Vote Tory and get a bunch of racist, backward thinking Eton toffs who can’t wait to reward their rich banker mates and punish poor scum.
Vote Lib Dem.

So what do you lot define as racism? If its the learned experience that a load of Australians in Earls Court don’t act like a load of Afrcans in Brixton then it sounds like common sense and indicates like you are living in denial. Or put it another way your bigotry is blinding you to consider the facts objectively.

An interesting point of detail – one group the Tories wanted to exempt from limits were people who settle here because of ‘ancestry’, ie one of their grandparents was born in the UK. No limits for this category, which doubtless coincidentally, is white (white South Africans, Australians etc). So perhaps the poster should have added: “But it is racist to exempt millions of white south Africans, Australians and New Zealanders from any limits.”

Pretty funny, especially now that LABOUR will be IMPOSING IMMIGRATION LIMITS! So, presumably LABOUR is RACIST.

Hmmm – im sure Labour might be trying to improve hospitals because of the absolute disgrace the tory party left them in. These posters are a brilliant idea as they remind people exactly what we are facing here! Please everyone – take action or be faced with 5 years of the pompous twit from Eton – David “superman” Cameron (see Sunday Times mag 30th July aka most nauseating thing i have ever seen!) Don’t let them back in!!!

when will you people learn the Tory, in spite of what you think will win the next elections. Left wing will never work. The foundations of Labour are communist. Left wing =equality! I am sorry but i am sure most of you do not want to *give away* your hard earnt money to drug adicts! Yes Tory have made some mistakes, but not half as many as Labour. Britain has become an *immigration* hot spot and crime has gone out of control!
How dare labour think they can campaign for an improvement in the NHS when they themselves mucked it up! When i was in Harlow last week ( a ward un by labour) the hospital wards were covered in blood and smelt of urine ?? Put a matron o nthe ward ( as the conservatives say) and that will not happen. The hospital ward consisted of a few most likelly un-trained nurses who could not speak good English !

Mind you Jonathon, it’s better to keep your mouth closed and look like a fool than to open it and remove all doubt; not with regards to your observations, which I take to be more sound and rational than most. But the debate in general, I believe, is a tricky one to engage in. I mean what are these posters actually saying? It’s very easy to formulate an opinion when the underying meaning of such propaganda is so grey. The tories (and the rest) seem to be more obsessed with image than specific policy. Cameron’s more like a model on the catwalk than an MP. I only wish that he’d stop strutting about and clarify and expand upon these wishy-woshy slogans…

Hmm. Good to see internet debate is still thriving, and clarity and rigour of thought prevails over sloganeering and emotive thuggery.

Couple of thoughts re the above.

I can understand people’s scepticism about the claim that we are all racist, but it seems to me that what the author is actually proposing is that we are all scared of the unknown. This is pretty obviously true. The only way to arrest one’s natural tendancies in this direction is to establish a metaphysic which comprehands the strange en masse. various religious system’s have achieved this in the past with regards to death, but generally it stands that we are just shit scared of stuff we don’t understand, and i would suggest that that is a not unreasonable position.
The solution, however, is to enlarge your understanding, not to react to the mysterious with preemptive violence.
I haven’t seen a leading polititian display political integrity in my lifetime, so i am disinclined to vote for any of them (although as a keen suporter of democracy and the open society, I will have to choose the least objectionable at some point soon). however, i would love to see a few of them actually trying to open debate on these issues. wider scrutiny is needed, open and accountable to the people of this country. Not just abusive and entrenched mud slinging.
The fact that the latter tends to make up most of our political discourse is, i fear, the result of the rise of television, a medium that favours visual metaphor and soundbites by its very nature. When that is the dominant method of information distribution, open and involved debate will always give way to political graffitti.
On a less general note, I am not deepy conversant with the life and thoughts of Mr Mosely, but i understand that his general gist was that if you mix up a whole bunch of worldviews with radically different founding principles, sooner or later there will be a punch up. Relevant possibly, considering recent ‘demonstrations’ regarding dutch cartoonists.
My political philosophy; i am prepared to listen to and evaluate the words of anyone, whether you wish to label them ‘fachist scum, ‘commie bastards’, ‘reactionaries’, whatever form of bigotory floats your boat. What an individual brings to the debate should not be mediated by your or my opinion of who that individual is. The ones that really frighten me are the ones who won’t enter he debate at all (it’s that unknown quantity thing again).

the population of the UK is falling. which is good. there are far too many ugly, greedy, selfish humans in the world. anyway, immigration would allow us to take in people to replace the drop in our population, it would ease the swelling of the ranks of third world countries where religion and cultures stop contraception from controlling ridiculous birth rates, and this is what the human race as a whole needs. people to be a lot more nice to each other and not so selfish and ignorant. however if i could go back in time and support immigration i would, in stone age times when people first came to britain. imagine all the forests still being there isntead of these ugly fields. countryside my backside.

bye.
