This video does not make for happy viewing. It depicts a British Mum, who quite possibly is intoxicated, and her racist rant against just about everyone else in her tram carriage.


The video, taken this weekend, has sparked a nationwide debate about racism and immigration and has reportedly resulted in the woman being arrested. After this year’s London riots, it is hardly the video the English needed the world to see.

London’s Olympic organisers probably won’t be too chuffed either. But mostly, we feel sorry for the kid on her lap. What kind of life can he look forward to?

      I’d say it reflects less about mothers than it does about how boganism is running rife around the globe.

      That would be rank behaviour from anyone.

    • mick e mause says:

      yes but its a result of the open door policy of the British Labour party who admitted it was in part due to a long term plan to allow in migrants without any sort of education or language standard. who would be dependent on welfare and therefore good Labour voters but it misfired it turned traditional working class people off Labour to some extent. She isnt on her pat malone and its not isolated, there is a huge amount of resentment in the UK about asylum seekers and the real or imagined benefits they get.

      They’re angry about *imagined* things?

      Well, damn. Why the hell do I need to give two rats rooting about people being afraid of imaginary things? We don’t tell some moron with aluminium foil lining his walls that it’s perfectly reasonable of him to fear the aliens reading his brain-waves; we make fun of them, and with good reason.

      What next? Foul-mouthed diatribes about how the lint might catch fire in our clothes dryers? Abusive tirades from people who resent that Tupac might *not* be dead?

      Enough of this pandering to the feckless and unresourceful. We shouldn’t be catering only to the most fearful and uninformed.

      @Tubesteak - Geordies are specifically people from Newcastle.

      I do agree that Britain and even more so continental Europe is in decline.  The question is why are we adopting more and more of their failed policies.  I would love to see a Europe test applied to public policy in Australia.  Basically if the Europeans are into it, chances are its a stupid idea.

      I don’t see how we will succeed in the Asian century operating a European model.

      If a person is unhappy with their life, they will very often pick a convenient target to bitch about. If it hadn’t been immigrants, it very likely would have been some other perceived social grouping.

      @bec
      Lint if left to build up can catch fire. I used to work in a commercial laundry when I was in Uni and we once had a serious fire caused from a lazy co-worker not emptying the the lint catcher.
      Thankfully domestic dryers in Australia at least have sensors that stop overheating. However you should always empty your lint filter after each load to be on the safe side.

    • bec says:

      Baal - don’t own a dryer. I’m not kidding when I say my fiance and I live like we’re in the 1950s, aside from the whole living-in-sin-before-marriage thing. Two bedroom weatherboard in a working class suburb, one second-hand car, no dryer or aircon. Our only concession to the present are badass computers.

      We live cheaply and comfortably and have everything we want. Sadly, no Burberry caps for our cat…

      Welcome to the future my friends. This is what happens when governments everywhere fail to heed the warnings from their people about mass immigration.

      Immigration has winners and losers. The winners are the new migrants, property developers, retail sector. The losers are low skilled workers, the environment and the existing population that will now have to share limited services and crumbling infrastructure with even more people.

    • James1 says:

      02:19pm | 29/11/11

      Let’s face it - immigration is not the problem here.  Low class child abusing drunkards will always be exactly like this woman.  In Toowoomba, where my parents’ union was called a mixed marriage because my dad is from Belfast and my mum is from Galway, there were low class drunken child abusers just like this woman.  Immigration has nothing to do with it - these people will always be terrible human beings regardless of where those around them were born.  It just happens they turn their ire on migrants instead of rich people, by which of course they mean the employed.

      If this is the calibre of the native born, if anything Britain needs more emigration…

      02:56pm | 29/11/11

      @Anna C..

      Absolutely right. For me it’s got nothing to do with racism, it’s about not letting these grub politicians pile more and more people in.

      Yes…..Spread the word. Any anti population party will get my vote….

    • James1 says:

      03:14pm | 29/11/11

      On the other hand, the lessons of immigration here are that they built this country and made it what it is today.  In a little more than 200 years, they have transformed an almost empty continent into one of the top 15 economies in the world. 

