So if you buy a big mansion and think your OK. Someone can come along and demand your land for 'low cost housing' and also make you pay for all the services, water, electricity, roads, sewage to the new site to be paid for by you cos you own the land. The only thing exempt from land grab is your 4 walls. Swimming pools, drives are not exempt and once Land Grab has been applied for their is nothing you can do and in most cases you will not only lose the land but face bills larger than the value of your property to facilitate the development of YOUR land.

I am not saying its fair. I am saying its Spanish and Brits are telling Spanish authorities their laws stink and are wrong.

Are you saying that British people behave well abroad? The argument so often is when in Rome.... So do we behave in Rome?

Lets start with British passport holding paedophiles [ I suppose they are decent white folks??] in Thalland etc.. is that acceptable? Football hooligans - which part of europe do you want me to name? Yob culture in Falaraki [or AN Other..]... some Rome some Romans... [gets down off soap box...!]

BTW neither extremes, CRE nor the BNP get any sympathy from me - the flip side of the same coin, both use identity politics to distinguish their arguments. Criminals are criminals, drug dealers are drug dealers, benefit cheats are benefit cheats and spongers are spongers, terrorists are terrorists.

My argument is for religion out of education and politics.

As this posting has wandered to the age old chestnut of race V culture V colour, can I draw your attention to the phrase "WHITE FLIGHT."


Our American friends/members have been very quiet over the "race issue" but it is them that termed the phrase "White Flight" It tells a story of U.S. Citizens being "chased" out of city centres by immigrants from the middle east and I feel that it is only a matter of time before the U.K. is as bad as certain states of the U.S.A.

I won't go into details, but check for yourselves on the internet...........

Heaven help us all then. This is the Janet Storey that can attend a photoshoot but never has put an appearance in at one local residents association meeting since elected. I have only ever seen her once despite living in Clayton 26 years, when campaigning about Whinney hill tip & road access. She even then got her facts wrong by calling for closure on a facility that her party agreed & signed licence to for ability to function to 2042! Never mind at least its only for 12 months. Restore my faith Janet & put something back into Clayton for a change.

white flight n. The migration of whites to areas or states that are not racially diverse and that have relatively low rates of crime and other social ills.

And why not if it's the only way to keep a way of life that you want for yourself and your family. The problem is where do you go in England that is free from the problem ????

That would be in your honest opinion in case they would like to sue you.

Re: Fairground ride imported for Mayor making weekend in May

Selling off the family silver. Decimating our heritage. Turning the town centre into a joke with more empty shops than full. People come to Accy to save money by looking at the empty shops didn't you know. As for the fairground ride look in todays Observer. I'll take my ride after yours Bagpuss. For the record I was referring to the ruling bods, not the council employeeswho have a hard enough job wading through Britcliffitis mumbo jumbo!

There's some big semis down Bolton Avenue that immigrants wont go to. Why dont you go there so you and your family can enjoy the benefits of an all white community free from racial impurity.

I was canvasing down there and had the misfortune to bump into a BNP supporter who gave me lots of abuse. The two central ward councillors have threatened to report me to standards for being a racist. ME!! can you believe it. It seems that we have some 'white' crackpots and some 'non-white' crackpots.

Quite a few posters on AccyWeb can be classed as racist Tories [and its militant wing The BNP] who if they have ever voted Labour I would question why. They have no loyalty to Labour beliefs. Its laughable listening 'to the voice of reason' when confronted with hard evidence, they always fall back on 'the system is loaded with do gooders who don't understand'. The problem is always someone else, that facist bastion of an argument.

This election campaign has been dominated by hysterical Tories whipping up jingoistic sloganistic soundbites, so much so that the traditional Tory philosphy has been hijacked by militant Tories desperate to gain power rather than make Britain better. Two themes stand out, Slag Blair at All Times & Imigration, Immigration, Immigration. [The sad thing is local elections are used to express this view even though the council is bancrupt because of it]

The Tory Party is a facist party right now. Any lie, any slogan, bash the immigrants as Britains problem. I have every confidence the British people wont accept facism of any kind and that immigration issues will be sorted out by the sensible majority and not the ignorant minority.
