I travel through Dewsbury regularly scandy, I wouldn't live there. You are giving him kudos for 'living in' a city with 65% foreigners, I'm sure he lives far away from the troublesome ones.

you're overcomplicated things, he said he'd never seen so many white people, he lives in a city where the white population is less than 50%? he lives in Camden mre specifically, a pretty diverse borough, the studio he broadcasts from is in Camden as well, he's lived there for many years.

By:
He's 71, to say he's never seen so many white people is simply not true. London was very white indeed in the 60s.

By:
it was a daft thing to say but really he was emphasisng the point that in his every day life in London everywhere he goes he sees a very multi cultural society, then all of a sudden he sees huge gathering thousands of white people only, though as pointed out he had attended Glasonbury.

"Something quite remarkable happened in London in the first decade of the new millennium. The number of white British people in the capital fell by 620,000 - equivalent to the entire population of Glasgow moving out." Don't you watch escape to the country? They were all "property millionaires" - sold up and moved to Cornwall, Devon, Wiltshire, etc so that Cornish people can no longer afford to live in Cornwall. They don't understand that they are seen as immigrants by the locals. Rather than spend their days enjoying the countryside they said they wanted to move to, they spend their days complaining about their Broadband speed and the lack of Waitrose. |

I don't think many people begrudge people earning money here and buying a property wherever they like. They do begrudge potless wasters turning up and being given em.

Twas Mrs T that gave all the houses away iirc

So they put them in private lets and we pay the landlord, only difference is it costs us even more. We don't need more houses, we need a smaller population.

They should've moved north The Management. Get a lot more for your money

I firmly believe immigration is good for any country provided the right kind of people are allowed in eg economically and socially, and want to do good for their new country. But, not any Tom, Dick or Harriet.
About 35 years ago an Asian newsagent "friend" said to me "in Southall we played a game called "Spot the English". Would that be ok now coming from a non-white anywhere? Or is accepted that is the general consensus in Southall. |

Snow was having a pop at the white British patriots. It's a hobby of his. That's why he hates Orban in Hungary for wanting to protect Hungarian white Christian culture.
Wembley today. Pompey v Sunderland. 80k. 98% white Mr Snow. Wembley is only white when there's a game on.  |

I can see us whites being compelled to walk around with a sign around our neck
'I apologise for being white, I hope it does not offend any non white people I pass' |

A pathetic example of a leftie journalist,
Tries to smear Leave voters as angry racists, But he is shown up vividly on national TV, As a hypocrite and racist, for all to see, Isn't it ironic, don't you think? |

Time to take the media out of London

Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Race-baiter Snow has got to go!
|
|
By:
His bait certainly appears more efficacious than one would first have imagined.
|
|
By:
In percentage terms Snow was probably correct. People pretending to be offended are a bit pathetic.

no respect for him & never have; just an over priveliged white jonny who feels guilty about his 'fortune' He should move to Burundi & join a commune

For those that need this explained to them (and sadly it apparently does need explained) the reason it's contorversial is that Comrade Snow can attend all sorts of things like virtually all white Glastonbury and even the the remain march and never comment on ethnicity, but he'll comment on it this case as he and his like are constantly trying to say Leave voters are racists, and thus this is in some way a sort of "white's only" racist march. It's clearly what he is getting at. Secondly he's being racist, he's bringing race into it when the protest was nothing to do with race HE is trying to make it that. (In fact on the news I saw a black guy in a union jack suit and bowler hat .. anyway) ... And thirdly he's a total hypocrite as if it were ever reversed, e.g. a Fox News journalist said something about "never seen so many blacks in one place" Channel 4 would be first to scream for his head.

For those that need this explained to them (and sadly it apparently does need explained) the reason this is the most ironic and feckin hilarious thread - is because it's a thread for snowfakes to complain about ..... er snowflakes.
|
|
By:
Your "Joke" wasn't even funny the first time. HTH.
|
|
By:
It's not the same joke. No snowflake jokes are the same.
|
|
By:
At least the snowflakes are genuine - no matter how misguided.
Snow-fake - pretending that anything Jon Snow has said could possibly offend you is pretty feeble. |

It's all about the fraktuls.

That is the common denominator.

It's nothing to do with offence. It's about a clear and obvious agenda from MSM and indeed Parliament to label Patriots as far right and racist. I've lost count of the number of institutions and groups that are labelled 'too white'.
If that doesn't worry people then the juggernaut coming down the road will hit you before you see it. |
|
By:
I'd be far from surprised if some of them did turn out to be racists, although I wouldn't feel qualified to take a guess at what percentage.
|
|
By:
C4 is MSM?
 Their "agenda" is different to yours no doubt about that - so why watch it? - Why don't you just watch Bull-dog news or whatever the channel is called that shares your agenda? |

Well as long as they keep quiet and don't scare the horses..... |

Aye Hanx, if we spot any of the same faces protesting at Aintree then we'll know.
