Dear All
Politics in some sense is all about perceived reality and political gain.
I therefore find it of no surprise that the Labour Party should state that “being black or Asian in the UK no longer means you will be automatically disadvantaged”.
But!
How many Black and Asian Principals are there as Heads of old Universities?
How black and Asian judges are there?
In making the statement regarding black and Asian people, Communities Secretary John Denham is playing to the crowd, that crowd is the people who will be voting BNP.
Denham goes on to say that while racial discrimination still existed, disadvantage was now more linked to poverty, class and identity.
In other words the focus is now being shifted towards the problems of white working-class because the Labour vote has collapsed due to their disastrous immigration policies.
The UK Labour Government has by inaction breed a hard core anti ethnic vote in the English white working class, taken for granted time and time again these people have moved towards the extremist political party, the BNP.
The white working class have and feel abandoned.
Denham’s Department for Communities has earmarked £12m to look at entrenched social problems in 130 predominantly white working-class areas.
This money is a drop in the bucket; it won’t even cover the cost of a mediocre PR campaign.
The UK Labour Government has fuelled racism.
If the Labour Government was serious about tackling the problems of the white working class they would have
1/ been having EU wide talks on quotas to restrict the numbers of economic migrants coming into Britain.
2/ restricted the number of migrants from other non EU countries by quota.
3/ they would have rounded up and deported illegal immigrants.
4/ closing down the bogus Colleges racket.
5/ reformed the DWP properly.
These are just a small number of issues which all add up to a sense of grievance.
At the next General election, the BNP in the shape of their leader Nick Griffin might return a BNP MP to Westminister.

I expect the BNP vote to rise to some degree, the BNP are riding on the crest of a wave from their two seats at the European elections, they are presenting themselves as mainstream and it is working.
Attacks on Nick Griffin only increased his support and so did verbal attacks such as from black writer Bonnie Greer stating she wanted to use violence on him.
Add to this Griffin using his ‘I’m only sticking up for British people’ and a PR nightmare was created.
Talk is cheap.
£12 million in 130 areas to solve white working class disaffection is nonsense; it is failing to grasp the reality of Britain today.
It is a corrupt society so broken that major reforms are needed because the problem is the middle class political elite and their cronies.
