Now, there's not a lot to say about this case that MummyLonglegs hasn't already said, but the sheer bloody cheek of this one sentence alone deserves even greater emphasis:
‘I’ve always been proud to be British but I feel that something has gone very wrong in this country when political correctness comes ahead of basic common sense.’It's the Britain you and your ilk in the left-wing progressive movement created. It's a wee bit late to turn around and say 'What? Me? No, no, it's not supposed to be me...!'
‘I was proud to be a member of the council because I wanted to be a role model to young people from minority backgrounds,’ she says.You were, love. That's just the problem, though; you were a role model for how chippiness, grudge-holding and waving your supposed trump card in Victimhood Poker was the way to win.
And you relished it right up until the time someone else laid down their own hand and said 'That beats yours, doesn't it?'
It's interesting ot see what sparked her anger that led to the "coconut" incident- another councillor had objected to spending £750 000 to make up for Bristol's role in the slave trade- which ended in 1807!
ReplyDelete£750000 on that, but they no doubt they are first in the queue complaining about having to cut services because of the dreaded cuts.
“In our culture we have a word for you, and I am sure many in this city would understand ‘coconut’.”
ReplyDeleteA very telling phrase - She's saying that in 'her culture' there is a widely-accepted derogatory term describing a non-white person who has anything in common with what a white person might think. Doesn't sound as if she has much intention of integrating with anyone outside 'her culture' does it?
"You were, love. That's just the problem, though; you were a role model for how chippiness, grudge-holding and waving your supposed trump card in Victimhood Poker was the way to win.

Fantastic piece of writing, you've absolutely nailed it.
"Doesn't sound as if she has much intention of integrating with anyone outside 'her culture' does it?"
I'm sure, if voted on, most Brit's would be more than happy to pay for sending people like her straight back to which ever backward shit-hole country they or their descendants escaped from.
Hoist sky high by her own petard!
ReplyDeleteWhat delicious irony.
Christ, wait until these people hold the levers of power. At local and national governmental level, in the NHS, in the civil service, in the police and other enforcement agencies. When all those institutions are led (and in proportion largely staffed by)a generation of hostile, resentful, motivated-by-historical-grievance BME's,only then will we truly know what a rod has been prepared for our backs.
ReplyDeleteNeither of them is of any interest, we would be better off without their contribution.
ReplyDelete"Oh Noes! The rules apply to me too! But only White people can be racist not Meeeeeeee! Poor little Meeee!"
ReplyDeleteAs a white man who was the victim of a racially motivated attack and told by Greater Manchester Police Farce that it was a civil matter. It is nice to see that, for once, the Law is applied equally. Despite her opinion that "All People are Equal, Some People are more Equal than others".
Oh Dear. How Sad. Never Mind.
Try growing up.
Snork !!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that article was in the Wail!
ReplyDeleteThe law of unintended consequences strikes again.
ReplyDeleteAnd another 'racist crime' has been committed.
Now whenever you read about 'racially aggravated offences in the crime statistics, you will know that they do not all refer to some drunken white skinhead putting the boot into someone.
"£750000 on that, but they no doubt they are first in the queue complaining about having to cut services because of the dreaded cuts."
ReplyDeleteOh, of course!
"A very telling phrase - She's saying that in 'her culture' there is a widely-accepted derogatory term describing a non-white person who has anything in common with what a white person might think. "
Yup, and it's not like that sort of attitude is holding back Afro-Caribbean children at school, is it? Oh, no, it's all because of teh racisms...
"Fantastic piece of writing, you've absolutely nailed it."
Thank you!
"Christ, wait until these people hold the levers of power. At local and national governmental level, in the NHS, in the civil service, in the police and other enforcement agencies."
ReplyDeleteLots of them already do!
"I cannot believe that article was in the Wail!"
Me neither. Surely the 'Guardian' or 'Indy' would have been its natural home?
"Now whenever you read about 'racially aggravated offences in the crime statistics, you will know that they do not all refer to some drunken white skinhead putting the boot into someone."
Good point!
I prefer "eggplant".
ReplyDelete“In our culture we have a word for you, and I am sure many in this city would understand ‘coconut’.”
ReplyDeleteAnd in certain circles if you use the word ‘cocoon’, folk would assume you have a stutter.
How's that sit with you, love ?
I think there is an added layer of irony being missed here.
ReplyDeleteThe story seems to assume that the victim is the Asian who is dubbed a "coconut", but that surely is deeply racist in itself; it assumes that to be associated in any way with the thinking or attitudes of a white person is an insult, but a black person thereby offended is racist themselves.
Shouldn't Ms Jethwa be prosecuted for thinking racist thoughts about white people?
