'Racist Tram Lady' as she will forever be known


Is it just me (and I think it is actually) or is that now infamous 'racist woman on the tram' not actually that racist? I don't know why but I don't find it that offensive, & I'm the kind of person she is referring to; a 'brown' in London who has ruined 'her' Britain. I actually find it funny and of course ridiculous, as she is so ignorant & uneducated, but it's more xenophobic than racist. She seems very bitter, which is the worst trait to have so I feel sorry for her actually.

I don't know why it's Asda in particular but every time I go there I think wow, if I was a member of the BNP and I came in here I would just shoot myself in the head right there and then. Trying to find a white English person in Asda such as the woman on the tram, is like trying to find Nicalagala on the map. It's not just Asda people! There is evidently loads of 'us', as the video shows, but fear not BNP/EDL/Chav we still comprise less than 10% of the UK population (that's about the same as the gay population) and we mostly exist in London, the most cosmopolitan place on earth, you know the financial centre of the world? Which exists in the e-c-o-n-o-m-y, globalisation, no haven't heard of any of these words?

If she thinks we have ruined 'her' Britain, why doesn't SHE just fuck off somewhere else in Britain where there are plenty of people who genetically resemble her. There are loads of places where she does not have to look at us browns and blacks, and I'm sure there are loads of job opportunities for her in those places too hmmm. These places will still be full of people that stare at me when I go into a restaurant and ask me if I speak English (*cough cough* Blackpool). Xenophobia exists in any country of the world, in South Africa, African immigrants including people escaping Mugabe's regime, have been lynched on the basis that they are 'stealing' jobs. What is race anyway? What are countries anyway? Mostly borders drawn up by the... duh duh duuuuh... that's right, MY BRITAIN.

Topless Fighters versus The Arab League

 ... They could not be a bigger juxtaposition but yet I don't know who is the bigger joke. This group of Ukranian women, protest topless to fight against prostitution and sex tourism. There is only a few of them but they have unsurprisingly gained a lot of media coverage. OK fair enough if you want to protest but protesting against female sexual exploitation by becoming the epitome of exploitation? They proclaim to be 'neo-feminists; their explanation has been that,



 "We're different from classic feminists. In order to gain a voice, they had to become like men. But we want a real women's revolution. Our naked protests are part of the fight for women's liberation. We have the right to use our bodies as weapons. It was men who made breasts into a secret."


I do not wish to give them any more publicity actually, but they have said something which has just pissed me right off. They want to take their 'message' to other countries, they have already done so in Italy in front of the pope. Not content with appearing half naked in front of the Catholic Church, they also hope to spread their 'message' i.e. protesting topless, to Muslim countries, including Iran, fully knowing the possible consequences of their actions. I was not bothered by them until they spouted this kind of patronising  superiority, making my eyes roll, nonsense. Speaking of the Muslim world that they speak of, there is so much wrong with what's happening at the moment the last thing that would be needed, if ever, is European topless women running the streets.

Then there is the Arab league, I had not even heard of these clowns until Britain, France and the US wanted to bomb Libya. They were the go to guys for the government to reference on Question Time et al in order to back up the decision to intervene/bomb the shit out of Libya. 'Well if the Arabs want us to bomb Libya it must be the right decision' Err the most disastrous decisions in the Middle East have been caused by despots condoning the bombing of their fellow Middle Easterns, have we already forgotten Iraq v Kuwait and Iraq v Iran. Both Western proxy wars backed by donkeys such as Mubarak and the Saudi regime.

The Arab League - let's review their decision making over the past year - Let's go into Libya. The Libyans themselves apparently asked for it, but they wanted a NO FLY ZONE, and instead got Britain, France, the US and NATO to specifically destroy Gaddafi targets thus ensuring a successful coup, plus a few civilians here and there. But what's a little civilian blood to secure some business interests and get rid of a loopy guy who you never really liked anyway.

Letting the Gulf states go into Bahrain with mercenaries in tow, to quash the Bahraini uprisings, where the authorities here killed at least 40 entirely peaceful protesters, threatened to rape school girls who participated in protests, destroyed Shia mosques, injured many people, imprisoned and tortured the doctors, dentists and nurses who were tending to the injured. Even when a report came out from Bahrain itself exposing some of their activities and absolving Iran of any involvement, the royal regime still claimed Iran was behind the protests.

Cringeingly pandering to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, giving him four different tailor-made agreements to step down whilst ensuring he receives immunity from prosecution, despite months of unrest and many being mercilessly killed by his unapologetic forces.

Now the Western puppets are going to impose economic sanctions on Syria for not complying with their demands to stop killing protesters. It's as if they are eating Starburst, and are not eating the orange ones cos they're the ones that taste a bit crap.

Yet silence when it comes to Palestine, (cue barrel of hay rolling past) remember them? They have been tirelessly resisting their overt degradation, the theft of their land and the murder of their children for decades. Even with all their oil, money, protests good and bad, a sudden interest in protecting civilians of other countries, nothing has changed at the top.

