Our government has demonstrated its hatred and disrespect for Islam, by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and soon Iran and Syria and also supporting the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. So it becomes apparent that a religious/race-war is at the forefront of their agenda.

After decimating their homelands with cluster bombs and making it uninhabitable with depleted uranium, the government controlled media has launched a pre-emptive strike on the dispossessed, seeking refuge in this country.

Foreign immigrants are already practically synonymous with terrorists, but by inventing statistics and scaremongering over T.B. and H.I.V., asylum seekers can now be blamed for “sexually transmitted” epidemics, with all the connotations that holds and the deterioration of Public Services.

This mass conditioning should trigger an immediate backlash from those who still believe what the government and news media says and refugees, after all they have been through, will bear the brunt.

The fabric of our society and quality of life is not being undermined by the occasional Somali family moving in next door, but it is being threatened by propaganda, intended to foment racial divisions and a summer of discontent.

'foment' is right

And with an Alf Garnett-style bigot Home Secretary as jeer-leader. Now where's the Cherie Booth connection?
I think your whole tone is right.I'm sure the powers that be and their tools in the media seek to promote civil unrest in order to produce the solution of further deep encroachments on civil liberties, or what tatters there are left if current legislation were to be fully enforced, and to enable the police and intelligence services to focus their attacks on specific racial cultural and political groupings and communities.
The Bradford riot of course provides a model of how higher level police strategy, with a little help on that occasion from mini-Nazi thugs,can manipulate a riot into being, and cheerfully produce very long sentences for participants

What about Phil Woolyarse?

11.06.2003 22:24

With his recent land-grab for BNP territory, highlighting Asian-on-white racial attacks in Oldham, Woolyarse must be part of this bullshit.

I last saw the cunt standing on top of a bus shelter during the student grant demo when we blocked Westminster Bridge in 1980-something (it's all a blur, now), pointing out interesting targets to the coppers up there with him. It was me that started the sit-down, btw - to stop the Glaswegians from the SWP starting a ruck that we'd all lose.

Fuck Phil Woolyarse and all who sail in him.

How obfuscating can you get?

Gee I remember that one brian!

Perhaps it was a great day - memory fails me also, but I can remember that it wasn't just glaswegians that were 'up for it'! Some of my wee small feminist friends at the time were truely frightning that day!

Had some experience of this wooly guy too - deeply dodgy fucker, we were all of the opinion that he was plod too.

It seems that its the old job of divide and conquer yet again - when will they learn ...

Fuck the bnp - they can't skirt around the bushes avoiding the wrath of the people forever, they will attempt to 'prove' themselves soon with a major show/march ... that might be a 'great day out' too!
