We should celebrate diversity of opinion.
DIRTY EUROPEAN SOCIALIST.
Fighting for freedom, Democracy, Socialism, and against the forces of hatred. The blog that all politicians love. Warning some people are not clever, or nice enough, to enjoy this blog. I feel nothing but contempt for them, and ask them to grow up. LOL
I think it is very sad when people bully others just because they do not agree with their opinions. I think it's a shame that the Dirty European Socialist has taken off his comment facility because clearly people have been subjecting him to cyber bullying and that's not on. When I initially started my blog, a year ago now, I experienced some cyber bullying and it was very unpleasant. I hope that the Dirty European Socialist puts the comment facility back onto his blog and that people are a little bit more respectful of his views. If you don't like his views then don't read his blog.
At the end of the day our blogs are just a hobby and people shouldn't be abusive.
Diversity of opinion is a truly great thing and we should celebrate the fact that we have freedom of speech in this country. Okay, I am not socialist but I am someone who likes debate.
God Bless D.E.S. Love Catriona!!!!!!!

I cannot advocate racism of any kind - sorry - but do read the blog below. I work in Hackney for god's sake. It would be unethical and dishonest.

I am into TOTAL EQUALITY. However, I do have major issues and concerns with one group of people but I'm afraid I have to keep these thoughts to myself. There is one religion who goes out of its way to undermine women. I saw a documentary once about a young woman that was beaten to death by all of the men in her village because she fell in love with the wrong person. They killed her beat her, kicked, threw stones at her. It was horrific.
A girl I lived with at Dartington College of Arts is Jewish and she told about how her mother was subjected to some really vicious racism from her next door neighbour. He believe it or not was a retired policeman, he would come out of his house and shout at her calling her a 'Jewish whore' and other really nasty anti-Semitic comments. She was a single mother bringing up two young girls all on her own. She was frightened.
Racism exists at the school I work at. I delivered a scheme of work on the Holocaust and the black children that I teach told me how much they hate Jews. I was gobsmacked and actually very offended by their comments. I have tried hard to rectify their bizarre opinion of Jews and I have to say that I have failed to make them see sense. It is something I have brought up with the senior leadership team and I am still waiting to see what action they take. The kids' views are strong and they are almost like cement - they won't go away.
As I type this I am watching a documentary on the Holocaust. God it's disturbing. I really dislike bigots and I really dislike the views of the children that I teach, obviously these views come from their homes. It's terrible.

Hello, is that Tommy Tom Tom?
Hello, is that Tommy Tom Tom?No, actually it's me Catriona Backenzie from Tottenham Hale.
Just to give you all an update I have handed in my notice in at school, and guess what I don't have a job to go to. That school was killing me professionally, emotionally. I feel damaged by the constant abuse from the kids/staff. I am getting fat, I'm drinking too much. I hate the way I look at the moment I am probably depressed. I am damaged I need a good school, not one that kicks you.
I get paid up until August 31st which is some relief. The problem is, coz like, like coz, I have already been to two teaching interviews and the competition is fierce. Like my neighbours dog, Pepsi the poodle. I am sick of its barking.
My hair is brown now, like my soul, shit stained.

Middle Classes are under Fire - The Poor are Indulged.
Maybe I am selfish, maybe we all are. I will be thirty six in June. I cannot afford to have a kid. When (fingers crossed) we move into our new flat in Croydon, our outgoings will be the following:
1). rent and mortgage combined £1098.00 we will be owning 55% of the property and have to pay rent on it, as well as a sliding service charge for the lift, which starts at £150.00.
2). Council tax roughly £120.00
3). Gas and electric £60.00 combined.
4). Season ticket £156.00.
5). Phone Bill £30.00
My income £1723.00.
Read the following article below by the Telegraph.
It is the middle classes who pay under this Labour Government, Alice Thomson argues in today's opinion section.
She says the rich are allowed to get away with not paying their way in modern Britain, perhaps because Labour is afraid to upset them.
Meanwhile, the poor are indulged every step of the way, Alice says. They are being offered personal trainers, nannies and a wealth of tax credits without being expected to take on any responsibility in return.
It is the people in the middle who are expected to pick up the burden neglected by rich and poor. Taxes are rising, nanny-state meddling is spreading and public services are collapsing.
Do you agree with Alice? Are you feeling squeezed by Labour? How would you fix the situation?
Should the rich pay more tax? Should the poor get fewer benefits?
How did this situation come about? Did it start with the Labour Government or was the rot setting in before that?
