Chavs: The people the BNP loves to recruit as the "salt of the land" in white England, and who are "victims" of free trade and immigration.

If the BNP coupled their opposition to immigration with a plan for giving depo provera injections to the females in the native English lower classes (instead of calling for more public housing and "workfare" jobs) maybe I would give them more respect.

Chardonnay?! These stupid pretentious names that these Yuppies and liberals give their kids are really getting ridiculous.

As George Carlin said, Connor and Kyle and Todd are NOT real names! What happened to Joe and Bill and Steve and Mike?

It would be great if some enterprising person would do a study correlating names with crimes. It would be interesting to know which are the most popular “crime” names the better to avoid future trouble.

Chardonnay

A fitting name for a genetically pre-disposed future binge-drinker.

Great Britain, quo vadis?

I am surrounded by Yuppies, and can guarantee you that, for all of their faults, they would NEVER name their kids “Chardonnay.” White trash in the UK seem to be doing this.

It’s not really about the child. The name leads to assumptions about the parents, and hence the upbringing.
