What a great evening,one of the rare occasions where flying the British flag and feeling good about being British is not seen as racist. Still I expect someone do gooder will come on here and complain that the muslims were left out and offended!

this sort of flag waving makes me sick,this was nothing more than a glorified national front meeting.what racist bigots these prats are.

They is no better than bnp,you get me.why did the old bill not stop this race? hate?

Im very offended by this, you should keep your flags up in the attic's now not bring them out in public as this is no longer your country its a mixed country and should be renamed the blacklands, give it 100 years and you will not find a pure white person as we are here to mix the race up and in the end we will all be black or brown!

Delroy
repeat after me...

"they are no better".

I am guessing that with a name like Delroy you are of carribean descent?.

Good for you.

The BNP exist and thrive because people like you and the comments you make cause outrage amongst the white community.


It is not racist to wave the flag of England,what is racist is to ask the people of England NOT to wave their flag that was around long before the windrush sailed.

Respect the locals and they will respect you.

Foggy mountain breakdown would be cool.

You may not have heard of George Steiner, but he is one of the cleverest men in Britain.

A professor of comparative literature, 79 years old, his Jewish family emigrated from France in 1940.

He lives and writes in Cambridge. And today he is in deep trouble with the multicultural lobby.

Steiner has made headlines with remarks to a Spanish newspaper, discussing his new novel.

Racism, he said, is inherent in everyone. Racial tolerance is only skin-deep.

'It is very easy to sit here in this room and say racism is horrible,' he told his interviewer.

'But ask me the same thing if a Jamaican family moved next door with six children and they play reggae and rock music all day.

'Or if an estate agent comes to my house and tells me that because a Jamaican family has moved next door the value of my property has fallen through the floor. Ask me then!'

The usual suspects - race-relations bodies, Muslim groups, minority spokesmen - have denounced Steiner's remarks as 'offensive, cranky, lazy generalisations'.

Yet reading what he said, I found myself remembering a day at Heathrow more than 20 years ago.

A heavenly cockney cleaner named Elsie Elmer worked for our family for almost 40 years. Elsie was a widow, a Londoner through and through.

When she was 77, she suddenly announced that she could no longer endure life in Hammersmith, where on both sides of her little house Jamaican neighbours played music full-blast through the night, every night.

One day, I drove her to the airport to emigrate to Australia, where she had a son living.

She hated to go and wept buckets. But she felt that her street, her city, were no longer the places which she knew and loved.

That is why George Steiner's words, which have got him into such hot water, struck a powerful chord with me.

He was making the point that it is very easy for us middle-class types, living in our cosy social enclaves with not a black or brown face in sight, to strike noble postures about race and immigration.


Too glibly, we demand from others a tolerance which costs us nothing.

Three years ago, an impeccably liberal study-group published a book entitled The New East End, which sent shockwaves through the race-relations industry.

It described the bitterness of many established white residents in East London towards Bangladeshi newcomers, who were perceived - sometimes justly - as receiving preferential treatment for housing and social services, while introducing values at odds with those of the traditional cockney community.

The book explicitly cited the follies of middle-class liberal politicians and social workers, whose own lives were safely isolated from the consequences, trying to impose make-believe ideals on others.

Nobody sensible could have supposed that the authors of The New East End were a bunch of racists.

They were merely honest researchers, describing the predicament of the white working-class, which perceived itself dispossessed by newcomers of its rights and heritage.

George Steiner is telling the same story. He knows that tribe, identity, matter to all of us.

We want to be good citizens, and most of us are determined to rub along with the new world, in which all manner of people from different cultures have been thrust upon us.

But it is not easy. The fools are those who pretend it is.

Many of us learned at school to cherish our literary and historic heritage - Dickens and Jane Austen, Marlborough, Wellington and Churchill.

There is an inevitable gap between us and those who share no part of that legacy, and in some cases do not want their children to learn to do so.

Watching Shakespeare's history plays performed, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I struggle to believe in black actors playing Henry V or Richard III, or indeed their courtiers.

This is not, I hope, because I am a bigot, but because I cannot forget that, in the Middle Ages, Britain had no black kings or lords.

Now, the answer to that one is that all dramas, including Shakespeare's history plays, are fictions which should transcend national cultures.


When I am thinking as a grown-up, I recognise this.

