To be disappointed by mumsnetters

[CaptainBirdseye]

ok it's late on Sunday not the best time to get a debate goinging, however my post about the BNP dropped like a stone off active cons with no reply. Are people so caught up in their narrow worlds that racism can slip through so easily unnoticed?
I thought that although the march wasn't relevant to many that the news story might get some debate going

I will be going to this demo against the BNP I feel they should be opposed at every stage. Thought I'd post on here incase any local MN wanted to come too.
The message board for this local rag seems to have draw alot of BNP support so if you want to balance the arguement please post your feelings

I think you'll find the clue in the name Tena

no gollies on Marmalade or jam now either.

gollywogs??? you know what 'wog' is a pejorative term , no? how odd

Wog, lol, Ive only just got it!

and that is funny , how??

sheltered life you see!

Its funny that I have only just realised why it was banned with the wog connotation

guess you;ve never been on the reveiving end of racism or anti semitism then tenalady....

BNP = baaaaaaaaaad. Obviously.

I cant be arsed to debate it - b/feeding and weaning is my 'area'.

But of late, quite frankly I cant be arsed to have a discussion with anyone about anything.

thing is, i didn't know that wog was a racist term, we had gollies as children and i had no idea why they disappeared until recently

No I guess not. My best friend is black, I have two nephews who are mixed race and I have witnessed some unpleasantries from hairy arsed builders driving past shouting abuse of a racist nature.

VVVQV..oh sweetie, why so??

well, you have learnt something today then !

Thank you Ellie, I am not alone then?

i think it really does depend where you grow up, rural suffolk has never given me the misfortune to experience racist behaviour and so i had never heard the term

JoolsToo that what gets me the apathy I can't believe the seat was uncontested I don't know Corsham and Rudloe but there must have been someone other than BNP supporters who realised what was going on and what the outcome would be ??

Well, threads like this for starters. Sideways looks and snidey comments. Its not about talking or discussing on here atm.

Well, at least Captain has apologised....and I can see how the story would make someone's blood boil......but the rest of the threads rise and fall in quality all the time.....you know this..

and..

{{{{hug}}}}

uuuuggghhhhhh...my first cyber-hug.....v. pervy.

VVVQ...please don;t go too...not with Hunker taking a break too....
