Re: Old Mags, Books and other things

A little while ago in one of the major newspapers over here, an "activist" stated that black people could not be racist.
Only whites fall into that category.
Not a peep from the mostly liberal media.
Unless we get this on an equal footing, us honkeys are toast.

One myth I recall, well its not a myth really, but in my youth the then Prime minister said "You've never had it so good" we went to school with the backsides hanging out of our trousers, cardboard to keep the wet off our feet, it never worked and we were not sure what we were getting to ...

The points system for immigration seems at face value to be a good idea, but if the only thing it does is bring in skilled tradesmen who will work for less than a British tradesman, how can that help. The "Polish Plumber" will be working and the British Plumber will be on the dole. Jobs cr...

A few comments about some of the venom on this thread. Scargill and Thatcher went to war. Regardless of who was right or wrong, Scargill lost. My dad hated Thatcher and had the proverbial bottle of booze that he was going to break open when she croaked. Unfortunately he's been dead for many years no...

Can they buy them over the internet ??