But, in the spirit of Steiner's remarks, I must admit the need to make an effort to become colour-blind.


I am not proud of saying this - it is just the way most of us are made.

Steiner was perhaps a little careless in his choice of words, in seeming to express indiscriminate scepticism about immigrants.

In truth, I think, we are pretty good at accepting people of any race who adopt the customs and lifestyle of our tribe - which is why race relations among the young in Britain are much better than they might be.

Many of the children of immigrants talk and behave just like their white counterparts, and are accepted on equal terms.


We direct our spleen against those - black, brown, or white - who behave anti-socially.

It is as repugnant to find a white teenage girl lurching drunk down a train as to see a black van-driver deafening whole streets by playing his stereo full-blast with open windows.

Our old daily, Elsie Elmer, did not leave Britain because her new neighbours were black, but because they behaved like beasts.

She would have suffered as much from their music if they had been white.

If they had adopted civilised values - which have nothing to do with class or race, everything to do with decency - she would have died in her London home.

George Steiner must be right - indeed, he expresses a familiar truth about human behaviour - when he suggests that we are most comfortable in the company of others like ourselves.

That does not mean that we expect neighbours and fellow citizens to vote the same way, to like the same music and films, choose the same holidays or favour the same clothes.

We merely want to share a common framework of values and behaviour, and we struggle in the company of those who do not, whatever their colour.

I was talking at the weekend to one of the most sensible pillars of the race-relations industry about the case of Tarique Ghaffur, the assistant commissioner who has denounced the Metropolitan Police for alleged discrimination about his promotion.

My friend said: 'You must remember that somebody like that goes through his whole career knowing that every time he walks into a room, most of the people in it are not hostile - but they feel a vague sense that he is not like them.'

This does not mean that Ghaffur is the victim of discrimination, simply that his relationships are fractionally different from those among white colleagues.

It is nobody's fault. It is just tribalism at work, of the kind which has influenced mankind since the beginning of time.

Only in a world where foolish race lobbies try to force multi-culturalism down our throats could its existence be disputed.

Mass immigration is imposing huge pressures on our society, and on the goodwill of its established residents.

What is remarkable is not how badly most people behave in consequence, but how well.

George Steiner has stated simple truths, and only the idiot Left could deny their reality.

I used to read my Dad’s newspaper with reports from the US about their racial problems, and, even as a teenager, had the wisdom to realize how lucky we were in this Country that we were, with a very few exceptions, all of one race - so we didn’t experience inter racial problems.

Then of course, successive Conservative and Labour governments went ahead and ruined all that by allowing mass immigration and now we have ‘Racism’ in this country!

And somehow, even though the majority of people in this Country didn’t want mass immigration, and certainly have never voted for it - the resultant mess is all our fault?

My Dad, like many others of his generation, fought in the last World War. He nearly died from injuries received, and lost many close friends. I do wonder, if he and those friends could have seen the state of our Country today, with the way large areas have become ‘foreign countries’ - would they have bothered to fight? If we had lost the War and been invaded by Germany, we would not have so many ‘ethnic’ Germans living in the UK as we now have ethnic invaders from all over the world. The very Town that my Dad was born in is now like an African town - full of African immigrants, with the indigenous people now being a minority. This is what my Dad and his compatriots fought for?

It seems to me that the Working Class of this Country are good enough to fight wars for the politicians when it suits them, but not good enough to deserve a say in what happens to their country. REMEMBER THAT ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WOULD VOTE FOR LABOUR OR THE CONSERVATIVES. Look at the mess that they have made of this once prosperous and peaceful country.

They import millions of bowels.

Leaving aside the **** about race, people who's only desire in life (with all the amazing amount of music available to them) is to stand and wave some flag to some Elgarian trifle (the words to which he loathed ) clearly have had limited, sheltered lives.

The real Elgar was a highly sensitive person who hid behind a "British" carapace because he felt insecure.
In one of his letters he reports being involved in some tawdry patriot do when he caught sight of a daisy peeping through the canvas flooring of the tent where the event was taking place. He wrote "I thought "**** it all, **** the whole shebang, **** everything except that daisy, the one spark of real nature among all the artifice."

Don't think you'd find him attending many neo nazi rallies.

