UK LABOUR PARTY TO LEGALIZE RACISM IN VOTING
Law change urged so Labour can have all-black shortlists
· Push to increase number of black and Asian MPs
· Chair of party's ethnic forum to introduce bill

So far Labour has selected only one new ethnic minority candidate in a seat it is likely to win at the next general election, despite promises to make the parliamentary party look like the country it serves. (SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO FROM THEOP.)
Keith Vaz, who chairs Labour's ethnic minority forum, says that 20 years after he was elected as one of the first four ethnic minority MPs of the modern era, the party is still failing. Mr Vaz, who also sits on Labour's ruling national executive committee, says he will introduce a new bill so all-black shortlists of candidates can be imposed on constituencies.
Such positive discrimination would be illegal, but Labour has already changed the law to allow all-women shortlists.
An internal Labour list of new candidates for the next general election, seen by the Guardian, shows that Asian and black candidates have been chosen in seats they have little or no hope of winning.
Hardyal Dhindsa was picked to fight Mid Derbyshire, a new seat created by boundary changes which is expected to go Tory. The party has chosen Rushanara Ali in London's Bethnal Green and Bow, which it lost in 2005 to George Galloway's Respect party. Yasmin Qureshi has been selected in Bolton South East and is currently the best hope of adding to Labour's ethnic minority MPs, with half of the candidates selected and an election possible this autumn. At a hustings held in May in Leicester for Labour's leadership, Gordon Brown said it was "wrong" the party did not have more ethnic minority MPs.
Mr Vaz, the former Europe minister, said a bill allowing all-black shortlists was needed: "It's the only way we're going to increase representation. The fact is the party needs to do more. We have to ensure we get more black and Asian MPs into parliament at the next election. That means we have to positively discriminate in favour and have all ethnic minority shortlists. I think all three parties have failed."
Some ethnic minority activists were angered when the Walthamstow seat in east London, where a third of voters are black or Asian, had an all women shortlist imposed by the party leadership. Mr Vaz said there was a need for all-women lists, but said they had never produced an ethnic minority candidate: "Whenever there's a chance of getting another ethnic minority candidate in, an all-women shortlist is imposed. Look at Walthamstow; no black or Asian person has ever been selected from an all-woman shortlist."
Potentially controversial candidate selections for Labour loom in two seats with large ethnic minority populations; Ladywood in Birmingham and Streatham in south London. The skills minister, David Lammy, has said the party should consider all-black shortlists. Mr Vaz's bill would present a dilemma for Tory leader David Cameron, who has tried to change the face of his party and have more ethnic minority candidates in winnable seats.
There are 15 black or Asian MPs in the Commons, with Labour having 13, the Conservatives two, and the Liberal Democrats none in this parliament.
If the number of MPs from ethnic minorities were in tune with the proportion of the population who are black or Asian, that number would have to be at least three times bigger.
Support for Labour, which usually wins the overwhelming majority of black and Asian votes, fell in 2005, in large part because of British Muslims' disgust at Tony Blair's role in the Iraq war.
The ethnic minority forum was set up to reconnect the party with a section of its electoral base crucial to holding on to seats in inner cities and amid expectation the next election will be the tightest in a decade. Simon Woolley, of Operation Black Vote, said: "Labour are in danger of falling behind the Conservatives in terms of new candidates in winnable seats.
"Labour historically has won 80% of the black vote, and the Conservatives 10%, so something is drastically wrong. Labour are taking the black vote for granted and the Conservatives are, finally, falling over themselves to get ethnic minority candidates and win support in urban area they need to stand a chance of getting back to government."
Mr Woolley says the black candidates the Tories have picked are more in tune with their communities than before: "There's a new generation of black Tory candidates who are comfortable and proud of their blackness.

FROM THEOPINIONATOR:
By any name - this is (real) racism - not the PC kind so easily bantered about and lobbed with precision at any dissident to left loonies "ideal" multicultural (anything but white) society.
Even worse - this is a direct assault on the voting public of Great Britain. Apparently our omnipotent politicians feel that they know better than voters as to who should be elected. What they are really telling us is: "You people are stupid and not voting for what we think are enough minorities thus we will rig the elections so that you will be forced to choose a minority candidate."
Now I will repeat a section from the above article:
"There are 15 black or Asian MPs in the Commons, with Labour having 13, the Conservatives two, and the Liberal Democrats none in this parliament.
If the number of MPs from ethnic minorities were in tune with the proportion of the population who are black or Asian, that number would have to be at least three times bigger."
A look at the 2001 Ethnic Demographics of Great Britain shows:
Ethnic group
Population
Percentage
White
44,679,361
90.92%
Asian or British Asian
2,248,289
4.58%
Black or Black British
1,132,508
2.30%
Mixed
643,373
1.31%
Chinese, incl. British Chinese
220,681
0.45%
Other
214,619
0.44%
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_England
Thus some elementary mathematics will show that 15 Black or Asian MPs is not an underrepresentation in fact it is just the opposite. (especially when one considers that not all group members listed above are British citizens able to vote, & accounting for Labour's ongoing "open door" border policies on immigration)
This is another glaring example of our political jackasses trying to force their idea of the perfect society down the throats of the British people - and their "ideal" is to trivialize the White British majority and import increasing numbers of minorities until the tables are turned and Britain, as it has been for centuries, is no more.
It is up to us.

