Bigots

Gordon Brown killed off Labour's chances of victory in the general election, not to mention his own career, with his off-the-cuff remarks about a pensioner he met on the hustings in Rochdale. The old lady in question asked where all the Eastern Europeans were coming from (one assumes Eastern Europe) and Brown, in the safety of the car, grumbled about the situation he had been put in by his handlers and denounced the old lady in question as "a bigoted woman".

Mainstream media picked over the comments at length and with more than a smidgeon of glee, other parties commented tersely and then moved on, while the comments boards of major media outlets were filled by very busy New Labour maggots posting repetetive comments asking "Since when has it been wrong to call a bigot a bigot"?

The question here is, were the original comments bigoted. It may seem bigoted to the sort of middle class privately educated twenty-somethings living in the better parts of the urban metropolises to question the provenance of immigrants moving not into the better parts of the urban metropolises but into bleak northern towns with little prosperity and few prospects, but then, with their Media Studies degrees and sinecures with Daddy's advertising firm, they will never really understand the concept of being pushed out of your job to make way for a Polish worker who will take £5k a year less than you, or of having your boss tell you that the alternative to you taking a pay cut, having your hours increased and your holidays reduced is for him to replace you with a Slovakian.

The fault lies not with the immigrants, of course, but the employers, who use the influx of cheap foreign labour as an excuse to lay off their British staff, saddled as they are with families and houses to maintain. The "bigotry" of Brown's "bigots" would be better directed towards these employers, who so often take the opportunity of illegal labour to welch on the National Insurance and Income Tax, and to pay less than the minimum wage - as this means that British workers cannot compete without breaking the law.

But the right-on Labour darlings infesting the comments sections of reports on CNN, the Guardian and every other news site you could name, for all their self-styled empathy with the Great Unwashed, will never have to deal with these problems. Rather than condemn the government's pathetic control of the UKs borders, or indeed the exploitative employers (after all, many of them are Daddy's friends), it is far easier to smear, Mandelson-style, the proles, who probably are all racist BNP voters.

One hopes that a Cameron victory will see this rabble of middle class turds rooted out of their public sector non-jobs. If they were to be replaced by Albanian asylum-seekers, that might increase their understanding of the plight of the uncultured Untermensch they share this country with.