      As the son of Irish migrants, all this anti-immigrant stuff makes me a little concerned.  After all, my Irish immigrant parents are just as much a perceived threat to you as any other migrant, right?

    • Fred says:

      03:35pm | 29/11/11

      @James1. The Liberal party wants to import lots and lots of immigrants. Most Australians don’t want lots and lots of immigrants.

      Anyway I wasn’t speaking to you James I was speaking to Anna.

    • James says:

      03:53pm | 29/11/11

      James1, funny how some of your derogatory language mirrors hers, maybe you have more in common with “Low class child abusing drunkards” than you would like to admit.

    • James1 says:

      03:53pm | 29/11/11

      But I took Anna as being against immigration, Fred.

      In any case, most Australians vote for the Coalition, not the Stable Population Party.  Therefore, we can reasonably assume that most Australians support the policies of the main party in that Coalition - the Liberal Party - and thus support immigration.  Please just remind me, what was the combined primary vote of the two parties advocating zero population growth - the Greens and the Stable Population Party?

    • John says:

      04:07pm | 29/11/11

      I beg to differ, have a look at the crime rates committed by foreign born imports. Multiculturalism is contributing to the increasing crime rates in Australia, such as rape, gang violence, murder and theft. It’s also increasing, not going downwards. This means a very dangerous future for our children. In Europe it’s like 10 times worse. The Controlled Marxist media makes sure immigrant crimes don’t make it to the front pages of the paper in order for it not to interfere with the new world marxist agenda.

    • Fred says:

      04:35pm | 29/11/11

      @James 1
      You’re deliberately convoluting the debate because you know a lot of your supporters are anti immigration and are ignorant to the fact that you and the Liberal party are pro immigration.

      The Stable Population Party is only very new and didn’t have time to even get their names on the ballots properly last election hence the low vote numbers for them.

    • undertow says:

      Difference is, James, I have the video of her being a drunken low class idiot as evidence that she is a drunken low class idiot.  She has no evidence for her abuse.  I was simply calling a low class idiot what she is.  She was abusing people because of the colour of their skin.

      See the difference?

    • Chris L says:

      06:27pm | 29/11/11

      I think James1 is correct. There will always be useless people and they will always lash out at someone without needing a justification, just like bullies in a sandpit. We have benefitted greatly from immigration.

      The concerns about people not assimilating is valid, but overused. I see no problem with people maintaining their standard of dress and speaking their first language when talking to each other. The only restriction we should really impose is the rule of law and, let’s be honest, immigrants aren’t the only law breakers.

    • GREEN-WASH Party says:

      07:16pm | 29/11/11

      THE GREENS want open borders, not a stable population. They support the baby bonus (high fertility) and rapid immigration (just through more family reunions and refugees, and less skilled migrants). Obviously skilled migrants are worse for the environment…

    • John says:

      undertow

      Yes, wolves in sheep’s clothing. It’s pretty easy, just look at their war propaganda. There is no way Murdoch would be so powerful if he didn’t dance the tune of Rothschild. Their reports are against 9/11 truthers, the list goes on, their support for NATO’s death and destruction in Libya, their attacks on Iran. It’s the entire western media, SBS, ABC all propaganda networks. Also their worship of obama etc. The only people that work for FOX are people who want a pay check at the end of week, and don’t care about the reality of the world. The entire western media needs to be brought, CEO’s arrested, this of course after the international bankers get arrested. There are two main oppressors of western society, that need to be brought down. Once the two are down, their power over the politicians will collapse, sending the west back into a legitimate moral, democracy. For this occur the west must awaken to reality, and get their heads out of fictional fantasy’s which they are bombarded with everyday. I have awaken, many others are awakening. The end of evil is near.

