Watermelon smiles and piccanninies?  Great, let’s have a mayoral election about racism.

Meanwhile, here’s a real racism story.  Not in London, sadly, but in rural East Anglia:-

A teenage science student has been banned from applying for a training programme with the Environment Agency because she is white and English.
The recruitment agency handling the scheme told Abigail Howarth, 18, that there was no point in her submitting an application because of her ethnic background.
It made no mention of the ban on white English applicants, merely noting that candidates from ethnic minorities, such as “Asian, Indian’ and “White Other, e.g. Irish, Welsh, Scottish’, were encouraged to put themselves forward.

Abigail, of Little Straughton, Bedfordshire, said: “I was really disappointed. To be told being “White English” ruled me out in my home county shocked me. I know why there are positive action training schemes to assist those who are genuinely discriminated against but when it’s broken down to this level it seems crazy to me.

“I really wanted to work for the agency and I was very excited - followed by feeling very disappointed.

“I would not have minded had I been beaten for the position by somebody better able than me.”

Abigail, who is awaiting the results of A-Levels in environmental science, geography and geology, emailed PATH National Ltd, the company handling applications.

She asked: “Am I correct in assuming that as I am English (White) I need not apply as the preference is for the minorities you have listed, or can I apply anyway?’

Three days later, PATH recruitment officer, Bola Odusi, replied: “Thank you for your enquiry, unfortunately the traineeship opportunity is targeted towards the ethnic minority group to address their under representations in the professions under the Race Relations Act amended 2000.”

Such a policy may breach Race Relations legislation as employers must prove ethnic groups are under-represented before using positive discrimination strategies.

The Environment Agency admitted it had ‘no evidence that white Welsh, Scottish or Irish workers were under-represented’ in the Anglia region.

But bizarrely she could have applied if she had been white and Welsh, Scottish or Irish.

Abigail, who wanted to join the Agency’s flood management programme, saw an advert in a local newspaper offering positions in the Anglia region where she lives, complete with a £13,000-a-year tax-free grant.

Regarding GW’s commente just above:  Can everyone see the whole thing, the whole set-up, is guaranteed to replace whites, engineered specifically to have that outcome?  Yes it’s required by the Race-Relations Act Amended 2000 don’t you know?  Why do I have the feeling Lord Deedes had something to do with that act? ...

Interestingly, Boris would have had the surname Kemal, after his Turkish great grandfather, had his grandfather not taken the name Johnson when given citizenship.

For embracing the welfare state and gun control, I hope the UK is utterly destroyed.  Seriously.

What Churchill said about Britain’s immigrants

David Smith, Sunday August 5, 2007, The Observer

Sir Winston Churchill expressed alarm about an influx of ‘coloured people’ in Fifties’ Britain and looked for a chance to restore punishment by flogging, newly released cabinet papers from the national archive reveal. On 3 February 1954, under the agenda item ‘Coloured Workers’, Churchill is quoted, with abbreviations, by Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brook as saying: ‘Problems wh. will arise if many coloured people settle here. Are we to saddle ourselves with colour problems in UK? Attracted by Welfare State. Public opinion in UK won’t tolerate it once it gets beyond certain limits.’

Florence Horsbrugh, the then Minister of Education and Conservative MP for Manchester Moss Side, is recorded as adding: ‘Already becoming serious in Manchr.’ Then David Maxwell-Fyfe, the Home Secretary, gave a figure of 40,000 compared to 7,000 before the Second World War and raised the possibility of immigration control. He said: ‘There is a case on merits for excludg. riff-raff. But politically it wd. be represented & discussed on basis of colour limitation. That wd. offend the floating vote viz., the old Liberals. We shd. be reversing age-long trad[ition] tht. B[ritish] S[ubjects] have right of entry to mother-country of Empire. We shd. offend Liberals, also sentimentalists.’

He added: ‘The col[onial]. pop[ulations] are resented in L[iverpool], Paddington & other areas by those who come into contact with them. But those who don’t are apt to take a more Liberal view.’ Churchill intervened: ‘Ques. is wtr it is politically wise to allow public feeling to develop a little more before takg. action.’ Adding that it would be ‘fatal’ to let the situation develop too far, the Prime Minister is recorded as concluding: ‘Wd lke also to study possibility of “quota” - no. not to be exceeded.’

The documents give an insight into attitudes of the time and echo modern concerns about border controls. Handwritten notebooks were kept as a record of cabinet meetings separate from the official minutes.

That’ll be shortly after a flock of Porcus volans swoop in to meet’n’greet at the Board of Deputies’ “Smash the Race Laws!” gala, with foot-tappin’ tunes supplied by David Irving’s Jazz Fusion All-Stars (feat. Lord Levy on trumpet, Melanie Phillips on drums, David Aaronovitch on tenor sax).

Gongstar’s post, a couple above, showing the memos that go back and forth among our overlords on these issues, should serve as a reminder that those whose hands paws are on the levers of power are, of course, precisely and minutely aware of what’s going on and what they’re doing and why, and so if we’re all being race-replaced it’s no accident but is deliberate and coldly calculated behind the scenes. Of that everyone can be one-hundred-percent certain.  They know race-replacement is the name of the game and they’re pushing it deliberately.  Only fools dream it’s happening by itself.  It’s being forced, people.  Forced. Presumably they have their reasons — or think they do, at any rate ... 