Even if what you say is true (and Thomas Hobbes believed man to be thoroughly rotten and corrupt and said that the existence of laws were needed because humanity would rape, murder, thieve and mutilate itself into extinction otherwise) do you really hold that such a state of affairs is right?

You really think that ignorance and superstition should govern?

"Hey, all moslems rape children, all blacks are drug dealers" etc. That is the kind of world you want?

Well tough luck!!Face reality and stop whining.

Not according to the History books lady. Its largely the Middle classes and Upper classes who have blowing that crap out of their arses.

Perhaps you should do some more research? I could give you a whole list of bourgeois junkies if you want.

A TODDLER accidentally shot in the head by his five-year-old sister with an airgun died in hospital yesterday.

The father of 18-month-old Rasheed Rullah had used the gun for target practice in their garden and put it down to answer his phone.

A police spokesman said yesterday: “Inquiries are ongoing, so we cannot be categoric at this stage, but I think we will end up continuing to treat this as a tragic accident.”

Handyman Bakht Zaman, 29, of Washwood Heath, Birmingham, had been “in a world of his own” since his daughter Asna fired the gun nine days ago, relatives revealed.

His father Bakht Rammand said: “It has been hard for Bakht because he will have to face his family and face me as head of the family.

“This is an accident which isn’t his fault but I am a father of five children and the whole family are going to ask a lot of questions.”


WHAT was he practising shootin? the infidle? what do you think alun page?

As a regular visitor to the beautiful city of Oxford, I have had to watch in dismay it’s decline over the years through multiculturalism! I used to love to go shopping there in the days when there were no problems with parking and the car parks charged a reasonable fee. Today, through the sheer amount of foreigners that have arrived there, it has become a stinking, garbage riddled, third world hell hole! Only about 18 months ago my youngest son was threatened with a knife by Asians trying to inflict their claim on this once wonderful city. As far as I’m concerned, Dr Taj Hargey and his ilk can go and whistle. It is because of the likes of his kind, people like me no longer want to visit Oxford and this once lovely city is now rapidly going downhill.
Once again we have to thank the lib/lab/conmen!!!!

If that truth hurts you then you need to ask yourself who you are and what you are doing in the U.K.

You are the racist my friend.Racism works both ways.


You by trying to deprive the indiginous people of Oxford their history, are no better than the monsters who enslaved your people.

This was a terrible crime,do not commit this type of crime on white people.


As for the way you speak....

If you want to be classed as a british person at least have the respect to learn the language.

great post tom,im a fan of yours.well done and yes we are being mocked ina big way but scum like Natasha cant see past her pc nose.

It might shock many of you to learn that i am not a British citizen.

My love of this country means that I am disgusted how the ordinary man on the street had been victimised into being quite at the risk of being labelled a "racist".

The downfall of any society started with traitors from within,i guess people like Natasha and Alan Page will have their place in the history books written about how multiculturalism failed in Britain.

WOW tom your great.

ISN’T it strange how those immigrants who have become influential within particular fields of our society appear to have a chip on their shoulder.

You would have thought that they would be satisfied to have risen to the top of their trade and done so well in spite of the rampant racism and insurmountable anti-immigrant bias that they tell us infects our society from top to bottom.

Take Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur for example. He’s a Ugandan Muslim immigrant who owes everything to Britain -– his education, his career and his current elevated status. Yet he is not a happy bunny and is suing his employers, the Metropolitan Police, for everything he can get, claiming that inherent racism within the Force has stopped him getting even higher up the promotional ladder.

His self-preening performance at the press conference in central London at which he launched his obscene claim was reminiscent of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown at her very worst. She is another Ugandan Muslim immigrant who has made a career as a ‘social commentator’ with The Independent and BBC by savaging the hand that feeds her and denouncing white British people as workshy, ignorant and, of course, “racist”.

But neither of them can hold a light to the great chieftain of ethnic arrogance himself –- Trevor Phillips, the supremo of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Before he joined the Gravy Train, Phillips claimed to be a socialist, although by sending his own children to private schools, he somewhat undermined these credentials. Now Trevor is of Guyanese parents and that country today is a cauldron of racial and religious strife, as various ethnic groups battle for supremacy, and is far from an advertisement for the joys of multiculturalism. Rather than trying to suppress the indigenous White folk of our islands, you would have thought a radical campaigner likes Phillips would have relished the challenge of promoting equality and human rights in his country of ethnic origin.

