As you may have noticed, I am not in the habit of responding to people with a plank in their eye concerning Pikeys. I want to make it clear that at no point have I ever made a derogatory comment against anyone of a different skin tone to myself.

I totally deplore the remarks made by Keith A of Hereford against members of the Pakistani community living in Britain, most I know work a 12 hour day. I have nothing but respect for the Chinese community, they work dammed hard and take more abuse than anyone I know from weekend John Waynes who can't hold their alcohol.

My old man went in on the first wave of the D Day landings, landing on Sword Beach. He took a piece of shrapnel in his right shoulder from a German 88mm.So you can imagine my views on bloody Hilter.


Right, back to Pikeys, I don't talk out of the side of my mouth on this or any other subject, like one or two here in the stroke brigade. If it needs said, I say it.

Like it or lump it, I say it as I see it.
