chop,chop. chinee boy no like racist song.  where?  in the ear of the beholder.

You can’t possibly question my sanity when I run clean off the rails over the issues of race, multi-kulture and diversity.
A load of crap that is sinking this once great country. The damn pc that runs amok, the weird left wing solutions that are embedded and cause more problems for more ppl then they solve. And still, for reasons maybe someone can clearly explain, the Brits put up with it.

These folks have questions too.

Why do the rational citizens of Britain put up with the garbage? - Mike, Oklahoma, USA, 27/4/2011 4:09

Because we’re not the real men and women of the 30’s and 40’s. We’re all wo-men, scared to put our comfortable lives on the line as they are doing in the Middle East. Whatever you and I think of them, at least they have passion. “Let someone else do it” is our motto, while we comment angrily from our comfortable chairs. Then off we go to make tea, take the kids to school and carry on our lives as if nothing had happened. On to the next story to comment on....

So the band were arrested for what amounts to celebrating multiculturalism and diversity, I better remember to keep my headphones on while playing blues numbers on my guitar just in-case somebody thinks I am promoting slavery or something.

Pub singer arrested for racism after Chinese passers-by hear him perform Kung Fu Fighting

A pub singer has been arrested on suspicion of racism for singing the classic chart hit Kung Fu Fighting.

The song, performed by Simon Ledger, 34, is said to have offended two Chinese people as they walked past the bar where he was singing.

The entertainer regularly performs the 1974 number one hit, originally by disco star Carl Douglas, at the Driftwood Beach Bar in Sandown, on the Isle of Wight.

But after one of the passers-by reported his routine on Sunday afternoon, Mr Ledger was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment.

‘We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets,’ he said. ‘People of all races were loving it.  Chinese people have never been offended by it before.

‘But this lad walking past with his mum started swearing at us and making obscene hand gestures before taking a picture on his mobile phone.

‘We hadn’t even seen them when we started the song. He must have phoned the police.’

Officers later called Mr Ledger while he was eating in a Chinese restaurant to arrange a meeting. The singer assumed it was a prank – but he was later arrested and is still under investigation.

‘They seemed pretty amazed but said the law is the law and it was their duty,’ he is reported to have said. ‘It’s political correctness gone potty. There are plenty of Welsh people at our shows – does it mean I can’t play any Tom Jones?’

Bar owner Sean Ware said: ‘The song is in no way racist and nor is Simon. There is no way he would abuse anyone. He didn’t start the song just because Chinese people were walking past. He had already started playing it.’

Mr Ledger, who was later bailed, wrote on Facebook: ‘If the lad who phoned the police is reading this, what is wrong with you?’

A Hampshire police spokesman last night said a 32-year-old man of Chinese origin had claimed he was subjected to racial abuse.

He added: ‘If a victim believes that an alleged crime is racially aggravated, the police will treat it seriously. Investigations into this incident are continuing.’

The spokesman said a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing harassment, alarm or distress under section 4a of the Public Order Act 1986.

The man was not taken to the police station at the time, but was released on bail. He will visit Newport police station today where he will be interviewed.

Some of you reading this will I’m sure, be old enough to remember dialect comedians. Greats like the late Myron Cohen come to mind. You don’t hear them much anymore, do ya? Plenty of foul language of course (said as tho he doesn’t use it as well). Routines about body functions. Oh that’s funny.
Thing is, in today’s totally screwed up world, everything will offend everybody and everyone gets to call a cop. Where is it gonna end? When will this crap end?
One doesn’t hear many Polish jokes anymore. Not that they were necessarily fair. But they were funny and one could always change the nationality to fit the company.  Brits tell jokes about the Scots and they of course have English put downs also. Don’t hear much of that either. Ppl afraid of being arrested or worse. Being sued.

Well, I guess now songs too make the racist list. What next? Or maybe I shouldn’t ask.

chop-chop. gotta get to the next story chop,chop.
There’s my racist Chinese joke for the day. chop,chop. Now sue me. (now where the hell did I leave my freekin pigtail?)

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
