The racist bigots are having a field day on the online newspaper that certainly makes them feel at home.

Sorry for not seing this before, Baxxter, but I appreciate your thought. I prefer to answer this with “no comment” not to incriminate myself.

Probably not, and it seems that neither does The Times. In fact, judging by several of my own comments that failed to make it through, it would seem that The Times has a policy against anti-racism comments.

I know it is sad that politics comes into this, but I think you are right, denis.
In fact, I think that even if that African man had been gay, there would have been no protests about his killing, as long as he could be of no help to Labour.

If they don’t like it they can go back home. They are a great burden on us an our health and social services and we didn’t send for them. They imposed themselves on us. “

Bottom line:

This incident does not give Labour any votes, so why bother!
