NO COLOURED, IRISH OR DOGS.
I saw the above in newsagents ads for rooms to let in London in 1958.
At the time I did not understand what this meant, I am rather older and wiser now.
So, hardly anything has changed, except for dogs and Irishmen. It would be interesting to know, how many immigrants from the white Commonwealth, illegal or not, have been harassed to the same extent as the Windrush lot.
These poor souls , were invited by THEIR British Government (they thought) to a hostile and cold (in every sense) land, which they naively thought was there motherlend, in need of reconstruction after the War, which Mr. Churchill, proclaimed was for the defence of Democracy and Freedom. Obviously this was meant for others since the Empire should not be affected! And furthermore NO SENSIBLE ENGLISHMAN WOULD DO THIS SORT OF WORK AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE WAGES OFFERED.
It now transpires that this fiasco was planned by Labour, aided, abetted and executed by Tories and Liberals in their infamous cosy coalition. In other words, by the whole bloody lot of corrupt and rascist politicians, who now want to blame the Civil Service for this shocking and disgusting policy.
I wonder about Sailsbury and Syria………………………………………….?
Iraq, Lybia ………………………………………….etc etc?
BRITISH VALUES!!
BRITISH VALUES…………
Posted in ANALYSIS, analysis, BRITISH VALUES, Current Affairs, Passing Comments, REFLECTIONS, THE WAY OF THE WORLD, UNDERSTANDING HISTORY on August 31, 2018 by aelagAfter the abolition of slavery, newly freed men and women refused to work for the low wages on offer on the sugar farms in British colonies in the West Indies. Indentured labour was a system of bonded labour that was instituted following the abolition of slavery. Indentured labour were recruited to work on sugar, cotton and tea plantations, and rail construction projects in British colonies in West Indies, Africa and South East Asia. From 1834 to the end of the WWI, Britain had transported about 2 million Indian indentured workers to 19 colonies including Fiji, Mauritius, Ceylon, Trinidad, Guyana, Malaysia, Uganda, Kenya and South Africa.
The Indian indenture system was finally banned in 1917.[25] According to The Economist, “When the Indian Legislative Council finally ended indenture…it did so because of pressure from Indian nationalists and declining profitability, rather than from humanitarian concerns.
I have been paying attention to the British media about immigration, cultural identities etc and in particular to the abolition of slavery within the then British Empire and I am astonished not to hear about Indentured Labour, which in effect was Slavery by another name.
The hypocrisy of the British media knows no bounds, especially when referring to themselves and their values, that is to say their supposed moral superiority, whilst forgetting their atrocities and double dealing fron the Indian sub-continent through to the Middle East (PALESTINE, BUT NOT ONLY), to Cyprus, North and East Africa, I could carry on but I am sure the reader will catch the drift.
What astounds me is that not in one single instance has anybody questioned this British invention and it remains largely unknown or ignored world-wide.
Perhaps some tribunal should look into this, I doubt it.
A triumph of British Values!!!
Food for thought.
