Convicted thug in racist outburst

Councillor Alf Garnett | 29.01.2008 12:27 | Migration | Birmingham

Birmingham City Council's Housing chief, Cllr John Lines, reveals himself, once again, to be a thick racist.

Lines is quoted in today's Guardian as saying:

"Some scallywag, some scumbag can jump on the back of a lorry, come over under the tunnel and never expect to work a day in his [expletive] life. And if he's been here for a time waiting for a decision, we give him automatic British citizenship. The world's gone [expletive] mad."

Now I don't know how anyone else might define a "scumbag": but I reckon the term could failry accurately be used to describe a man who waits mob-handed in a car park to batter a barman purely because time's been called.

The world truly has gone [expletive] mad.

Councillor Alf Garnett