But, of course, we mustn’t blame the likes of Phillips, Ghaffur and Alibhai-Brown for this almost studied hostility towards the country and the people that have allowed them, albeit in many cases reluctantly, to make Britain their home. Their ungrateful attitude is the fault of the liberal intelligentsia and an orchestrated campaign of brainwashing by the media that everything about immigrants is “vibrant” and wonderful and that the boring old British people should be so grateful that these people have chosen to come and live amongst us.

The ethnic minorities and their cultures have been put on a pedestal by successive Labour and Conservative Governments which haven’t allowed a single word of criticism to be said against them. (I was banged up in Pentonville for three months in 1985 for voicing such criticism.)

Even when immigrants were rioting, burning down our inner cities and hacking to death with machetes PC Keith Blakelock, it wasn’t their fault — it was apparently ours — that of British society for not giving them all the opportunities they were entitled to.

The liberal agenda and a fawning media have made Trevor Phillips, Tarique Ghaffur and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown the monsters they are today. Without that help and if they’d been on a level playing field, they wouldn’t have risen through the ranks and wouldn’t have any influence.

The blame, as always, lies with Britain’s politicians of the last fifty years who have betrayed the interests of the British people. They have made us second class citizens in our own country who have to take it on the chin without comment when bullied and denounced by those whom seem to be our new masters.

A police spokesman said yesterday: “Inquiries are ongoing, so we cannot be categoric at this stage, but I think we will end up continuing to treat this as a tragic accident.” Handyman Bakht Zaman, 29, of Washwood Heath, Birmingham, had been “in a world of his own” since his daughter Asna fired the gun nine days ago, relatives revealed. His father Bakht Rammand said: “It has been hard for Bakht because he will have to face his family and face me as head of the family. “This is an accident which isn’t his fault but I am a father of five children and the whole family are going to ask a lot of questions.” WHAT was he practising shootin? the infidle? what do you think alun page?

Well done. You appear to have mastered cut and paste.

Shame about spelling though.

Have you asked hubby about that 9 year old yet?

I think its great that the knuckle draggers are having their say. We can see the level of intellect among them.

Not terribly high really. You would have thought a true patriot would have mastered their own language wouldn't you now?

No, what we have here are the big money little brains brigade.

As a regular visitor to the beautiful city of Oxford, I have had to watch in dismay it’s decline over the years through multiculturalism! I used to love to go shopping there in the days when there were no problems with parking and the car parks charged a reasonable fee. Today, through the sheer amount of foreigners that have arrived there, it has become a stinking, garbage riddled, third world hell hole! Only about 18 months ago my youngest son was threatened with a knife by Asians trying to inflict their claim on this once wonderful city. As far as I’m concerned, Dr Taj Hargey and his ilk can go and whistle. It is because of the likes of his kind, people like me no longer want to visit Oxford and this once lovely city is now rapidly going downhill. Once again we have to thank the lib/lab/conmen!!!!

Steve, please feel free to f--k off to Peterborough and stay there.

Oxford is a far better place without ignorant racists like you wandering around.

You lower the tone of the place something chronic.

Delroy repeat after me... \"they are no better\". I am guessing that with a name like Delroy you are of carribean descent?. Good for you. The BNP exist and thrive because people like you and the comments you make cause outrage amongst the white community. It is not racist to wave the flag of England,what is racist is to ask the people of England NOT to wave their flag that was around long before the windrush sailed. Respect the locals and they will respect you.

I speak anyway i want, you get me, dis is how i speak, you clearly is a racist, and i\'m reporting you to the oxford mail. What nazi party you from? I think dese people waving da flags is racist as you, you get me you scum bag racist nazi.

Reporting me for what exactly?. Because i do not agree with you?. If that truth hurts you then you need to ask yourself who you are and what you are doing in the U.K. You are the racist my friend.Racism works both ways. You by trying to deprive the indiginous people of Oxford their history, are no better than the monsters who enslaved your people. This was a terrible crime,do not commit this type of crime on white people. As for the way you speak.... If you want to be classed as a british person at least have the respect to learn the language.

How do you spell criticism or "indiginous(?!!)"Tom

?

You really are a pathetic and ridiculous figure you know.

Perhaps it is you who needs English lessons? Not Delroy.
