Re: Racism
It is actually official Race Relations policy that it is impossible for a black/asian person to discriminate against a white person! It's news to me, I have seen it happen all too often. It is a sad and sorry state of affairs when treatment for an illness is withheld on such spurious grounds, and only serves to inflame racist feeling. This is how and why extremist views flourish. There was a tremendous outcry when BNP councillors were voted in in Blackburn and Burnley, but that was the result of a democratic election and simply serves to show what people are thinking and feeling.
We should all do something - I don't know that redirected votes will serve any useful purpose, but if enough of us protest, something just might get done. My local MP is Frank Dobson - a total sheep in sheep's clothing if there ever was one, but I am prepared to barrack him about this.
