"And yet, Jim on another thread you indicted 'the good people of Lewes' for the actions of a few."
I indicted those who watched it happen without doing anything about it - those who added their own happenn'orth to the proceedings - the organisers of that event and the police who could have, but didn't prosecute bcause what happened wasn't serious enough.
I could have added, those who carried an effigy of the news reporter who gave Firle a bad press, in the Lewes parade the following year.
Not forgetting the Mudcatter who suggested that there was a "reason" for what happened - there can never be a "reason" for such behaviour - not given the situation of Travellers in these islands.
I go along with Fred's description of the sectarian behaviour that goes on down there - we have similar demonstrations coming up in the (British Province of) Ireland shortly - just when we thought it was going to be safe to get back into the water.
I don't blame the people of Lewes, Sussex, or the South of England - I blame the fundamentalists - just as I do the Islamic fundamentalists.
"but majorities can be swayed when the climate moves in their instinctually"
Then you have to give a reason why such a thing might happen giving the present situation - and you have to give an opinion on what should happen instead of your "nuffin to do with me guv" stance.
We know what is likely to happen if Farrago and his (now established) 'Narsty Nazis' have their way.
Lovely cartoon in the Sunday Times this morning showing a B.N.P. member with a begging bowl with a note saying "Put out of a job by Ukip".
You are a middle-class version of Alf Garnett Mike; I suppose its too late in life for you to hunt out the sandwich board the old feller in Oxford Street used to carry saying "The End of the world is nigh".
I get more waves of hate from you and yours than I ever did from my Muslim, black and Irish neighbours all rolled into one
A bit of a disgrace really
