Stop the BNP - vote!

When I was still a teacher, I was publicly told off by the Headteacher for placing posters round the school urging students of a voting age, and others to pressure their parents, to vote in order to prevent the BNP from winning a seat.  Of course, as a government employee I was supposed to be impartial and fighting against discrimination and hatred, when it emanates from a legitimate political body, is not the responsibility of a teaching professional.  It didn't, however, prevent me from writing a little blog on my old website, that went like this:


"Save laughing at, and feeling superior to, the idiots who vote for, and the air-wasters who belong to, the British National Party, one feels powerless to do much about them.  In much of the country they pose little threat.  But in the London Borough of Redbridge, in neighbouring Barking & Dagenham and in Epping Forrest, they are unfortunately a real, and in some cases, growing force.  What can you do to stop them?  Simple!  Get out there and vote in every election you can.  It doesn't matter who you vote for, as long as its not the BNP.  Use your vote wisely – stop the BNP!  Visit www.stopthebnp.org.uk "

We're all immigrants

Most of us are 'immigrants' of some variety or another. Ask yourself "am I living and working in the same place where I was, by sheer chance, born in?" If not, then you are possibly taking employment, housing and opportunities from a local. Or, seen another way, you are enriching the community by adding your skills and paying local taxes. Either way, get a grip.  We all drain society as much as it gains from us, whether you're born in Kettering or Kabul. Swings and roundabouts. If you don't like them coz they look different, smell different and sound different, then just be honest with yourself and everyone else and admit to being a racist.

Conversations with a Swede

Let me share with you a little Facebook conversation with a guy named 'Johansson':

Thinking I may get more sense out of this chap!

Stefan Johansson

    Johnny Anglais Well, unless you changed your name by deed poll, you are undoubtedly the descendant of Scandinavian immigrants. Not that that negates you from an opinion on the current state of immigration in this country. Just an interesting factor to bear in mind.

    You have already told me you are. JOnas Offrell was Swedish. Just as long as we have that established. You are descended from a Swede. You are descended from an immigrant that arrived within the last 200 years. Just want to get that straight. Just want to get that out in the open. I mean, my family aren't, but hey, thats just me. Doesn't make me any better or worse, although, in my opinion, makes my family history a lot more boring. So there we go, Mr. Johansson, descendant of a Swedish immigrant. Its just a shame that Swedish immigrants can't be indentified by the colour of their skin, isn't it? Such a shame. Because then we would KNOW that they were descended from immigrants. Then we could single them out for racist abuse, stereotyping and bigotry, you sex-indugling, socialist-thinking, tax-loving, blond-haired, horn-hatted, Swedes! Such a shame we can't do that! But the black guy whose family came over 2-300 years ago as slaves and forced to work in Bristol or Liverpool for the slave-owner's family, well, he's still black. Makes it much easier to identify him. Thank GOD for that!!!! At least I know when I'm being racist, I got the right guy!!! But you Swedes, its like you're in disguise or something! You just can't be sure. But you're still immigrants, aren't you? You stlil come from somewhere else, don't you? Or is Sweden a county of England? Oh no, that's Swindon, its a town in Wiltshire, I always get those two confused. Swindon, Sweden. Hey, I know which one I'd rather live in. In fact, why on Earth are you still living here? With a higher standard of living, far superior health and education systems and plenty of benefits for the lazy indigenous, I would've though you'd be wanting to return toy our Swedish homeland! Its very easy, its part of the European Union, so you can just go and live there, you have the right - just one of the many benefits of being a member of the EU. And its ok, you won't be a target of racist attacks by the Swedish neo-nazis like many of the other 10% of the Swedish population who are immigrant, because you are white. Racists are pretty stupid, they find it hard to tell who is an immigrant unless you wear different skin to them. But hey, you're Swedish anyway, so what am I saying??? They'd welcome you in with open arms! Except for the fact that you don't speak Swedish. Its ok, do what every other Brit does, shout at them in slow English. Works every time. Best of luck!

    Johnny Anglais Also, still trying to understand the connection of, Jonas Offrell, who was born and died in Sweden and had five children, all born in Sweden, is a Great uncle, but your last name is 'Johansson'. Talk me through that one.

    Johnny Anglais And if someone of that generation was your relative, which would have to be a grandparent, seeing as your last name is 'Johansson', it would mean that you were at least 6.25% foreign, thereby, in fact, making you only 93.75% British.
