They must be fücking creaming themselves. :-(

Well no-one's leading, are they? The opposition is - to be fair - finally doing what oppositions are supposed to do and cynically and opportunistically milking the situation for everything it's worth, while the minority government (if that is what it turns out to be) is desperately flailing around trying to be seen to be doing something in order to retain credibility. It's a perfect storm of cüntery all round, basically.

I love the country. A section of the populous and the politicians not so much. Also the weather is ****. It's midsommar this week, a time when we should be having a barbecue and eating outside. It's ****ing 14'C :-|

I vaguely remember being called a racist for saying "curry ****ing stinks".

:hehe: I was shocked coming to London. Compared to Scandinavia this has been like a vacation in a tropical climate. The girls here are right minging, though. Mind you, that might be a reflection of the ****e neighbourhood I'm in.

I've looked at several reports and have seen nothing about 'cost price', I'm afraid. Indeed, I'd struggle to know what that term would even mean in the context of property.

Might one enquire which people you are referring to as a '****ing joke', and why you would hold such an abusive view?

My girlfriend called them noisy which they reported as nosey and which is being interpreted as anti semitic. Apart from the fact that it wouldn't constitute anti Semitism even if she had said it, it also ignores the facts that a) they are not jewish and b) my girlfriend is! The copper seemed genuinely dismayed when we pointed this out. ;)

As reported in the evening standard.... working restrictions have been removed to enable the flats to be completed quicker

Own up. If you had shelled out to live in there you would be ****ing fuming.

When did the police become obsessed with enforcing political correctness? They used to be famously racist, sexist and homophobic. These days it must be like being arrested by a Student Union president.

You know who I blame for this, don't you, p? Hint: You treasure your correspondence with the blank-eyed cyclepath.

I should imagine they are pissed off.... hard to see what the council/govt should do, they need to re-home them (as they are all council house residents) so to move this quickly is actually a shock.

As a side point, have any of these flats actually been moved into yet by the non council residents?

Mind you, some Allans have big bugles as well, don't they? Those Saudi lads can be possessed of quite the conk. Not that I can talk, what with my Irish potato-like snout :-(

Do you live up north? Northern women tend to be quite flabby and pasty, in my limited experience of the breed.

For once I have to agree. Blair passed a law that means you can be convicted of racial aggrevation if the victim feels racially abused. They don't even have to prove that it was.

In this instance he backed off after a ten minute conversation with me and two minute phone call with my lawyer who informed him that one more utterance of racist accusation would result in a lawsuit and a complaint about police harassment.

Its great when your girlfriend's uncle runs a top law firm :D

I found a place in Bethnal Green because I work in Shoreditch. It's a bedbug-infested lille room in a dilapidated ****hole of an apartment block, but it's overlooking Victoria Park and the hippies on houseboats on the canal, so can't find much reason to complain*.

*I am, of course, aware that it would be a living nightmare for you :hehe:

The good sort. The nationalityisy sort :nod:

Love Tanzanians, can't really be doing with Kenyans. Love Thais, can't sope with Singaporeans. That sort.

Not too sure how all of you have time for this.

I'm too busy feeling personally ashamed about the whole, terrible thing and the appalling part I played in it. :-(

Look, I've already made clear I've never been near the bloody place.

There was an article in The Guardian talking about how Britain was still a country that murdered its poor or some such shīte.

Needless to say, the writer was notable by his lack of botheredness when poor white girls were being systematically groomed, raped and trafficked by Pakistani gangs and having their plight ignored by the authorities, but there you go, eh.

No, apparently I hate them because they are Brazilian.

I love jews. I have an extensive Woody Allen collection.

Singaporeans are ok. Well, the Indian ones, certainly. Not so keen on the European ones. They come across as ****s

Ah, the old 'I'm not racist, my girlfriend's ethnic', thing. :shakehead:

Look mate, I've read in The Guardian that just because you are shacked up with someone of another race, that doesn't mean you don't hate that race. Indeed, by some logic I failed to grasp (but which is doubtless flawless), it often means you hate them even more. But only if you're white and they're not. The other way around is fine. Apparently.

Oh, well, that's all well and good for you Burney, but in 1995 I lived not far from there for 9 months and several times I cursed the people who lived in Latimer Road as cab drivers wouldn't take me home past the awful estate.

I practically killed them all myself. :cry:

Singaporean Chinese are fücking hard work imo. Intense, rude, vulgar and money-obsessed to a frankly off-putting degree.

Put it this way....I'm from Palmers Green. End of conversation.....

Anyway, as I told the copper, if I want to be racist I am perfectly entitled to be. What I am not allowed to do is harass people because of it. So stop asking me what I think and focus on what happened, which is nothing. Now **** off (I left out the last part but I am not convinced that the lawyer did)
