Given the thread title, how fast did you open the thread?
My mistake
It was an ASIAN CONSERVATIVE candidate.

A Conservative local election candidate who said she could never support "the Jew" Ed Miliband has been suspended.
Gulzabeen Afsar, a council candidate in Derby, made the comment on Facebook.
In a post, she said: "Just can't take Mr Ed Miliband seriously!" and later said: "Never ever will I drop that low and support the Al Yahud!".
Al Yahud is Arabic for "the Jew".
Ms Afsar, who is thought to have made the comments over the weekend, apologised soon after and removed the post.
She will still appear on the ballot paper on 7 May marked as a Conservative candidate.
Labour leader of Derby City Council, Ranjit Banwait, said he had been "deeply troubled" and "horrified" by Ms Afsar's comments.
In a letter to the Conservative party, he said: "This is not about politics, but about setting standards which are acceptable.
"It goes without saying that the conduct she has displayed is dismally below that which we expect from councillors within our political groups."
The Conservative party said her comment was "offensive and wrong" and a full disciplinary hearing would follow.
In a statement, Philip Hickson, chairman of the local Conservative association, said: "There is no place in the Conservative Party for these comments or attitudes either in Derby or anywhere else.
"The comment was offensive and totally unacceptable and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances."

Her dislike may be down to the fact that the Al Yahud was also filmed eating a bacon sandwich, this has probably given her nightmares

Given the thread title, how fast did you open the thread? They're probably too busy weeping over some drug smugglers who are about to get their comeuppance. |

may I draw your attention to this thread on the politics forum  . http://community.betfair.com/politics/go/thread/view/94150/30472229/dont-vote---stay-muslim?pg=2 I put up a youtube link on there showing a woman having a go at muslims, and stated what a dilemma the luvvies are facing. Somebody having a right pop at muslims generally gets attacked as racist within 2 minutes, no matter what time it gets posted. But they can't, or won't respond, because the woman having a go at muslims is black. The thread has gone to over 600 views, and not a luvvie in sight to have a go at the black woman. Most of the 45 comments are by me and others continually asking where the luvvies, and are they going to comment on this blatant attack on muslims. We're still waiting. |

they did a hatchet job on ukip on sky today
got the trans boxing promoter who stood for mayor under ukip now saying its a wasted vote with only a week or so to go I wonder how many more of these tricks are going to be used. |

By:
ukip should come up with a story a couple of days before the election with a muslim fraud backing both tory and labour to keep ukip out
or some other invention - I am sick of the bias against the greens and ukip |

By:
how about Cons and Labour uniting in Thanet trying to keep Nigel out? Trouble is it's true and not a story.

I just find the timing interesting. likewise with other stories.
Be honest, the establishment parties want their 5 years to guarantee their future careers in banks, the eu; book sales and lecture tours. 20 years of carp, decades of coverups. Perversion. Dolphin fun. Continuous Financial irregularities. etc etc etc and still 70 percent of the electorate are going to vote for them. |