    • TheRealDave says:

      03:51pm | 30/11/11

      I blame History Education as well Rick - given that Winston was the Minister for Munitions in 1917 after resigning in disgrace after being the chief architect of the Gallipoli disaster as First Lord of the Admiralty and then went on to command an Infantry battalion on the Western Front to ‘redeem’ himself…before nipping back to serve in Parliment again in 1917.

      Maybe you should start talking to people who like to actually think about issues instead of those who speak without properly considering the subject, Dennis. Perhaps you don’t realise that *every* social group is a target at some time or other—to wit, wops, dings, poms, yanks, yobbos, bogans, yuppies, pollies, paparazzi, reporters, jocks, nerds, cons, ex-cons, bikies, rich people, poor people, welfare recipients, and on and on and on.

      @ Mark, Who gets to be an Aussie?

      Anybody who can sit in a boat and lose their passport and identity papers I suppose.

      Not that being an Aussie means much anymore. It is no longer a national identity, but just a geographical expression of residence.

      But a kitten does not become a horse just because it was born in a stable.

      Multiculturalism means that the people previously known as Aussies have become hyphenated.

      Diversity is divisive, while social unity and cohesion results from shared values and a common culture, heritage and ancestry. That’s just human nature, it always has been and always will be.

What is British? Does she mean ‘white’ British? So that’s Briton, Roman, Saxon, Viking, Jute and Norman? Yep - real pure there.  I feel sorry for her child. He’s doomed to be racist too. Wouldn’t it be nice if he brings home a black girlfriend one day.  If he doesn’t turn out to be racist he’ll probably rebel by falling in love with a black girl.

      ...breaking news out of the United Kingdom now, where a self-described British woman has become angry, for more we cross live to Channel Z English Correspondant Sterling Wood, Sterling, update us on the situation:

      “That’s right Zeta, for the first time in almost 1400 years a Briton has shown a visible emotion. The English haven’t witnessed such a spectacle since Penda of Mercia invaded Bernica, and even then, their rage subsided quickly and they came to accept their Saxon masters with the same begrudging acceptance and passive aggression with which they’ve accepted potatoes, rain, poor dentistry, and the Welsh.”

      This is quite incredible Sterling, what could be the long term ramifications of such a seismic shift in the English psyche?

      “Well Zeta, if this continues there is a very real risk we won’t be able to tell the difference between an Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scot anymore, rendering thousands of jokes involving UK stereotypes walking into bars irrelevant and killing off the careers of dozens of Australian comedians.

      “The reaction of No. 10 has been characteristicly dour and drab, exactly what this country needs in its hour of emotional crisis. David Cameron called these events ‘worrying’, but committed to doing little more than stiffening his lips and looking disapprovingly at a corgie. Meanwhile the Royal family have committed to being even more dispassionate than usual to lead by example, with Prince William scratching at his bald spot with concern, and an undertaking from Prince Harry to have even more emotionly disconnected affairs with b-list actresses than he would otherwise.”

      That’s excellent news Sterling, keep us updated. Next on Channel Z news, production on the next season of Masterchef halted after cast members discover nests of spiders living in their eye sockets, and reading, could your children be part of this disturbing new trend?

      This is because Britain is losing its own religion. Christianity has become about nationalistic pride and tribalism now, people can’t tell you about Biblical teaching because people quite simply really don’t know it. The people that are suffering are ethnic Christians, and non-White non-Christians. There is racism in the church, and the church isn’t doing a very good job of addressing its racist laypeople. And then we see these non-religious people mentioning the Old Testament as if it was some indictment on God’s character. It is really just a indictment on sinful human beings.

      We see the events in the Arab world with a detachment from the reality of it. Yes, the Arab Spring is about people wanting freedom, but they aren’t looking to Western consumerism, prostitution and drunkardness etc… they are looking for freedom from their own tyrannical leaders and just want the West to get rid of them and leave the Arab world alone. They despise the secular West with all its ills.

      London’s Olympic organisers probably won’t be too chuffed either”

      Oh for God’s sake! One unpleasant foul mouthed drunken/drugged/or if she was John Galliano, ill woman mouthing vilely on a train and the internet goes viral and you think it is worthy of a column. Why, something new to be learnt about humanity, Britain, women, toddlers, or toddlers on trains, or trains perhaps?

