Interesting only in that a Westminster MP draws attention to the difference in reactions to crimes according to who did it and to whom it was done, which is usually as verboten as it is obvious.
Condemn all racist attacks, says MP

Anti-racists have been urged to condemn attacks by black people on white people as quickly as they defend ethnic-minority victims. The call comes from Oldham MP Phil Woolas after what he describes as a spate of ââ¬Åsinister attacksââ¬Â last weekend by Asian gangs on white victims.
Today he said: ââ¬ÅHad it been a bunch of thugs attacking Asian lads it would have made national news. Both are equally as bad as each other."
The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP is writing to Home Secretary David Blunkett to ask him to confirm that Government policy is to condemn both forms of racist attack.
The outburst by a Labour Government whip, who is also Oldham East and Saddleworth MP, follows a weekend of four robberies and a spate of similar crimes reported to detectives.
Asian gangs robbed or attacked men on their 20s, 30s and 40s, and police are concerned that racially aggravated incidents are starting to rise.
Mr Woolas said: ââ¬ÅWhy was there no outcry? We have to be even-handed, otherwise the perception of the reality is distorted. I understand the concerns of people who believe that equality is a one-way street. Race-equality laws are very clear and politicians of all parties should be as quick and as strong in condemning racism against white people as we are in that against black and Asian people. What prompted me to speak was the very sinister attacks by young Asian gangs beating up white people."
He also pointed to reaction to the murder of taxi driver Israr Hussain in Lees.
"There were some people who immediately wanted to jump on the bandwagon, before establishing the truth and despite police advice, whether or not the motive was racist. All the facts would appear to be that the motive was, in fact, robbery, but they were quick to produce posters condemning a racist murder. My point is that there is no equal reaction if the motive is the other way round. If reaction is not even-handed, very deep resentments will only be exacerbated.ââ¬Â

Phil Woolas is an evil race traitor who deserves to be drawn and quartered. He is only saying this because there is very real possibility that a BNP candidate may take his job at some point. This is like when the republicans pretend to oppose affirmative action and mexican invasion. Don't think this guy is our friend. The BNP has the establishment running scared, doing and saying things they never would have two years ago.

I'm not so sure about the BNP electing MPs, the electoral hurdle is much higher than for local council elections.

Very true. It's possible that in the future they will move the establishment further in their direction rather than really breaking through electorally themselves.

Well in the last election in his district, Woolas got only 38% of the vote and Mick Tracy of the BNP got 11%. There will be at least four serious parties competing and a lot has changed since 2001. The BNP have proven that they are electable and not a wasted vote. The Labor party's support is collapsing. The BNP doesn't have to win a majority, only get the most votes.
The idea that we will be saved by pushing our enemies into coopting our posisitions is ridiculous. It's going to be victory or valhalla. The people who have sold us out in the past will do it again. Their power must be completely destroyed.

Condemn all racist attacks, says MP
The real message is 'all caucasians surrender your land, your city, your pubs, your schools, your children, your wives, your jobs to all that do not represent your morals, code of ethics, educational values, decency, honesty, and on and on and on....'

*Originally posted by rban@Aug 19 2003, 13:40 * ** Sounds good to me, except do not use the word Caucasian, please...use white or Euro origin... **
How about we use the term "all unintelligent Jew-Hndu mongrel trolls"?
