Hey, be very careful you may be accused of making a racist comment.
Willy! I don’t think so!
Yes me and Prince Harry must have the same gene pool and Ken Livingstone, who called a Jewish reporter a “prison camp guard” is anti-Semitic, is that a form of racism, does that make him homophobic. Ken would find that a shock, considering he’s done more for the Gay community than any other politician.
FACT: If I had a huge number of female sexual partners and did not use some form of protection I would expect to have a high probability of STD the same would apply if I had the same with males. This is backed up by doctors, so nothing sinister there.
Talking about sinister, do you also know what I was doing last night?
Well Willy you certainly like to savage your victims don’t you!
Me and Harry Windsor glorifying Nazism- like the people of Padstow Devon celebrating Darkie Day longing for the return of slavery no doubt.( Irony). Or all my family relatives who fought Hitler flying Spits and Hurricanes and after the war my Fathers cousin who went to live in America designing and building missiles to help defend the United States.
The whole point of Livingstone was he did know the reporter was Jewish, that’s a fact, his argument was also with the reporters paper a sister paper of the Daily Mail who in the 1930’s backed the Black Shirts but at that time many people were worried by the rise of communism, Britain at that period had many communist organisations. Livingstone is still fighting battles long won and forgotten. I must confess the term racism does not worry me its been used so many times in the last ten to fifteen years usually to close down an argument and make people feel as guilty as hell, in an opinion pole recently the top concern was Immigration (70%), when people were interviewed and told it could be racist, they replied “then I’m a racist”. Look to Holland, a local mayor stopped the flying of the Dutch flag because it might offend Muslims; of course it created an outcry. So don’t box people in by calling them racist they might just jump out and give you a nasty bite.
(Just in case you didn’t follow that reasoning; just because someone says that Livingstone is a racist doesn’t make it true. ) Glad you accept that then.
The Royal family are better than me, maybe not better than you though, I accept many people are superior to me I can live with that. The equality argument is greatly flawed, all men created equal a flawed concept, you can strive for equality don’t let me stop you. I will always be better than the person who beats up an old lady and steals her money and not as clever as some lawyers who can turn the truth into a lie and a lie into a truth, but if I could do that, I wouldn’t, so that makes me better than some people. Facts and assumptions usually get mixed up or wrongly interpreted and your assumption that I’m a racist proves the point, but I am not offended by the accusation many of my betters are similarly accused.
I do not know of this Patrick Anderson who you continually refer to he must be quite famous for you to be in awe of him.
Uh, could you guys stop using this forum for personal attacks on each other? Thanks.

So much for free speech!
To be thrown off a blog at my time of life, with lots of children to support. Disgusting……..
Oh dear dear, it’s the shame and humiliation that worries me, not to mention the cost of counselling for punctured pride. I thought women were tolerant and understanding however power and jackboots and “You vill do as I say”.
Hi folks:
This is Farai Chideya, the founder of PopandPolitics. Jean is the editor and she's spot-on when she asks all y'all for civility.
Free speech does not mean you get to act like a child and throw a tantrum in someone else's forum. If you want full-contact, gloves-off, start your own blog and invite people to post nasty things about you. If you really want to champion free speech, do something to support Sunshine Sunday.I love Blogger, I do. But this platform offers us limited options in terms of making sure people who have something to say say it and people who don't don't... at least not on our time.
If we can't play nice in the sandbox, we will take the sandbox down until we can build a better sandbox using different technologies. We can always make this blog a no-comment blog, where you have to be a member in order to post.
We don't want to do that. We want the most vigorous intellectual and cultural discussion we can, with a minimum of ego-tripping.
I'm appealing to the members of the community to make sure we can keep this place as open as possible. I believe in this blog, these discussions, and the people who make it happen. Any "wannabe" editors out there are people who poop in someone else's sandbox and expect us to clean it up...

I agree with you Willy.
