In 1991 when I left the inner-Sydney suburb of Burwood, it was mostly Australians, with some immigrant European and Mediterranean migrants. 

Several years later I had occasion to get off at Burwood station where I made my way down the steps in mid-afternoon, and all I saw coming up towards me was a tight pack of Asian faces struggling to get to their platforms.

And then I got onto Burwood road ... and thought I was in downtown Hong Kong during the afternoon rush-hour.

..... un ... effing ..... believable.

Just down the road from the station there's a park with a big monument to all the locals who died in the wars. Lots of names chiselled into the polished marble ~ none of them Chinese.

One wonders what those fellows who fell in those wars would think if they returned to see how Australia's politicians have conspired with the UN to bury their offspring and progeny under an overwhelming crush of Asians ... who rush to the airports to wave their little Chinese flags every time a communist Chinese dignitary arrives to pay a visit to Canberra.

A huge betrayal.

And then, just up the track to the Harris Park and Parramatta area ~ it's downtown 'Mumbai' 24/7 where your eyes water from all the curry powder that's floating in the air ...

Last year I walked from Westmead station to the hospital 15 minutes away ... and at least 90% of the people on the streets were Indians.

Am I racist?

Damn right I'm racist.

But not towards the individual, but towards the mob when they are in such large numbers in Australia and the UK.

Trevor Phillips is a good man and an honest fellow... but I disagree strongly with his suggestion that predominately white schools should have blacks forced upon them. That's where he's very wrong.

And he will suggest new measures to help to encourage integration - which could include forcing "white" schools to take larger numbers of ethnic minorities.

Won the Rochester by-election.

Interesting result just 12 months out from General Election:

UKIP - won a 2nd seat in as many months, getting in a winning habit.

Cons - Will be confident of winning it back. Got beat but not stuffed suggesting people are happier with Cameron as we get close to election.

Labour - Shocker. We're never going to win so should have been able to watch the Cons lose and get the headlines. Instead one tweet of a house by the Opposition Attorney General on the campaign has seen them grab all the headlines. She resigns before Milliband was about to sack her and all the whirlwind is how they are out of touch and sneer at working class people.

LibDems - Showed how bad they've done being in a coalition with conservatives. Got less than 1,000 votes, worst result in 65 years. Heading for oblivion.

Greens - Beat LibDems into 4th. Surprisingly good result in a very "non Green" constituency.

I think the General Election is wide open now. Labours lead has evaporated and they seem to be scoring own goals regularly.

The Labour press release stated that the Shadow Attorney General offered her resignation after a meeting with a "furious" Ed Milliband.
Several commentators here have said it's literally impossible to imagine Red Ed furious or being anything like scarey.

Btw if you see the lady that resigned she is far more scarey than the posh little Ed.

This mob really are starting to look just like the PHONies did - like village idiots!   

Ukip mistakes Westminster Cathedral for mosque

Actually, it's a whole bunch, Herbie.

You hold UKIP as the saviour of the UK.  Problem is, this mob can't even tell the difference between a Christian Cathedral and an Islamic Mosque!  Like the PHONies, their hatred of immigrants blinds them to all else.   Farage is an opportunist, Herbie, just as Hanson and her bunch of village idiots were.  The Australian electorate saw through Hanson after she was shipped off to prison for "knowingly defrauded the Commonwealth" over the number of members her political party had - she had taken Commonwealth electoral funding illegally.    She and her friends the two Davids tried to pull a swift one and got caught.  How many members did the PHONies have?  Three or was it the required five hundred?

Farage is an opportunist, he's seeking to tap into an undercurrent of British racism and it will last for a short time, until he stumbles like all opportunists do.  This is just the first, minor stumble but it reveals the true nature of UKIP, Herbie.   

As much as the PHONies and UKIP might like to turn the clock back, it isn't going to happen, Herbie.  The reality is that both Oz and the UK have moved on from the 1950s.

What I've always found amusing is that you, only an Australian resident lectures Australian citizens on how they should run their country.  Now, you're lecturing UK citizens on how to run their nation, despite not having lived in the UK for what, over 50 years now?

Really?  You have evidence to back that claim about me, Herbie?  About "running this country their penthouse suite in New York for yonkers?"

Of course, you'll present no evidence.  You never do, Herbie.  This is just another example of your trolling.
