Default What Would You Do Women Dressed all in Black?

Interesting experience on the Bakelooo Line at the weekend. The
carriage had about 20 people in it, mainly scattered around. At Oxford
Circus two women (sans male escorts) entered one end of the carriage
and sat down. They were dressed all in black - like they do in Iraq /
Iran. They had the real slitty-eyed look. Well quite a few people
looked at them and then at each other and suddenly decided that they
really did not want to be sitting near them, and they moved towards
the other end of the carriage near where I was. Not that that would
have saved them in an emergency. One of two muttered "well you never
know do you?" I got off at Charing Cross, but noticed that by then the
two women had their end of the carriage all to themselves. What would
you have done? SB.

Perhaps you should vote UKIP at the next general election?

Well Enoch Powell did foresee "rivers of blood" if we let in all these
foreigners.
But of course he was said to be an idiot.
Its a shame he didnt live to see his prophesy come true.

The "Birmingham speech" is an interesting piece of oration, one that
should be read carefully and the various opinions picked apart and
considered.

My fav line is a the quote from one of his constituents that is
supposed to have inspired the speech: "If I had the money to go, I
wouldn't stay in this country".

Which is the quote that is always trotted out along with the 'Enoch
was right' line - of course the last 40 years have proved him
completely wrong -

Im sitting here in an outer suburb of a fine northern city, many of my
neghbours have different pigmentation to me, yet the streets are not
rivers running with blood, but usually running with children playing
football and neighbours bringing in each others wheely bins. They are
nice likeable children, and good decent neighbours.

And of course for almost all of us that is the experience of
immigration, that different skin colours dont automatically lead to
conflict ( and again showing that Enoch was wrong) and that is why the
right wing racists have changed their strategy and started saying that
islam is the issue not race.


Its pretty clear the two women in the original post have more to fear
from the mindset of the OP than he has to fear from them.

Indeed, the alien threat to the values of our society is that of the
Nazi BNP and EDL (and the waiverers in UKIP).

This remark was superfluous. Just make sure you can manage
to find Khrisong. Oh, yes, and the missing episodes. Yes.

He took his meals and passed his time at the end of the hill.

I don't think there would have been a general movement of people to the
other end of the carriage. I doubt most people would have registered
anything odd with a couple of 'slitty-eyed' passengers.

If they'd have been nuns would people have been so stupid? After all the
costume is much the same.
