It’s the fact that in the eyes of the political left only people with white faces do racism. I.e. if a black gunned down a Muslim / Arab family (or the other way round), you wouldn’t hear any mention of racism from the political left.<br /><br />The political left is as intellectually bankrupt as Cameron and Clegg. The only want the left can draw attention to itself is by being anti-white, anti-British, anti-West, etc.<br /><br />Just for a lark, I looked at three Guardian articles about Toulouse recently (total of 3,000 words) fully expecting the number of references to racism to be thin on the ground. The words racist and racism did not appear once!!!Ralph Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443857766263185665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741861999194728080.post-72288023113512627712012-03-29T12:56:47.417+01:002012-03-29T12:56:47.417+01:00Thanks.

Mind you, the other way round there tends to be more visible Islamophobia there and less here. <br /><br />But the long term trend of both kinds of racism is up, everywhere.Rob Marchanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534810369839848312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741861999194728080.post-30870217088457524152012-03-29T07:15:31.852+01:002012-03-29T07:15:31.852+01:00Excellent post.

The deficiencies so apparent in Europe are gaining momentum in the USA as the universities become the launching ground for the narrative that denies that Jews are still victims.oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741861999194728080.post-33503633861203283952012-03-28T13:12:19.136+01:002012-03-28T13:12:19.136+01:00@Damien: Jenny Tonge is mad, and her views at best...@Damien: Jenny Tonge is mad, and her views at best unpleasant. I am sure you've seen my various pieces on the PSC on this site, so my views on them are fairly clear. Mike Homfray I can't even be bothered to get into.<br /><br />@Ciaran: Wow.