      Having been sucked in by a previous confected outrage of yours today (Australian lad of Asian descent drives UTE, plus it seems has a footy sticker-probably anti-Collingwood on back) about the yucky behaviour of working class Australians Punch, I am not going to be so easily sucked in again.

      Just to reassure myself I had a look at life for Gibson and Galliano. Admittedly it is not quite so sweet for Galliano, but then his yuck behaviour is more recent. Nevertheless Vogue and Mail report that his rehabilitation for his illness is going well, and helped very much by his friend Kate Moss getting him to design her wedding dress despite the mean things said about him, and his punishment of a deferred good behaviour fine. That means he didn’t have to pay a brass razoo other than a token 1 euro.

      So what does the world think of the rich and powerful who behave badly. Tsk tsk. You think an article about one pathetic sod deserves this! My advice to her, claim to be ill, get some celebrity friends and PR people, claim to be a friend of the poor and underprivileged rather than one of the poor and underprivileged, and who knows what she might achieve. Oh and of course rehabilitation, perhaps National health will pay, though probably not for Arizona.

      I watched the video, what I think is worth focusing on is the woman who challenged her on behalf of the kids on the train, not herself. Britain can be proud of her, because it is very hard to challenge unpleasant or potentially dangerous persons, but the lady did it. Well done.
      The major interest of this story is the phenomenon of global interconnectedness and the strange triviality it can focus on, and the moral message, a brave woman who stands up to bullies.

    • James says:

      03:31pm | 29/11/11

      Let’s look at the bigger picture here, which is much more interesting.  Here you have an angry young woman without much of a formal education taking a bit of a risk, it must be said, mouthing off at people she sees as moving in on her patch.

      Why would she take this risk?  Is is because she is inherantly evil or is it because she realises deep down that a)  The game is rigged and those at the top will never let people like her move beyond her station b) The economic situation in the UK is deteriorating and that people at the bottom, like her, will feel the pinch first and hardest c)  Perhaps the people moving into her area do not consider people like her as being on the same team that she is on.

      Heaping shit on people at the bottom of the pile is just as vile and disgusting as racial prejudice.  Much easier to attack an easy target than admit the pile is there in the first place and admit that we really leave people like this woman to rot at the bottom of it.

      Funny how there is not similar outrage at the powerful folk in the finance industry busily destroying our society and way of life, perhaps becuase attacking people like that would take guts.

    • James1 says:

      03:44pm | 29/11/11

      Given that the people on the train with her also largely looked like they are on the bottom of the pile, by your standard this woman is doubly vile and disgusting.  Not only does she heap shit on people for having the temerity to not live in one country all their lives (the nerve of it!), she also heaps shit on the people at the bottom of society, and never once mentions that the finance industry is busily whatever else you said I stopped reading at that point.

    • Ros says:

      04:13pm | 29/11/11

      Well said James, I am surprised that Punch could be sucked into heaping shit onto some sad sod at the bottom, though today I am beginning to wonder. Maybe it is in the end just an elitist site designed to give the elite the opportunity to lecture the hoi polloi once again.

    • James says:

      05:14pm | 29/11/11

      No by my standards I would try and look at the bigger picture and see what it tells me.  It might be fun for you to join in the aggressive labbling of people but you have to wear the fact that it is hypocritical.

      I think you will find she says “Britain is suffing now”, Brittain and most of the world is suffering now becuase the greedy pigs at the top are looting our wealth and those at the bottom cop it the hardest when “austerity measures” are imposed. 

      The aweful truth is you will find people like this in any country in the world where there are a large number of very insecure people at the bottom and a heap of greedy bastards at the top, it suits the greedy bastards just fine that the little people fight each other, it is classic divide and conquer.

      So I suppose my point is you might like to ask yourself why is this person acting like this rather than join in the communal slagging off.

