Election 2005

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was reduced to near-incoherence by Jeremy Paxman last night as he admitted he has now idea how many illegal immigrants are in this country. The Premier was asked no fewer than 20 times to give a number-but ducked and weaved as he failed to do so. Sounding increasingly desperate, he insisted that speculating about numbers was "pointless". Yet one of the Governments own experts recently estimated the total here as 500,000-though his findings were suppressed by the Home Office.

Whilst Michael Howard..

...he wants your votes. And he wants to suck your blood!

No he does not!

No shit sherlock You mean we won't see Howard sucking blood from the voters?

..or do you mean that he doesn't want votes....

Political Correctness does not lead to insanity. Political Correctness is insanity.

You don't appear to have answered my question about the dyslexic tendancies of a senior member of your chosen party, Ross.

Avoiding the issue, or question too difficult?

Political Correctness does not lead to insanity. Political Correctness is insanity.

So we should go back to calling people:

Disabled : Spastics
Asians : P**I's
Blacks : n****rs

Give women less money than men, etc, etc.

Answer :NO

I agree some political correctness (baa baa black sheep, black coffee, etc.) is a load of bollocks but the above mentioned were justified acts of political correctness been used

BTW I blocked out the racist words as everybody knows what they are & there is no need to write them in full, Apologies if that offends anyone.

Pakis and Niggers you mean?

No, that's common sense, not political corretness. There's a difference between plain rudeness and percieved insulting terms.

He's basically saying that Politcal Correctness is Insanity, & the BNP say in lose terms that political correctness has gone mad in this country even though we know what they are like.

Of course I'm not saying that about Ross Revenge at all, just to clear that up.

I absolutely hate those three words that are listed & think they are disgraceful. I especially dislike when people of those ethnic gorups call each other those terms as a term of enderment. I don't call fellow white people a Honkey & wouldn't expect them to do the same.

Reading back - where did that quote actually come from? It seems to have just been said randomly. Was it from that cheap BNP advert last night? I only saw the first quarter before getting bored. I wanted to see some lame excuses for kicking foreigners out of the country.

WHat Ross Revenge wrote or what I wrote???

Has anyone else noticed the extreme difference in the way two shortened words in the English language are handled?

Anybody here want to complain about the word "Scot"? A shortened version of the word "Scottish". A description of someone's roots, where they come from, where they're probably proud of. Still nobody moaning? No, thought not.

The word "Paki" is short for "Pakistani". A discription of someone's roots, where they come from, where they're probably proud of.

Over to you!

I think in the case of paki it was because it was never used in a joking way like jock, paddy, taff or yanky, it was used in such an derogitory way & was used also for people who came from India, Bangladesh, etc.

However I knew kids in my school who would be up in arms if a white or black kid called them a paki but called each other pakis, which in fact is hypocritical.

Idiot head's PC comment (that's Ross Revenge for clarity)

I always think it's odd as one often sees "come on the pakis" type banners at the cricket.

It's kinda like gays calling each other gay except when it's directed at Ison cos he's just gay.
