Are you really arguing that an insult that only applies to a subset of a race is no longer consider a racist insult?


That's quite a claim. Are you a defence lawyer for the EDL? "No, no, your Honour - my client was only referring to those actually wearing a burqa..."

No argument or defence from Loz against the fact that everyone disagrees with him, I note, just insults. It's richly ironic that someone who acts round these parts like a more erudite version of the Daily Mail, excoriating "Guardianistas" and "political correctness" in general, immediately starts whining and insulting people the minute his own demographic is on the receiving end.

Thanks for link johnl, when legal proceedings take years like this, there should be transparency, where the public especially people who were personally involved can follow what the findings are. I was unaware of this enquiry until lushs campaign. Have read a little of link, clicked on a link within it where some papers of findings had restricting circulations when published.

Spectacular lack of self-awareness there, Loz. Well done.

(Is it sexist then?) There are plenty of rage-filled ranty men and women out there of all races- David Lammy is a good example


As far as the undercover cops are concerned- anyone who is undermining decent society by breaking the law and putting young people in danger DESERVE to be infiltrated if that's what gets the job done....and, of course, WE demand that the job gets done!

You sound more and more like Oswald Mosley with every post.



ETA - if you had half an ounce of awareness, you?d know that NOBODY has objected to the principle of undercover work. That?s a straw man set up by you alone.


What they had trouble with was the lies told by police officers in the course of that work and the extent to which the Met tried to cover it up afterwards. This isn?t about covert operations per se, it?s about the trustworthy ness of the police.


You once said you only read Private Eye. If so then you should be more au fait with the highly questionable police antics in these cases.

The far right are becoming more and more emboldened every passing day, they're not even bothering to try and dress up their nastiness any more. Storm's a-comin'.


What a coincidence that of all the "rage-filled ranty men and women out there of all races" uncle should choose to name one of Britain's most famous black men.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