      James, I couldn’t follow your train of logic from “the rich are evil” to “it’s not her fault she’s a foul-mouthed racist cretin”.  Please expand on your proposition: how does poverty cause this woman to have septic tank where her brain should be?  You’re giving bleeding hearts a bad name.  I don’t find it defensible to kick the next bloke down on the pecking order just because you’re pissed off with life.  The easiest way for people like her to “move beyond their station”, as you put it, is not to have parents like her.

    • James1 says:

      07:33am | 30/11/11

      Occam’s Razor, James.  She is acting like that because she is the type of person who gets drunk, takes small children out while in this condition, swears and acts a fool on public transport, all the while thinking someone else is the problem.  She is at the bottom of the pile for very good reasons, some of which are demonstrated in the above film.  She is no different to that disgusting racist in Simon’s link.

    • James says:

      01:35pm | 30/11/11

      My point is this, yes she is abusive, maybe she is drunk (but to quote spinoza “drunken minds produce drunken thoughts”) but you are capturing someone at their worst posting them on the net and then having a sort of public stoning.  Even in a murder trial there are mitigating circumstances. 

      Why they rush to boot someone who is not very educated, obviously insecure and at the bottom of society, you are probably only aggrivating the situation and forcing this person to be more insecure, angry and extreme.

      I’ve had drunken Aboriginal people screaming racist abuse at me but my reaction was not to take video of them post it on the internet and slag them off, because I understand a) They are drunk b) they are angry (for good reason) c) they are insecure.  Pillorying them ain’t going help the situation.

      My point about the rich and powerful is, if you want to go to the heart of the problem go after them, they create the injustice and the insecurity.

      Where are Australia’s targeted sanctions against South Africa where white farmers are being murdered in what appears to be government orchestrated (third force) activity. These racially motivated, co-ordinated attacks which have resulted in torture before death has been classified as genocide by specific organisations such as genocide watch yet no articles covering this horrific racial abuse. I could explain some of the scenes to you but they wouldn’t post them on here because they are too shocking, so shocking you couldn’t believe humans could actually do that.

      Purely subjective, while I don’t agree with apartheid and the way people were treated, what you are speaking of did not happen in the lifetime of some of these businesses.
      These businesses are being targeted PURELY because the owner is white and no other reason.

      I am sure you enjoy stories where farmers have had their tendons hacked so they couldn’t get away, left there waiting to be slowly hacked to death.

      Genocide Watch labels genocide risk level six as “Preparation,” the stage just before level-seven “Extermination.” It is described in the following paragraph:

      Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity. Death lists are drawn up. Members of victim groups are forced to wear identifying symbols. Their property is expropriated. They are often segregated into ghettos, deported into concentration camps, or confined to a famine-struck region and starved. At this stage, a “Genocide Emergency” must be declared. If the political will of the great powers, regional alliances, or the UN Security Council can be mobilized, armed international intervention should be prepared, or heavy assistance provided to the victim group to prepare for its self-defense. Otherwise, at least humanitarian assistance should be organized by the UN and private relief groups for the inevitable tide of refugees to come.

      All I saw as I watched the video was an inarticulate idiot without the education to make her point. A point that a vast number of people feel in Britain, Australia and other countries that promote unfettered immigration and multiculturalism as a weapon to be used in class wars. Basically any modern western society that allows its ideals and normalcy to be swept away by a minority and denies its citizens the right to say no thanks.

      What is all the fuss about? She had a perfectly understandable if somewhat inarticulate response to the social destruction of the country that she grew up in. Although if she had been more articulate, then she wouldn’t have received the same amount of publicity, would she?

      Why should she be happy about the destruction of her country’s national identity, the deteriorating social cohesion and the increasing amount of police state controls that are needed to keep the tribal tinderbox from exploding? The last London riots were only a few months ago in August, have people forgotten already?

      It’s also true that her son will have a grim future, in a country where everybody gets preferential treatment except the white males whose predecessors built it.

