  1. The relentless and constant promotion of white female/non-white male relationships in ads is sickening… the constant portrayal of non-white men as doting dads, good spouse material, attractive, capable, competent, and loyal is very obvious. The constant featuring of mixed-race kids too, and the fact that any time an ad or programme requires a boorish, incompetent, stupid, unattractive character, that character will be portrayed by a white male. Who's driving this? Look at who is in charge of the majority of ad agencies. The BBC is as bad though. I happened to see a trailer for the Cbeebies panto-style production of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"… Guess what? Juliet's white, Romeo isn't. There are myriad other examples.

  4. We're in the same boat, as it were, soon to be minorities in the nations our ancestors built, hated by the unworthy.

  8. Things like that happen to everyone, regardless of colour. In my workplace I have seen managers hiring their friends and people they have secretly been in relationships with. I've seen them cover up for their friends' failings, and support them in grievances against people who didn't deserve it and pass over people for promotion who did, in order to favour their sycophants. And this was in an institution that supposedly had HR procedures to prevent such abuses. It happens frequently, sadly to people of all colours. If it's happened to you it's a shame, but it's happened to me too. It is highly likely that colour had nothing to do with it.

  9. Our political class are so racist they couldn't give a toss about that.

  10. A few contribute economically, but many don't. This lie about us all being better off because of immigration is just that, it's cherry-picked stats talked about by people with a vested interest in seeing our nation crumble. Immigration really only benefits big business and the rich, the rest of us see our quality of life negatively impacted by it in many and various ways, particularly working class people.
