text is intended to provoke. Judged purely on its scripture — to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques — it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions. The trouble with this disgusting arrogance and condescension is that it is widely supported in Koranic texts, and we look in vain for the enlightened Islamic teachers and preachers who will begin the process of reform. What is going on in these mosques and madrasas? "When is someone going to get 18th century on Islam’s mediaeval ass?"[

Boris on Islam

Interesting statistic - for all the noise the Respect party make....for all the coverage they get....their candidate only got 16,000 votes. In a city of 8 million people.

re: #258 uptight

I am not arguing any of these (exceedingly obvious) points. But I'm saying that you ignore the racial component of all this at your peril. People are not limitlessly interchangeable; and numbers are of the essence.

Kudos to Boris for cutting straight to the heart of the issue.

PMSL.........Boris is IN and that corrupt-malingering-red-radical-lover-sell-my-soul -for-a-sixpence-orrible-excuse-for-a-human-being-k enneth is OUT!

***Up Yours Ken***

Elated!

Thank you, Jaydee. "Up Yours Ken" expresses my feelings better than anything I could have come up with.

He was born in New York City, too. And you know what a US birth certificate means: Jindal/Johnson 2012!

re: #163 kuffarharbi

Good to see the back of that Arab brown noser Livingstone. And I always felt sorry for his newts too. But from Livingstone to Johnson is going from bad to...er..slightly less bad. Johnson is a blithering idiot who plays the buffoon and cutey pie card to garner popularity. He is utterly without cojones when it comes to the crunch ...and the crunch is the TRUTH. And that matters more than canapes in Chelsea. But not to the public school educated toff, Boris. He says his great-grandfather was a Muslim and that Islam is a religion of peace. Puuuurlease! This guy is worse than an oaf...he's another quisling sucking up to the Muslim community in an obnoxious manner.

Thank you Smit, although Johnson seems to have slithered out of his initially brave stance.

kuffarharbi: Johnson's weaseling a few weeks back is worrying. And Johnson has been feckless in the past, certainly. Hopefully he won't back down from the inevitable car-b-q...

Buh-bye, Red Ken!

Ok Everyone -

Lift a toast to "Boh-Hor-Is" the Spider - dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum dum dum - John Entwhistle, +/- 1964. that is all.
