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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
