Too right society is at far more risk from the crooks running Tesco's or BP than immigrants or people not sure of their gender.

I don’t who the elite are now. The only political party in the UK that was able to change the status quo was the Labour party by giving the working man something for his vote ( at least after the second world war ) . However the Conservatives have taken this and ran with it. Control now is more...

That’s most certainly nothing new. Wasn’t organised religion supposed to be the ‘Opium of the masses’ .

One upmanship at work. It’s 44 years ago on Wednesday. Things have changed a bit.

Racism isn’t confined to us whites. In Kenya mixed white/ black people are called nusu nusu or half and halves sometimes they called mzungu fake or fake whites. Racism generally is ignorance. Ignorance isn’t neccesarily stupidity.
