Good to see someone standing up for ordinary British people.

Once regarded as the backbone of Britain, the people who saved our country in two world wars, the indigenous, less affluent, sector of the population is now treated with contempt by liberal elitists, who sneer at the supposed idleness, vulgarity, xenophobia and ignorance of so-called "chavs" or "white trash".

And that's by the Labour Party.

The 1997 election told you all you needed to know about that. John Major was the Brixton boy. Blair's full name is Anthony Charles Lynton Blair...he's a toff.

Great Britain better get its act together, or its citizens will be trading their Shepherd's Pie for couscous.

"Toff" being English slang for an elitist milquetoast?

I would appreciate it if people would actually remember the following statistic. I'm getting tired of repeating myself:

1.6 million out of 60 million!

Muslims are a minority in this country and are presently being diluted by an onrush of Eastern Europeans.

See here.

Are we happy now? Enough popular myths dispelled for the day? Good.

of course it is trending that way here and I'm angry about it. People feel as if shite people are evil, WE ARE NOT.

I've said it over and over, there is one group of people who if they went on strike tomorrow, the results would truly be devastating. And I almost wish they would, except for the tragedy that would result.

White American males.

I read the article, and I do apologize. At least these immigrants won't be plotting to blow up your infrastructure (as well as America's, France's, Italy's, etc.).

I've been wishing this for years! Just for the fight against taxes. Now we have other reasons. It wouldn't happen though, sadly.

Yet, but it's 1.6 million too many and the whole political and social establishments are kissing their butts and giving them the country on a platter.

I'd remove the giant plank in your eye before commenting on us:

President Bush Attends Iftaar Dinner at the White House

Have a nice day.

LOL!

Yep, our President is kissing the butts of those who may want to take over our country and blow us up real good.

It is fascinating to watch multiculti socialists bashing the very class their ideology supposedly venerates. Marx at least proposed a worldwide, cross-racial solidarity of the working class; his successors are racists pure and simple. It isn't an improvement.

Of course, a truly uneducated and illiterate underclass, white or otherwise, might at last constitute what the Marxists have always wanted, a true proletariat. That isn't an improvement either.

I think that on the whole I would rather be overrun by [nominally] Christian Euro's than Headhunting MoonGod Worshippers. But You live there and I don't, we have our own problems here.

I couldn't agree more. President Bush is making an ass of himself. Our liberal elites are also pro-terrorist!

We could use a few more waging this kind of defence in the United States.