      Just like every greatl empire throughout history, Britain rose to power as a monocultural society, whilst multiculturalism is the undeniable sign of a nation in terminal decline. The story is always the same, from the fall of Rome, the Ottoman empire, the Spanish empire and all the way through to recent history with the breakup of Soviet Union and the pending breakup of the USA.

      Multiculturalis is always enforced on unwilling people, and the people always choose to segregate as soon as they can, just like Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and even Sudan. Meanwhile Belgium is next on the list, if north and south Italy don’t break up first.

      No amount of globalist ideology and legislation can overcome human nature, and it’s natural for all people to prefer their own kind and their own culture.  Even the illegal immigrants who risk their lives to enter white countries (to be persecuted by evil racist white people), still end up forming ghettos of their own kind.

      It’s interesting that Muhammed Ali said it best before he was afflicted with Parkinson’s syndrome:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqiWFLsgVi4

      But what seems to be encouraged as cultural pride and strong community bonding for non-white people, is always portrayed as hatred and bigotry if whites ever dare display the same feelings for their own people, heritage or culture.

      And since when has Britain been a monoculture?  I’m sure the Scots would beg to differ.  As for your other empires, Spain’s decline wasn’t a result of multiculturalism, but America’s rise to power was.

      It’s amazing how often we are repeated asked to ignore criminal behaviour such as murder, rape and assaults from non white people as “unrepresentative”, yet it is apparently OK to judge every past and present English person based upon one frustrated person stating an opinion (which is now illegal in the British police state).

      If you tread your history books you will learn that the Spanish empire rose to greatness in the late 15th century, as a Catholic nation which expelled Jews, Muslims and Protestants (ie reducing cultural diversity). Its decline began 100 years later as immigrants from South American colonies returned Spain to multiculturalism.

      Same story with Britain, which rose to power after the unification of England and Scotland under one king in 1603. Gaelic Scots had already been suppressed, and the Protestant culture had become entrenched by the time the United Kingdom was formed 100 years later. WW2 weakened the empire, and its decline has accelerated since 1948 and the rise of multicultural immigration.

      The American founding fathers were all British white men, and the population was always over 80% white from foundation until 1990. It is now multicultural, and in obvious decline.

      Once again, multiculturalists have proven their ignorance.

      Greg,

      So Napolean, Britain and America had nothing to do with the decline of Spanish empire.It was multiculturism that resulted in their decline. Oh all this while I got my history wrong!

    • Greg says:

      02:56pm | 30/11/11

      VD, multiculturalism destroys social cohesion and unity, weakening a nation from within and making it vulnerable to external attack.

      Spain had her external enemies, just like the Romans had the Vandals, Goths & Huns. These empires had survived greater threats in the past, but didn’t have a unified population that gave the necessary strength to survive lesser crises once they had been infected with multiculturalism.

      So yes, it is time for you to go back to school, and pay attention this time.

      I know several people who think exactly the same thing.
      Racism is not an isolated phenomenon: it’s out there in every town and city, workplace and school.
      Anyone who thinks Australia is a haven a racial acceptance and tolerance has not been beyond their front door these last…oh, seventy years or so.

      Yet when other races come to Australian they form in enclaves, tell us we should convert to their religion and view of the world and this is somehow not racist?

      Hi Punch Team,

      Lovely mother & lovely language!!  I was truly impressed with the little boy though!!  Of course, there is a bit of hidden racism in most of us, but personally I have found this woman truly entertaining!!  Even though she might needs some lessons in geography as well minding her manners, in public places!!  And may be not!  A tram ride will never be the same for all the other poor souls around her!!

      There may be a bit of truth in what she says about England being her motherland!!  However, I just want to know if she is actually mixing medications or being her normal self!  If any one else in her place, behaved this way, “what would be the actual consequences”??  I really have found it interesting, may be she can a form a party a bit like Ms Pauline Hanson!!  This one is certainly an attention grabber!! Best regards to your editors.

