How about taking a leaf out of WAV's book and, instead of Walkabouts Verse, substituting the phrase "The Endless Drivel of a Racist Imbecile"?

C'mon...just admit it. You're all secretly delighted that you have found a closet racist to go after. It satisfies a deep inner need you have to know for certain your own righteousness by drawing comparisons to the despised one. A confirmation of your fine moral credentials. The best thing would be if a primetime TV show could be funded, along the lines of "All In The Family", with WAV playing the Archy Bunker role, and then the entire society could tune in weekly to laugh at how awful he is.

Archie Bunker (played with bravura by Carroll O'Connor—"Connor's own politics were liberal, but he understood the Bunker character and played him not only with bombast and humor,but with touches of vulnerability") was funny because you knew he was fictional.

When you meet a bigot in real life, he is not funny at all!

And he is not really a "closet racist." He's right out there in the open, telling us what he really wants the world to be like. Not only that, he wants the United Nations to enforce his view of what the world should be like (a place for everybody and everybody in their place).

But of course, like all racists, he denies being a racist.

Ah...but this is not real life, Don. This is the internet. The only way you'll ever find out what David Franks is like in real life is to meet him in real life and talk to him across the table and take some time about it. Until then we're all just blowing bubbles here as far as I'm concerned.

You want to find something REALLY obnoxious in the digital world to get upset about? Open up just about any video on Youtube about any song or subject whatsoever and read the "comments" section. There you will find a certain number of people who personally attack other people in ways so rude, vicious, and uncalled for...accompanied by such dreadful spelling, moronic hostility, and lack of good grammar...that a page or two of those comments may cause you to despair for the entire future of humanity.

David Franks is not a big problem, Don. He's quite mild in comparison to what the Net is polluted with. He's just a convenient problem for a few denizens of this forum who have decided to pursue him on a daily basis here until he either recants, commits suicide, or goes away.

And if he's doing it all for laughs....then what?

It's precisely because David Franks posts his stuff without moronic hostility, dreadful spelling and poor grammar (well, some of the time) that he's a problem. It's easy to deal with the sort of morons who clutter up the YouTube comment section - you just ignore them. But when someone like Franks comes on and starts making assertions they need to be countered, lest the morons out there take him seriously.
I don't think he's bright enough to be doing the whole thing as a wind-up, and I appreciate he might well see all these posts as slights to be endured on the road to martyrdom, but his absurd assertions (backed by the strength of four technical certificates) can't go unanswered.
I would far rather the Mudcat didn't have a racist in its midst, but as it does, and he's a thick-skinned and prolific poster, then he shouldn't go unchallenged.
I concede that it's a bit sad; here we have an unemployed nobody posting largely drivel, and around the world there are people devoting time to pointing out that it is drivel. If the clock were turned back 20 years then he wouldn't have his status as global village idiot, and it would be down to someone in his adopted home town to tell him to feck off and take his pencil away.
But this is the internet, and everyone's voice carries as far as the next person's even David Franks. And because this forum is - by and large - populated by reasonable folk, people like Franks risk gaining spurious credibility by association.
For all those who are tempted to misquote Voltaire on the right to free speech, I'd counter with Churchill (or even Mark Twain or good old Anon); "a lie can get halfway round the world before the truth has a chance to get its boots on."

I can understand Little Hawk's obvious disappointment here - all these years of hoping and praying for sentient, enlightened Extra Terrestrial Life and when one does show up, it's a gormless little shit like Wavy thus proving that there is no intelligent life out there... Australia? Balls to that! He's from Zeta 2 Reticuli - sent to earth to assimilate himself into English Culture, masquerading as an Australian Tourist-cum-Repatriate so as not to make it too obvious. I should have noticed it earlier - Zeta Reticuli is around 39 light years from earth, thus, when Wavy Zetan set off for England 11 years ago, his point of reference was, of course, the 1950s (taking into account the time it takes for radio transmissions to traverse 39 light years of cosmic vacuum, however so corrupted they might become en route). Not only does this account for Wavy's present confusion, ignorance and bewilderment, but also his general air of impotent anachronism manifest by his dress sense and comb-over. It also accounts for his totalitarian inhumanity and his confidence that one day Planet Earth will yield to his iron will...