Well, they’re in for some ... “second thoughts,” shall we call it? ... Yes, they’re in for some ... second thoughts ...

The majority black vote in London?would that be the ones that are working?and if not ,why are they allowed a vote in the first place, and when did lawrence become an authority on the political makeup of our country,probably ever since her family diversified from drug dealing to pontificating.

Independent columnist Johan Hari, an homosexual Jew, worries that Boris could win because more people hate Livingstone:-

The London mayor is elected by a system called the Alternative Vote, which means voters are asked to express a first and second preference for mayor. Nobody wins more than 50 per cent of first preferences, so it is the second preferences which decide who becomes mayor. The danger is that Boris will get enough have-a-laugh Number Twos to win.

And of course it’s a “danger” because ...

London today is the first truly global city, internationalism made flesh-and-concrete. In my apartment block in East London, there are Russian exiles, Chinese students, a Ghanaian academic and a Colombian doctor - in the middle of a Bengali area. At any given time, half the population of London is now foreign nationals. This is a rolling experiment: can you really have - as Ken Livingstone put it after the 7/7 massacres - “the whole world in one city”?

“This is a rolling experiment” (—Johan Hari, quoted in GW’s comment)

Right, is there some way to run that particular experiment in Tel Aviv instead of London, Johan?  Hey just wondering ...  Look, should I or shouldn’t I hold my breath waiting for the experiment’s venu to be changed from Britain to Israel? ... Would it be medically wise on my part to do that? ...  Should I consult a medical doctor before trying it? ... What’s your best guess? ... Anyone?

You left off the line wherein Hazza admits that our glorious “rolling experiment” might be a tad risky:

This is a rolling experiment: can you really have - as Ken Livingstone put it after the 7/7 massacres - “the whole world in one city”? At the very least, it needs careful management - and Boris’s rural, retro-imperial attitudes are a guarantee he can’t do it.

Only the white-hating left can be trusted to steer the ship of our vibrant pan-racial state safe into harbour. “Careful management” means keeping whites cowed while their throats are cut.

Independent columnist Johan Hari, an homosexual Jew…

Hari has the typical Jewish contempt for the peasantry, but does that mean he’s Jewish?

As anybody who read my review is aware, my criticisms of his book do not consist of a denial that jihadis are a fascistic enemy who must be defeated: we both agree that Islamists are a monstrous foe who would kill us both given the chance. (I am gay; Cohen is ethnically Jewish).

GW, tale a look at the recruitment agency responsible for denying true English people employment in their own land :

Al,

Yes, interesting.  The thing about these Society Guardian confections is that they minister mostly to government at different levels.  If a Thatcherite revolution was repeated today they would all die a very swift death, because they cannot support themselves on the basis of their real-world appeal.

In fact, the black population as a whole would be disemployed overnight if government employment was sufficiently reined in.

Robert Cross: when did lawrence become an authority on the political makeup of our country, probably ever since her family diversified from drug dealing to pontificating.

That latter point is Nick Griffin’s opinion, presumably based on nationalist information sources local to Brixton in 1993.  Here is what he was filmed saying by Jason Gwynne, as reported during his and Mark Collett’s double-trial:-

The court heard that Griffin made another speech on May 5, 2004, at Morley Town Hall, West Yorks, in which he discussed the BNP as an alternative to the other political parties. He criticised the amount of attention the media had given to the Stephen Lawrence murder inquiry, describing Mr Lawrence as a drug-dealer who was notorious in the area for taking cash from children.

I don’t think Griffin has been required to offer evidence for this claim, and he hasn’t be sued for slander - which is a curious state of equilibrium.  One would think that the Lawrences would have been very eager to preserve the good name and high reputation of their son, and would have relished an action against Griffin, of all people.  Odd.

“the black population as a whole would be disemployed overnight if government employment was sufficiently reined in.” (—GW)

“If government employment were sufficiently reined in” and if the right of free association were restored to white employers in the non-governmental private sector who could then hire whom they pleased, not whom they must in order to fill government race quotas.  Unable to find employment, racial/ethnocultural incompatibles would then leave for greener pastures.  This is one way in which libertarian supporters of the right of free association, such as JJR and Ron Paul, would if they exerted influence help to advance our agenda of opposition to forced race-replacment.  Remember, race-replacement is succeeding only because it’s being forced by government.  All who oppose the sort of government force being applied to bring race-replacement to completion are on our side even if they don’t support what they see as “racialism.”

“No one with such views can be the mayor of a city with the largest black population in Britain.” (—quoted in the log entry)

That’s easily remedied then:  decrease the city’s black population. 

“David Cameron is fooling himself if he thinks Boris Johnson’s 1950s attitudes to race will be acceptable to Londoners, black or white.”

Can’t they get someone with 1920s attitudes?  That would be more like what’s needed.  1850s attitudes would be even better ... Hey I’ll volunteer if no one comes forward ...
