Council car class is 'racist'

A RACE row broke out yesterday after a Labour council ran free driving lessons for Asians only.

The scheme was aimed at 15 to 19-year-olds “from the Asian heritage community” after a local survey showed they were three times more likely to be injured in crashes.

Teenagers aged 17 to 19 got free driving lessons costing £22 an hour in the ward of Bastwell, in Blackburn, Lancs.

Fifteen and 16-year-olds had lessons in a car simulator and were warned of the dangers of drink-driving and joyriding.

Blackburn-with-Darwen Council extended the scheme to two neighbouring white wards after Conservatives branded it “racist and sexist”.

The council insisted the schemes targeted areas with high accident levels, “regardless of race”.

Presumably the course consists of teaching:

1. Indicators: their purpose and use
2. Lane discipline
3. How to go slow on slow roads
4. How to go fast on fast roads

:roll: Imagine for a moment, if you will, if a council had set up free driving classes for white male drivers 15-19 it would be on the telly, and everyone would be throwing there options into the forum. In fact it would never happen.

I hate this whole sub cultre of posivtive discrimination.

Quite!

If you Google "Pournell axis" (Sp?) and surf a bit you will find that "LibLabCon" are all basically the same.

If you want meaningful change you need to vote for somebody who does not occupy the same area of the box!

Rememeber this come election time!

I am not happy with the current goverment and I like most of the population did not vote them in. However the I belive the BNP are hardly a real alternaive to the solution. They essentially feed on people’s ignorance; to form a party that is founded on racism is no better than the Nazi party. To blame blacks browns etc for the state of the country is wrong, also to blame the EU is wrong. Most of the policy makers and advocates of positive discrimination are white people. Who, lets face it where probably bullied at school and for some reason feel guilty about being white. We have gone to far to the looney left, and we have a control freak socailist goverment. Do you really think it will get better with a party such as the BNP?

The more realistic question is would having 5% of MPs in the house of commons belonging to the BNP make a difference? I think this can only be a good thing. We need some extreme right wing and extreme left wing representation as it helps distinguise where in the middle to draw the line.

As far as I'm concerned the BNP are a pernicious racist organisation led by evil people who hide their evil under a veneer of democratic respectability. As such they have no place in a civilised society. The rest of political spectrum right-left, authoritarian-libertarian I can live and argue with.

I'm not by any means disagreeing with you about the BNP, but these comments are quite similar to the perception by many that the Safespeed campaign is nothing but a boy racers' club merely masquerading as a Road Safety campaign. Which we all know is not true but sometimes have difficulty persuading the ill-informed and prejudiced opponents of it.

Hmmm. So stealing your home from you if you leave it empty for 6 months is acceptable?

Well, as far as the BNP are concerned I am probably prejudiced (as I hate their guts), but not ill-informed!

Hopefully most people can see that there is a bit of difference between racism and road safety :)

I agree that PC antics feed racism and provide the likes of the BNP with ammunition. I obviously agree about the road safety too, but it's not JUST about the money - stupidity plays a part as well!

What's racist about stopping hoardes of immigrants into the country? They are swamping our industries and bringing the wage rate down + they are creating a vacuum in their home land.

I don't really want to get into a lengthy argument over this, so I'll just say that there is a difference between having a policy about immigration and being racist about it. IMHO the BNP is racist in its approach, and the backgrounds of many of its leading members is rooted in the rascist right.

Debates are better.

Is that because they do not pander to political correctness and that they are not worried about showing that their primary concern is for native brits.

The immigrants come here to do the crap jobs which white trash on the dole refuse to do. Or jobs white people see below them.

Once again the immigrants are here doing jobs which british people don't want to do. I saw on the news once that over all immagrants pay more back in tax etc than they take so where's the problem?

How many immigrants do you see on day time TV(on school holidays I do get busy :lol: )? who are on the dole with kids and breeding with each others best mates and want DNA tests to check if baby chav is theirs or not? I can safley say none, the biggest strain on the country is chav white scum, who refuse to do jobs and then blame immigrants becuse they "can't find work" :furious:
