Breaking News…..Boris has announced that he’s backing Barack Obama by saying he would do “wonderful things for the confidence of black people around the world.”
Which leads us to ask the question: “Why’s he done it?”
Is it because:
a) he likes his “watermelon smile” and is a sucker for “piccaninnies?”
b) he’s surprised that the Harvard graduate is so flipping smart or….
c) he’s desperately trying to win diversity points after employing aides who probably wouldn’t let Obama in the country in the first place!
Let’s hope the endorsement from whitey doesn’t make him too uppity.
Yer hear, boy?

Nice to see that this is filed under ‘casual racism’ - a touch of self-awareness does wonders.

So were you searching under the term?
Sorry if you were disappointed with the result.

My oh my, whilst the dire Labour Party collapses around you all you can do is grind away at Boris like an elderly whore plodding upstairs to turn her last trick. Cheerio loser!

Hey Monkies; If Boris winning pissed you off then just wait till Cameron does too, and in your hearts you know he will. And judging my today’s US opinion polls you may very well not see your new Messiah elected in America either, he’s anything but the shoe in that the European left are kidding themselves he is.

And still you continue to try and mislead the public about the McGrath affair, whilst ignoring my demolition of your lies about the congestion charge. Are you that far up Ken’s arse? Or is it that you’ve just been brainwashed by the pravdaesque crap he used to disseminate to the unfortunate denizens of London. For anyone who is interested, let’s return to the McGrath sacking that Monkey bangs on about as ‘racist adviser sacked’:
1. Darcus Howe makes a very offensive suggestion that hordes of black people will flee London for the Caribbean upon the election of Boris Johnson.
2. Mark Wadsworth puts this offensive notion to one of Johnson’s staff (it hasn’t happened, incidentally, this mass exodus, has it?).
3. The staff member dismisses it offhand by saying that they can if they so wish. Later he uses a word common in the Australian vernacular as an inoffensive way to refer to a stranger (it certainly contains no racial connotations in the Australian context, and until now I didn’t realise it had any in the English one either).
4. The writer jumps on all this as proof of the ‘Tories’ propensity for racial hatred. He then says this about Australians:
“a country where Black people are the ‘Aboriginal’ indigenous nation who are stereotyped by the white colonisers as social security scrounging drunks”
(He also throws in a cryptic remark about how the staff member pronounces his own name - despite it being the conventional pronunciation, which makes me wonder what he’s on about.)
5. The net result is that the staff member in question has resigned, despite having done nothing other than offer an appropriate response to a fatuous remark. Wadsworth congratulates himself on having damaged the life and career of an evil Tory.
Wadsworth wrote about it in a piece entitled Blacks should ‘go back home if they don’t like Mayor’. Note the use of quotation marks: in fact they enclose words that are not a quotation at all, yet more evidence of Wadsworth’s trouble-stirring propensity. It is in fact a deliberate misquotation to make McGrath appear the racist he is not.
I can’t be the only one who remembers this bon mot from Ken:
“If they’re not happy here, they can go back to Iran and try their luck with the ayatollahs, if they don’t like the planning regime or my approach.”
This remark was made by Ken to the Reuben brothers, who were born in India to parents of Iraqi-Jewish heritage.
Or is it that Ken’s not a Tory so he can say what he likes? Or that it is acceptable to insult Jewish people and Australians?
But still you cite the Wadsworth farrago - in which he himself made the only truly racist remark - as proof about Boris hating black people. You will no doubt ignore this as well, so rest assured this will be the last visit I make to this moronic excuse for a blog.
