'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.

CHAV - Council House and Violent - Do They Deserve All The Derision?

 *Inspired by http://anbarrockny.blogspot.com/2011/11/rent-goes-up-again.html & the attack on the poor*

There are not many societies which deride the poor i.e. the working class as much as we do (see Pippa Middleton dressed at a fancy dress party as a chav). I'm going to join on this for a minute but just bear with me for a minute... I have known so many people throughout my life who have pretended to be homeless, with their parents' encouragement, in order to get themselves in a hostel. Thus ensuring a coveted London council flat in the future, heavily subsidised by the taxpayer. Many council workers are in on this scam and actively tell their friends to get on the housing list, I have been offered this myself. I turned it down and although my morals are intact I cannot help kicking myself as property prices continue to soar and rents becoming more expensive than mortgages. As a child of a parent with those horrific endowment mortgages (after 25 years of an interest based mortgage we will still owe more than a third of the cost of the house, thanks Conservative government and an unregulated mortgage market!) I find myself getting annoyed that council and housing association tenants are paying about 10% of what private renters pay and less if they are on housing benefits.

But this is what the government wants us to do!! To feel angry at the poorer members of society who are just trying to secure their own lives, rather than redirecting anger at the state and how they have let things get to the stage where a studio flat i.e. a box, can cost £300 a week excluding bills and council tax. Instead of facing down greed and forcing landlords to downsize their rent demands or tax them according to how many properties they have etc. they would rather, yep you guessed it bow down to the FREE MARKET system. Nooo don't tax the bankers too much, they will leave the country, Nooo don't sort out the housing prices, that will mess up the free market system. So they are wilfully ignoring the unaffordability (yes I made up a word) of a basic human need and even more absurdly, they would rather stump up the cash in the form of housing benefit.

Many estate agencies do not accept housing benefit tenants anyway for security reasons. Furthermore, housing benefit has been cut in an attempt to move the poor where they should be, in cheap, crap housing just like the good old tower block days. Instead of being unwilling to pay for poor people's sky high rent, why not make sure the rent is not that high in the 1st place? Radical idea I know! If they were forced down, what would really happen? Will the landlords themselves become poor? Err no, obviously not. If tenants had a little more shopping change, would that also not better this flawed economy? Err, obviously YES.