"I have been published elsewhere. . . ."

Once—yet again!—you link to your own site, claiming that you have been "published elsewhere." That's hardly "published" in the usually accepted sense of the word. Pathetic! Hell, by that standard, I could put a sign in my front window and claim that I'm "published."

But I don't have to do that, however, because I have been published:   one article in Sing Out! Magazine some years back, and some sixteen articles in Victory Review. These are magazines that are printed and distributed to the public, containing articles that I have written which have been vetted and approved by editors. That's what is usually meant by the word "published."

So you don't consider yourself a racist despite your bigoted philosophy. You object to the presence in England of those dark-skinned people with their Jamaican, Pakistani, Indian, Kenyan and South African accents who have inundated your good English air with the smell of curry and other exotic aromas wafting out of restaurants, and who actually take jobs that you can't muster the ambition to go out an apply for because, after all, it's so much easier to live on the dole (that their taxes are paying for) and sit there at home playing your "English flute," and then you whine about how they are polluting your "good English culture." "Oh, they're perfectly nice people—in their own countries. But I don't want them living in my country!"

No matter how you slice it, that's bigotry.

And then you try to imply that I am bigoted because of a touch of whimsy ("Engrish frute"). They are not words I use in everyday conversation. It was strictly ad hoc, and it was a joke, in case you missed it. And I presume that you're trying to imply that my play on words with "didgeridoo" indicates that I am being disrespectful of Indigenous Australians (whom you keep calling "Aborigines," which many Indigenous Australians find patronizing and offensive). You'll have to explain how you came up with that, because it's certainly reaching for straws.

Regarding jokes making use of dialects:   Those who know me know that there is nothing racist or disrespectful about telling the occasional dialect joke, or about me. Many comedians base their humor on the use of dialects, and although I don't regard myself as a comedian, I am not above telling an occasional joke in appropriate circumstances.

I have a good friend of the Jewish persuasion from whom I have learned a fairly extensive repertoire of Jewish jokes, most of which incorporated or rely on the use of dialect. At a party when the jokes are going 'round, he will often ask me to tell a joke that I learned from him—because, despite the fact that I am not Jewish myself, I can do a better Jewish accent than he can!

Does that make me anti-Semitic? I don't think so!!

I also have a sizeable repertoire of "Lord Chumley" jokes that I learned from an English friend of mine, and I tell them with a fairly broad English accent. In fact, he and I sometimes did them together, with him playing Chumley and me playing Chumley's man-servant, Meadows ("Jolly good, sir! You got him on the rise!").

Does that make me anti-English. No, indeed! If our circumstances allowed, both my wife and I could live very happily in England and could be very easily persuaded to do so. But then, of course, we would be polluting David's "good English culture" with our barbaric American presence.

A good singer also needs to be a good actor. And actors assume accents all the time as an integral part of their art. And this, in no way, indicates that they are "racist" or are showing any disrespect whatsoever to the ethnic or national group whose accent they assume.

British actor Hugh Laurie (Bertie Wooster) is currently playing an idiosyncratic doctor in an American television medical drama entitle "House." He has assumed an American accent for the role, and he does it so well that most people who are not familiar with his previous work are unaware that he is English. Because he can and does affect an American accent, only a total horse's ass would assume that he is being bigoted or disrespectful toward Americans by doing so.

And by the way, whether I am—or anyone else here is—a racist or not has nothing to do with the fact that, by your own utterances, you have established beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are.

Don (who called a recorder made in Japan an "Engrish frute" and a famous Aboriginal instrument a "didgeridon't" before also falsely calling me - who has only questioned the act of immigration itself - "bigotted" and "racist", and also just tried falsely putting words in my mouth), the above link leads to a list of other publications in which my poems have been printed - which, if you wish, you can get to via the link below.

Poem 187 of 230: A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001

Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill's base.

Then (holding chips from the parade's cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth's hood.

I did it once but I was 16 at the time. Mea Culpa.