      Not surprising when Zbigniew Brzezinski and the other NWO big boys have been planning this social implosion/destruction for about the last 50 to 100 years. It’s all about breaking down the english decended nations by removing it’s culture and traditional religion, etc., add the pil, violence and perversion to TV veiwing, allow illegal drugs to become common place, etc. Social engineering for the masses, according to the Huxley’s and Brzezinski’s then replace it with a immigrant populous of who do not believe in the english traditional culture or religion, but believe in the state as god!

      Yes bad behaviour, but the outcome of long planning by the NWO social engineers.

      It’s time that a far-right Government was put in place to sort this mess out! If the soldiers fighting for Britain against Nazi Germany knew this is what they’re country would have become - they would have laid down their arms and surrendered to Germany!!

      Yes I agree. If they knew they were fighting for the right the turn their country into a giant cesspool of humanity they would have said stuff this for a joke.

      The National Socialists at least mandated reasonable annual leave something Britain didn’t get around to for a decade so later, established a public health system that much of the western world has copied, built a system of roads that is in use to this day, and most importantly corrected the imbalances in the financial system/markets that has led many countries to where they are today. It did this by making capital markets beholden to the people of a nation rather than people just being the servants of financial markets like today.

      I think that his successful changes to the financial markets is what made many wealthy and powerful people so angry at Hitler. He took a nation from financial ruin with unemployment approaching 40% and made it one of the most prosperous country on earth in less than 7 years.

      Remember, a large majority of Austrians embraced joining Germany and it was only considered an invasion by the British and French as a stronger Germany was not good for them in any way. He was opposed to the policy of multiculturalism and wanted to keep his nation homogeneous and mono-cultural and for that he was branded a criminal.

      Other nations should have accepted his proposal to move all Jews to their own homeland and leave Germany alone to look after its own interests. Israel was wanted by the Jews as a homeland long before the 1930’s and fully supported by Hitler. Britain in particular was bitterly opposed to giving land to the jews anywhere. Churchill was always considered a fearful anti-semite.

      Hitlers real crime was being an upstart corporal from humble family who led his nation to success. What other country even tried to get every working family into a home of their own, or stated that every working family should have at least a 2 weeks paid leave at the seaside to recuperate. Not the UK nor the US.

      What absolute nonsense, people who are sent off to fight and die are nearly always sent off by power elites who whip up nationalism to hide the fact that they are robbing the people blind. 

      They send them overseas to fight so they don’t have an uprising at home.  It also doesn’t hurt their cause to make the little people fight each other so they can’t stand united against a tyrant.  Mubarack whipping up anti christian sentiment was the latest example of this.

      If you keep falling for the same old trick you will keep being sent off to fight pointless wars by psychopathic money addicted power elites.

      Oh please, as if rants like this do not occurr in our cities, I have been on public transport in a few of our cities and here white Australians bad mouth traditional owners, I have heard traditional owners bad mouthing white Australians. Migrants of other races bad mouthing others as well. This is not just in the uk but here too. Maybe not as recorded as this but try a train system at night and it happens. We can be just as nasty which is a shame. If England is motherland then the Aussie child is as bad and that is sad

      Watching this gave me an idea, how about we have a world wide campaign to substitute the word “f***”  with something else, say “sugar”.    The witless cretins who use the word constantly expose their own lack of education and inability to express themselves in a rational manner.

    • Dave B says:

