They maybe regard the real threat as someone else<BR/><BR/>And remember WW2, the one where we 'had' to fight to save them. Its worth looking into how many Europeans (of a certain ethnic/religious background) who found their way to Palestine during WW2 decided that the best way to defeat Nazi Germany was to join the Jewish underground and fight the British. Im sure we couldnt quite work that one out at the time either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-16582265528984409612007-05-28T21:50:00.000+00:002007-05-28T21:50:00.000+00:00Ethnies, Laban ... competing ethnies.

Well, I'm not a big Bush fan, but I'd rather have him round for tea than ol' Hooky from Finsbury Park...I don't THINK Bush was behind the July 7 bombings (although I've often wondered about how much Tony and the Israeli ambassador and Peter Power<BR/>(try http://julyseventh.co.uk/july-7-timeline.html)<BR/> Wor Jeanette, now. Eeeeeee. I've noticed that a few "professional Northerners" are starting to sound like Gracie Fields on speed. Actressy types boast that RADA didn't wash their delightful Northern accents out of them, but a few of these folk sound as if RADA was where they learnt such things. Apparently radio listeners are being seriously distressed by Ruth in "The Archers". Funny how it's OK to pose as a provincial, a reet Northerner,and sing: <BR/> "Thor wes lots o' lads an' lasses ther, all wi' smilin' fairces,<BR/> Gawn alang the Scotswood Road, t'see the Blaydon Rairces" <BR/> implying that such an approach lends realism and authenticity to whatever PC opinion you wish to utter and then to pour scorn on anyone who wants to speak merely as an Englishman and to stand up for his kin! I suppose it's that "gritty Northern realism" that used t'be all t'rage on t'owld Third Programme. (There's a vague joke hovering somewhere in the back of my mind about the Black Dyke Mills Band: better not go there!)<BR/> I thought Hay must have been taken over by Respect members for the day. Perhaps our wee Georgie G. was in amang t'foak, like: didn't sex-change pioneer April Ashley settle there too?<BR/>Yes, the Germans HAVE got it right about the Green approach. They fine you a bundle if you put a can in the paper bin: then,as "Observer" says, the plastics go off to poison the Chinese. I'm reminded of the incredible proliferation of Hanging offences that swelled the Statute Book in the Napoleonic period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-66081174775377869622007-05-27T12:19:00.000+00:002007-05-27T12:19:00.000+00:00At one stage she pointed out that the Germans recy...<I>At one stage she pointed out that the Germans recycled a far greater percentage of their waste - therefore we could do it.</I><BR/><BR/>They also incinerate a lot more too.<BR/><BR/>Their recycling is subcontracted to China in many areas like plastic bottles, used PCs etc - they are shipped in containers from Hamburg to China or Nigeria and dumped<BR/><BR/><BR/>The woman is right - she is a dim working-class moron from AccringtonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-30243244556882182892007-05-27T11:50:00.000+00:002007-05-27T11:50:00.000+00:00Thanks for the link, did you notice how much more ...Thanks for the link, did you notice how much more northern Jeanette Winterson started sounding as soon as she started talking about Blackburn?Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263275229285861236noreply@blogger.com