Off Topic - and don't go here unless you've got a strong stomach.
Coming here too, just as soon as Islam feels itself strong enough to make its bid.

Decapitations, botched decapitations, mutilations, burnings, torture. All against peaceful Budhists.
And remember Beslan. Three years ago Muslims raped Christian children and forced them to drink their own urine.
Everything that is peaceful, beautiful and gentle seems to be a target for the sadistic hatred, destructiveness and vile lusts of these Islamic vermin.
What needs to be done to rid the world of these savages?

Police hunt rapists of young girl
Shakil Chowdhury raped the girl after she asked him for directions
Police are continuing to hunt three men after a 12-year-old girl was raped after getting lost on her way home. The youngster was plied with alcohol and passed between four men who took turns to rape her on 27 October, 2006. One of the men who raped the girl was Shakil Chowdhury, 39, of Attock Close, Chadderton, Greater Manchester. Chowdhury admitted six counts of rape and was jailed at Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, on Friday, for six years. The others have not been traced. The court heard that Chowdhury persuaded the youngster to get into his car and that she agreed to go to his house because she thought she could trust him. However, once there he gave her alcohol, took her upstairs to his bedroom and ordered her to lie on the bed where he raped her. To carry out this sort of attack on a 12-year-old child is simply abhorrent Detective Chief Inspector Mary Doyle
He then left the room and a second man came in and raped her followed by two other men. Throughout the evening Chowdhury raped the girl a number of times - using different beds at the house. When he took the girl home, he asked if he could take her phone number before he left. The youngster reported the rape to the police and pointed out Chowdhury's address to officers. His house was raided and he was arrested. Detective Chief Inspector Mary Doyle of Oldham CID said: "Chowdhury's actions that evening would have been unacceptable on a woman of any age, but to carry out this sort of attack on a 12-year-old child is simply abhorrent."

This is typical of the attitude that Islam has towards the non Muslim female, I do not know how much longer the British male will allow this kind of treatment to go on unanswered.
To my way of thinking it is the role of the male to stop the abuse of women, this may be an old fashioned viewpoint and not in line with the "new male" image but the Police do little to protect women from these barbarians so I think we have to

I am a woman and I don't think that that is a wrong view point at all.
Maybe it is old fashioned in the sense of a bit like ' a mother's love' - it may be old fashioned, but that does not make it wrong.
However, it should be the job of the police to stop this shit.

Good article Opinionator.
The article demonstrates the disdain that this Government holds for the concept of Government of the people for the people by the people.
The concept and principles of democracy are being eroded on a daily basis.
This Quisling Government has it own agenda and it bears no comparison to the mandate they were elected on, it is betrayal .
Quisling was a Norwegian, I think we now have to change that to MacQuisling

I agree. The quisling part is particularly correct as both Gordon Brown and Ed Balls (an apt name by the way) are members of the elite Bilderberg Group. If you have not heard of this society it's no wonder as I have emailed most newspapers asking about it but no one will even print the letter let alone an answer.
Have a read from my web site at:-
http:www.europeantruth.co.uk
you may find it interesting. I try to update it regularly.
Whatever happened to free speech. In my younger days I used to go to what was known as Speakers Corner in Hyde Park. there would be dozens of speakers berating everything and everyone. Not any more. To close with a statement from Tony Benn:-
"We live in a continent where increasingly power has gone to a group of people who are not elected, cannot be removed and don't have to listen to us".
Can we leave please.

Imagine, if the traitors in our midst had all got together, to formulate a plan to destroy our Nation - it would probably read something like this:
Fellow Globalists. If you believe, as we do, that, Britain, but especially, England, is too arrogant, and too xenophobic, to willingly accept global governance, then we will have to destroy its identity, and weaken it sufficiently, so that it is no longer able to resist. Surprisingly it won't be too hard to do. Look at history. History shows that Nations are far more fragile than their citizens believe.

Or was mandy one of those?

Let the lefties have their monochrome shortlists, so long as we get the electoral process cleaned up. That risible potal voting has to stop. We need to get back to a system in which no-one can prove who he/she voted for, otherwise we do not have secret ballotting.
And if nu-lab lose seats to white candidates from other parties- so much the better.

Remember: "Racism" is a word that is only valid when used against whites. No other ethnicity is or can be guilty of racism. As a corollary, whites can never be rid of "racism" no matter what they do, no matter what reparations they make, no matter what kind of allowances or preferences they give to non-whites. As long as one white person still exists in the world, "racism" will also by definition still exist.
- - - - - -
Is there anywhere in the world that different ethnicities mingle and the whites do NOT wind up being leaders of government and business? Not that I want to suggest that I think white people are in any way good, or that their culture is in any way worthy of emulation....
