Ironic that Desmond(Jewish) is using the language of hate to attack other races akin in manner to Hitler’s propaganda.

[...] Howdy y’all! Inspired by the recent ghastly front-page on the daily express. It’s an obvious point but I was a bit stuck for material… Besides, I kinda liked dressing up a shite joke in melodrama.

Daily Express owner Richard Desmond has just bought ‘five’ (Channel 5).

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10746025

It started life as a channel famous for soft core porn and back to back documentaries about Hitler.

Is it about to turn into a channel famous for its soft core porn and back to back documentaries about how out of control immigration killed Diana?

A bad day for the British media.

So as of today, Richard Desmond owns Channel 5…this’ll be interesting. I mean, how does he propose to drag their standards any lower when they’re already the UK’s trashiest terrestrial station? Short of sacking all the newsreaders and drafting in replacements from his, ahem, other channels I don’t see how it’s even possible…

“I’m pleased I live in a multicultural society, where people from different backgrounds, beliefs and nationalities can exist together. I feel almost apologetic about saying this kind of thing, as if it’s somehow naff or cliched or will be scoffed at as being naivety of the highest order, but do you know what? It isn’t. It really isn’t.”

I don’t have any great tactical insights into how to fight a racist press, but thought you should know that this passage cheered me up no end after that depressing assortment of headlines. Well said! We shouldn’t be afraid of standing up for multiculturalism – and nor should we shamed by the self-serving rubbish that only a ‘liberal elite’ support it.

Newspapers like the Express don’t just hurt minority groups – stirring up resentment on the basis of, essentially, lies – but their readers and supporters too. It’s not just that meaningless rage is bad for you, although of course it is, it’s that real (difficult, and complicated) solutions to society’s problems are ignored and passed over. It’s a travesty, and an utter waste of human talent. I am astonished that anyone who works for these newspapers is able to sleep at night.

i think the real problem is that the readership don’t think about it as much as liberal bloggers.

probably a good thing really. maybe not though.
