WHO'S YER DADDY?!! wrote: I'm loving this one: the sallow, onion-faced c*nt's drunk on power, not to mention white wine when this happened: http://today.reuters.co.uk/News/news...storyID=2005-0 2-11T132847Z_01_HOP148445_RTRUKOC_0_BRITAIN-LIVINGSTONE.xml Please let me know if you hear anything about it on the BBC: I saw nothing on BBC TV London News (Ken Is Buddha to them of course) ROBBIE Since everything Ken does is shot down by the evening standard (such as the congestion charge, tube and bus prices, etc.) he probably feels that someone in the Standard has a grudge against him. The concentration camps were set up because Hitler had a grudge against Jewish people. Lets compare an Evening Standard reporter to a Concentration camp guard. Now do you see why he said it? No. It was ****ing peurile. Worthy of a 17 year ol drunk in the student union. The Standard was right behind him becoming mayor. Probably a bit harsh but when the newspaper with the monopoly on evening reading in London is always against anything you do you must be able to see how he feels You obvioulsy don't read the paper. ROBBIE 'Why can't people know something before opening their gobs.' |

Steve Another 17-year-old! Yes The Daily Mail was pro-fascist in the 30s as was its famous foreign correspondent in Ethiopia, the greatest English Novelist of the 20th century Evelyn Waugh. Most people were up for appeasing Adolf until May 1940 when glorious Winston Churchill finally disabused these ******s--including the King-- of their appeasing ways. You, like Livingstone, probably clam up when you think about how a tory had the vision to fight fascism to the end. However, back, as you say, to modern day the Mail does *not* have a history of 'constant attacks' on minority groups; it has a policy of attacking certain *attitudes* to minority groups. ROBBIE |

Churchill had also been a Liberal. |

What a stupid remark! At least when Livingstone made the concentration camp guard remark he had the excuse of being drunk. Whats your excuse? |

He isn't, AFAICT, but his comment certainly was racist - he only said it because the reporter was Jewish. But it's unlikely many people will hold his comments against him for long. The thing about Ken is that his mouth is so big that he can get away with putting his foot in it occasionally! |

As far as I can make out he simply used the camp guard jibe as a comparator because the reporter (who hasn't been criticised AFAIK) was "only following orders". What is "racist" about that? |
