Fuck, what am I doing here on a Sunday morning? Talking of BNP assholes, anyone read the totally unfunny (embarassingly unfunny) TV column by Charlie Brooker in the Guardian yesterday:

Poach Trisha from ITV and lock her in a windowless room full of clueless council estate scumbags

This cunt Brooker better pray he never runs into me - don't try it! But seriously, this kind of repulsive snobbishness seems acceptable among the "middle classes" these days, even in a liberal rag like the Guardian. Cunts.

perhaps Mr Brooker has encountered people on a council estate before that he felt were scumbags based on their attitude and behaviour - a horrible generalisation is sadly implied but otoh it's not a big leap, certainly not for the purposes of the 'joke' at hand. i agree too much about locking Trisha away to find it that offensive.

Hey, I like her.

Backtracking a bit to the Sightbill asylum seeker discussion, a point that seems to have been missed is that there was a large amount of very cheap, empty housing available in the Sighthill/Springburn area because local residents would rather have stayed on the waiting list for something nicer than go into the tall flats (not surprising - although they've been done up a bit on the insides, the outsides are covered in supposedly pigeonproof netting and caked-on shit from the birds that made it through to roost on the balconies and when it rains the car park turns into a lake).

As far as I'm aware, there is not such a surplus of accommodation in Milngavie.

Anyone who appears on Trisha gives their demographic a bad name or risks appearing a cornholio prolio - it's kind of in the rules.

Madchen, it's always amazed me just how urgently needed and desirable high-rise flats suddenly become, usually by people who've turned down similar housing, when asylum seekers move into them.

three weeks pass...

We got one of those B|\|P leaflets through the door with all the other election rubbish, the irony of it did not escape us….

As for the Royal Mail delivering this crud, well that’s the biggest irony of all, if only they’d done that last time around!

I think it is a huge worry that racism seems to be on the increase thanks to Blunkett/ tabloid fueled paranoia about immigrants. It also, on the flip sides, puts the liberal press on the defensive meaning that ANY sort of valid debate about issues regarding religion (be it the suppresion of women/ circumcision et al) gets thrown out the window as taboo. So no one wins.

Stelfox and Mark C = perfect additions to a Calum thread

Can we bump Carmody's "I was watching videos of black men being lynched the other day, and that happened to remind me of Stelfox" thread?

Ah, everything was overheated by then!

How are these clowns doing in Barking btw? Anyone seen any polls on that constituency?

According to...ahem...a Daily Mail article by Peter Oborne - "Local opinion polls show that BNP leader Nick Griffin stands an excellent chance of unseating veteran Labour MP Margaret Hodge". Don't know where he's getting his info from though.
