Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
I know "silvermain" personnally. It was a poor choice of words, that's all. He's definately not racist. He was merely pointing out that the majority off the driver of the vehicles are ASIAN.

Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
See you are arguing it. I agree most of them are pakistani or asian. I am surprised you found two white people. I have never said they are not pakistani or asian so please do not twist words to win a petty argument. this is beneath even you.
You are missing the point. In fact I think you get the point but are trying to win some sort of argument that does not exist.
Why the need to point out that they are pakistani or asian. They are illegal. they are doing wrong. why the need to seperate them from white people ?
Have a look at all the conversations you have joined in on this messageboard. have you ever felt the need to state peoples nationality ?
If the poster has wrongly chosen his words then so be it. he has a good reason. we all make mistakes. But that does not excuse the rest of you defending what you thought was a valid point.
People do bad things. Why the need to tell everyone they are pakistani when you would not do the same if they where white. that is the question and you all know the answer no matter what clever arguments you bring to the table. If they where white it would not be mentioned. deny it if you dare make fools of yourselves.

Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
Poppy my little bundle of fluff im not a racist, i have friends who are asian (cheers jay) and get on very well with them. But looking back at posts in this topic it looks like it is a fact that people reconise and we are not saying all asians speed or drive silly but most cars that are "supt up" are driven by asians FACT.

Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
If Silverman had reported what he saw was mainly men driving would that be seen as sexist?
Surely everyone is entitled to say what they see, without being described as racist?
Cut all the political corectness bull.
We should all be able to say a spade is a spade if that is what in fact it is, no pun intended.

Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
Before anybody thinks it, it’s not me with another account here. Not that anyone would. My spelling (courtesy of the spell checker) and grammar is better than that.
Poppy you are making a mountain out of a molehill and you are wrong to try and do so.

Oh shut up. If this person WAS to report the incidents to the Police, the Police are going to ask what colour they are, and what Nationality they looked like.. its a major help when finding criminals if you ask me.
Does this make the UK Police Force racist?!
Go join the PC BRIGADE!

I have read many conversations on here over the last couple of weeks. about MPs, Binmen, Nurses, Schoolteachers and a lot of others. Not one of them mention that nearly all the MPs are white or mention that the binmen are white or mention the nationality at all.
But when it comes to crime it has to be mentioned that they are pakistani.
Argue the point all you want. You know deep down I am right.

Are you trying to convince yourself or the forum? "you know deep down I am right", stupid infatile drivers come from all walks of life it just seems uncanny that no one is brought to book. Who plays what card counts.

Then you are speaking to the wrong person in the Police. You need to speak to the Police Inspector for your area. Phone up and ask for him/her to phone you back or make an appointment to see him/her. Explain what your problem is and ask what s/he can do to help you.

Re: Welcome to the Accrington Grand Prix
During the day there isnt that much speeding going on through here - but once night falls and there isnt as much traffic the cars put their foot down especially taxis bringing people home.
