Ligali Strikes Again!

The bright-shirted black demonstrator, Toyin Agbetu of the African rights organisation Ligali, was only a dozen feet from all of them, with apparently no security guards to block him.

Toyin screams at the Queen at a slavery memorial service — all in a days work for the race hate warrior

Just for fun – I think it might indeed be, and yes, this self congratulation, accompanied by organised self-abasement from people who have never personally owned another person, is somewhat premature.

Was indentured labour slavery by other means? Is current indentured labour slavery by other means? People should be careful how they answer, as perhaps widespread organised slavery still persists and all this self congratulation is just to blot out the fact it still exists.

Vikrant – how did you get on with the Tebbit test. I think this year I might pass it

Sunny, I know this is a progressive political discussion website with an Asian twist, but how about something on slavery and the thorny question of reparations.
I have some strong, perhaps surprising and mixed views on the subject.

Jai,

“I was just kidding about the â€œvodka ladoosâ€, by the wayâ€¦..Although Iâ€™m sure some enterprising Punjabis somewhere could â€œinventâ€ them for real if they stumble across this thread and get some ideasâ€¦..”

That actually sounds really good…how about bhang ladoos or bhang barfis? The equivalent to marijuana brownies.

Happy Birthday, Clairwil!

“I say we should ruin Clairwilâ€™s thread this week too by talking about how bastard Bangladesh beat Bermuda, and chucked India out of the tournament”

I always feel out of the loop when it’s cricket time when everyone else is into it, and I am not. I find the game incredibly boring, right next to golf and baseball.

But still– Go Bangladesh!

Happy Birthday Clairwil!

If anyone chucked India out of the tournament, it was India themselves.

But half the fun in supporting India, is the drama of it all, and for that very reason I will always love the Indian Cricket team!

Ok, why were we talking about cricket in last week’s thread?

I say we should ruin Clairwil’s thread this week too by talking about how bastard Bangladesh beat Bermuda, and chucked India out of the tournament

Don,
I have the dirty passions for Will Self. I love grumpy men. Not the grumpy old men though.

Many happy returns for tomorrow.

In a rare cultural outing, I attended An Audience with Will Self last night. Acerbic, but suprisingly charming.

I think it has been statistically proven that Indian cricket fans, right next to Pakistani cricket fans, are the silliest in the world.

No I had to take my long weekend next week. A quiet lunch with mum and dad this week. The heroic acts of decadence are on hold. Now where do I get some of these naughty laddus?

Oh and El Cid. Sit down with your feet up before someone gets hurt.