Governments should be scared of us, NOT the other way round!

Even though the governments are meant to be FOR the people, WORKING FOR the people, they don't want to listen to anything we want. Even when they promise that if a motion gets 100,000 signatures they will debate it in Parliament, no-one is surprised by the resulting absence of response/debate. If you're going to lie at least do it properly! Granted some of the views of the majority are astoundingly misguided e.g. calls for the restoration of the death penalty or leaving the EU, some are sound, yet are still ignored. Of course it goes deeper than that, it even goes deeper than the so far released Wiki cables. The governments of the world were up in arms over diplomatic conversations going public. Excuse me but the last time I checked governments were working FOR US, so why do we not have the right to know what's really going on?? or at the very least know what you really think about one another (see Saudi on bombing Iran). Is anyone put on trial for the murders of the Reuters journalists, the civilians and the children killed in that infamous Wikileaks video? What exactly are the results of exposing their conversations and war crimes?



The solitary confinement and mental torture of Bradley Manning, the absurd extradition of Julian Assange and the shutdown of Wikileaks through forcing the massive companies in the world (Visa, Paypal, Apple etc) to withdraw any Wikileaks finance or material. Wikileaks was meant to make the governments face the reality but instead its the exposer who suffers.

Western powers and even the Arab League, pause for a minute, the ARAB LEAGUE, a host of dictators, people oppressors and human rights abusers, seemingly support other nation's fight for freedom. JUST NOT THEIR OWN nations. This selective support is unbelievably hypocritical, and no-one is fooled that this posturing has more to do with ease, security concerns, allies, business interests and so forth.

Are the blood and dignity of the citizens of Libya and Syria more worthy of governmental support than those of Yemen and Bahrain? And there are other countries, especially in the Gulf, that also MUST be fighting for freedom, but we do not hear about it or it quickly disappears from the news.

Although the Eurozone crisis and mass unemployment is taking over the headlines, we must remember that economic justice and social justice go hand in hand. While protests are being suppressed all over the world, please do not be deterred even in the land of lie-down Britain (see Sleepwalking blog). We must do whatever we can because this is OUR lives that are in the hands of the few, our governments, and by proxy the rich. The fight for justice must continue, whether it's with your heart, mouth or hand* (or twitter) and we cannot be the ones left behind.

Two sure fire table conversation killers - religion and politics



I know these are the two topics that you MUST avoid at a dinner party for fear of the designated black sheep label but hey, these are the two most important topics in my lil ol heart and this ain't no freakin dinner party. It's strange that we all have a sense of spirituality and faith no matter how shallow some may seem on the surface, pondering questions like 'Why are we here?' Yet religion is SUCH a taboo subject especially in Britain. Even fiery me very rarely talks about religion and that's still only with people who I'd trust with my life, and even then it's only at a surface level. In a society which is so liberated and free you're made to feel so uncomfortable and even foolish when speaking on something which permeates your every fibre, your body and soul; what you believe in.



Atheists or people who just plainly hate religion may think that people have always needed a comfort to bring them to terms with the hardships of life so we made up this concept of God or a higher spiritual being. That the main three monotheist religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are following the words of a book that was written by a bunch of men who thought that they were something special. That religions were just formed from cultures and their practices. That religions were made to brainwash people.

The latter has been said in front of me with no respect to my beliefs, my family and my intelligence. I theoretically retorted (when actually I just left the place immediately) with the fact that, fair enough if you think that these words were written by man but you believe newspapers today like The Sun like they were the word of God. If you don't believe in a supposed divine message that has the same principles coming from different countries centuries apart then you should also not believe everything written by so-called journalists who work for dodgy billionaires. Even if faiths were created to brainwash or guide people, they all preach doing good deeds and living your life in a humble peaceful way so what's actually wrong with that?

Religion is the main cause of wars and killing people they would reply. I would say Hitler was an atheist and was responsible for exterminating how many millions of Jews? Not to mention how many millions have been imprisoned, tortured and killed in the name of Communism (Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Soviet Union, China etc), a rejection of religion and God for the sake of the community and state, which is really just some old dictator. In modern times, segments of the secular West have gone to war in countries thousands of miles away from them in an apparent attempt to 'liberate' them killing thousands in the process, quite any oxymoron but that's another rant altogether. Clearly, people of faith and people without faith both cause insurmountable pain and suffering. To conclude, shit happens. And the last time I checked religion hasn't been the common denominator.


The Sun, Daily Mail et al 21st century line of argument against religion is; 'Look at the child abusing priests' and 'Bin Laden and all the other Islamic extremists'. Clearly you cannot expect even two next-door neighbours to act in unison  so why would you expect that from millions or billions of people from the same religion. Plus, if we believers were so brainwashed wouldn't every single one of us act homogeneously? Aaaah the governments of the world would love that!


 I'll save politiking for the next time...
