Well perhaps Kiwi would post it again, so that we can all judge.

How about this one (Kiwi's post 34935), which I didn't call out at the time? Many would consider this racist, but I suspect you won't.

I saw it as a comment on the rise of the gangs which are a scourge. It wasn't having a go at all immigrants - just perhaps the yardie types, although one maybe two of those shown are white

Nope. Strolls is constantly at Kiwi because he doesn't like the right wing posts. Why? He has not proprietorship over the thread. If he doesn't like the posts, criticise them, don't keep having a go at Kiwi to stop him posting

I sometimes think I must be posting in some strange language that no one understands. You're quite right, I don't like Kiwi's right-wing posts, but I have never tried to censor them or stop him posting them. My main beef with them is that he just mindlessly copies and pastes without ever giving an opinion of his own, and that he insists on posting complete articles rather than links to them. You keep making stuff up, Goldie.

Fifties Britain - white and carefree. Current Britain - black and gang-ravaged.

If that was the case, why link it specifically to his "nasty world of right-wing propaganda" (your words). You're showing your bias when complaining about how he posts

Are you saying there isn't an issue with gangs in the UK, largely black and Asian? Black and Asian people are saying there's a problem, and young black men are often the victim of the violence

Yes, there is plainly an issue with gangs in Britain today, but is it specifically a black issue, or is it just criminal activity? Were there no gangs in Britain in the idyllic white 1950s?

Peaky Blinders, Razor Gangs, Krays and Richardsons, Mods & Rockers, Skinheads - these were all overwhelmingly white.
 
Okay okay okay
This thread is supose to be self moderated. You are now getting well beyond that stage with call and countercall of racism biasism, fakeism, cutandpastism etc. It is getting far too personal, cut it out. It would be a shame to close this page down after 1753 pages of lively discussion, but if you do not stop these personal attacks I am sure we would be happy to do that

Your political lines are very well drawn and you all know where you all stand. Respect those views because you are not going to change them.

Lets draw a line under name calling...it would be a shame to lose this thread, just when it all astarts to get interesting.
