You're the one with mixed race issues,not me.Perhaps you should explain them.
Only Kustard has claimed to understand what you meant when you mentioned "mixed race issues" and it's clear that he's only got access to the family brain cell for a few minutes a day. I don't know what "mixed race issues" are. Given you brought the phrase into the discussion it's really up to you to explain it. I suspect you can't as it was just a throwaway comment that you thought was an insult.

I'm proud to be mixed race. My kids are probably whiter than you (you must be turning yellow by now) but they're also proud of their heritage.

There's a whole world going on out there outside of your divorced, bitter, old white man community in Sussex! :afro: <laugh>

Aren't we all of mixed race? Baring in mind we've been invaded by the Romans, the Germans, Scandinavians, the French, the Dutch and others.
Wetty and Kustard can trace their lineage back to William the Conqueror.

Who was French (Kustard googles).

Of course you're right but some are too ****ing stupid to understand that.

But you did describe him as having "mixed race issues" and then avoided explaining what you meant by it when asked quite a few times.

What does "mixed race issues" mean? It's your phrase. Only the simpleton Kustard has latched onto it. Surely you can explain what you meant.

constantly accuse others of racism?

Why do you think I have ("some sort of" - I noticed the start of your back tracking) issues about being mixed race? I'm very proud to be mixed race. My whiter than you kids have been made fully aware that they have North African heritage and they are very interested in it.

The issues are definitely with you and your kind wetty. But it's your right to stick to your own and refuse everyone you find a bit scary access to your home (unless you turn it into a B&B).

ECB: Crisis knocked 10% off household wealth amid evidence of higher inequality

Amid concerns that growing inequality has emboldened populist and eurosceptic forces, the ECB said the overall distribution of wealth in the eurozone was “skewed” towards the richest.

The survey found that the median household – which separates the richer half of the population from the poorer half – owned net wealth worth €104,100 over the four-year period. This compares with €496,000 for the 90th percentile (the household that divides the poorest 90 per cent of the population from the richest 10 per cent).

Declining asset prices – led by property crashes in the likes of Spain and Ireland but spread across the continent from 2010 to 2012 – imposed the biggest hit to wealth in the period. Euro-area citizens are particularly exposed to changes in house prices, as over 80 per cent of household wealth is in “real assets” such as property.

Evidence of higher inequality following the financial crisis has been mixed. Global central banks have however been criticised for stimulus measures that have driven up the price of stocks and bonds through their quantitative easing measures.

One widely-cited measure of wealth inequality, the Gini coefficient, crept up to 68.5 per cent from 68 per cent in the eurozone, “within the margin of measurement error”said the ECB. It also found that the share of wealth concentrated among the top 5 per cent of rich households increased to 37.8 per cent from 37.2 per cent.

According to the Gini measure, a value of 100 reflects maximum inequality, or one household owning all wealth.

The poorest households also suffered the biggest average hit to their wealth. For example the 25th percentile suffered a 14.7 per cent hit while the 75th percentile’s net wealth was 10.2 per cent lower.

ECB president Mario Draghi has voiced his concerns about rising popular dissatisfaction with the eurozone, calling on EU integration to protect the most vulnerable.

“I do not think there will be significant progress in terms of opening up markets and competition if Europe does not listen to the demands of those left behind by a society built on the pursuit of wealth and power”, Mr Draghi said in September.

Fascinating stuff.
 
UK corporate finance chiefs shrug off Brexit fears

Optimism among the UK’s largest businesses reached an 18-month high at the end of 2016, as concerns about the short-term effects of the Brexit vote and worries about the global economy receded.

A new survey of the chief financial officers of major UK businesses has found that on balance, CFOs were more optimistic about their companies’ prospects compared with three months earlier.

This is the first time since the second quarter of 2015 that the net balance has been more optimistic.

Despite some pre-referendum predictions to the contrary, the UK economy has continued to grow steadily since the Brexit referendum. Output increased 0.6 per cent in the third quarter and early indications of activity in the fourth quarter suggest the dominant services sector has continued to expand. However, much of this has been driven by consumer spending, while business confidence has recovered less quickly.

“Buoyed by a backdrop of continued UK growth, CFOs have become markedly more positive on the outlook for their businesses and enter 2017 in better spirits than at any time in the past 18 months,” said Ian Stewart, chief economist at Deloitte, the consultancy that carried out the survey.

What did you mean by "mixed race issues"? You've been asked several times to explain that.

You've said previously that you prefer to associate with people of your own kind, hence my reference.

Do you often post drunk and make flippant remarks/forget what you posted?