      11:57am | 30/11/11

      This video has brought back some terrible memories for me that I’d chosen to forget. My mother was from ‘Madras’. Well educated & from a respectable Indian family she married my (English) father in 1952 & moved to London. Prejudice like this was just as rampant then. As a 6yo child in the early 60’s, I remember Mum taking me to see a children’s matinee, only to have the afternoon ruined on the way home when a bus conductor asked her “Are you a British citizen? You’re not are you!”. He wouldn’t let us on the bus & pressed the bell telling the driver to move on, leaving my mother & two young kids stranded. Sporting prowess assisted in a friendlier passage through my school years but that didn’t stop the jibes or constant stream of taunts from children & adults alike. Being the only coloured kid amongst 1200 pupils wasn’t easy, a couple of teachers even locked onto my nickname of “Chocolate man” (aka ‘The Black Streak during athletics). Shopkeepers’ would ensure that I was the last to be served, people would spit or shout abuse out of cars… I could go on but suffice to say the abuse strengthened my resolve to treat others with respect, stand on my own two feet & try to achieve to the best of my ability. I’m so glad to have come to Australia where ‘racial’ comments were occasionally ‘traded’ but never said in malice, just light hearted humour amongst friends from a rich mix of ethnic backgrounds - all of whom understand the scourge of prejudice. I can still laugh at some of the names used in taunts thrown at me during my ‘soccer’ years here in Oz: Abdul, Wog, Imran, Dago, Eyetie, Paki, Curry Muncher - no one ever got it right… I’m a Pommie Bastard who relishes his Indian heritage & still calls Australia home!

    • RyaN says:

      @Dave B: Clearly you have never lived in India then, if you want to see racism, check out your heritage for some of the vilest kinds of cast racism.

    • marley says:

      06:28pm | 30/11/11

      @RyaN - that doesn’t make what happened to Dave in England right.  Are you saying that we should all judge our own standards by the lowest standards around?

    • Dave B says:

      08:24pm | 30/11/11

      @RyanN: You’re making a very basic assumption. First of all, if you’re going to make statements about it, get it right - the correct spelling is CASTE & secondly the fact that it is an elaborate and complex social system that many of us don’t understand might excuse your comment, however I do have experience of life in India & I suggest that you think about the influence of foreign policy when you make such a rash judgement. I don’t know you, but I could assume that you are making an inflammatory & irrelevant comment designed to ‘stir the pot’.
      @marley: Thank you for applying some context to my post, although I must add that I’m not qualified to make comment about the “lowest standards around”.

    • RyaN says:

      09:14am | 01/12/11

      @Dave B: Fair enough spelling corrected. Being complicated does not in any way make the vile racism any better, nor does blaming it on something that happened well over two generations ago.

      @marley: Not at all, I do not approve of racism in any form, its vile and should be dealt with accordingly. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the comment directed directly towards white people only while clearly ignoring the fact that most of the worst kind of racists in the world today are not white.
      I lived in the UK also and I can tell you that I was a victim of racism on more than one occasion by persons of central asian descent. In Bradford and in London.

    • marley says:

      10:15am | 01/12/11

      @RyaN - what hypocrisy?  Dave is describing his personal experience with racism.  That’s all he’s doing.  If he had argued from that that only whites can be racists, I’d agree with you - but he didn’t say or suggest that.  He just described what it felt like to be a subject of racism.  That happens to Indians and Pakistanis in England, black in America, to lower castes in India, to Christians in Pakistan, to Tswana in Zululand.  It’s all wrong.  And the idiot woman in the clip was as wrong as any Brahmin snearing at a Dalit.

      The purpose of immigration into Australia is to make Australia less distinguishable from the rest of Asia over time so that it becomes easier to establish an Asia-Pacific Union to include Australia, similar to the European Union which is now in place despite widespread opposition.  This is the same purpose behind:

      > foreign ownership of Australian residential real estate
      > foreign ownership of Australian businesses
      > the recent attempt to relocate the stock exchange of Australia to Singapore as the future financial capital of this Asia-Pacific Union

      It was Kevin Rudd who explicitly pursued an Asia-Pacific Union to include Australia while he was Prime Minister of Australia.  Some six months after Kevin Rudd became Prime Minister of Australia at the end of 2007, he commissioned former ambassador Richard Woolcott to work towards the establishment of an Asia-Pacific Union based on the model of the European Union and to include Australia:

      http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/rudd-to-drive-asian-union/story-e6frg6no-1111116542913

      The end-game of what is happening in the world today is global government ruling over the blocs of a European Union, a North American Union, a South American Union, an African Union, an Asia-Pacific Union (including Australia) and other blocs covering areas such as the Middle East.

Hey, I’m still reminding them about little Jonny’s drop goal!
