Dear Editor

Last week a poster was circulated by Swale Borough Council titled "Help Combat Racism" in went on to offer 24-hour free phone telephone service.

So what is the percentage of Swale population is of an ethnic minority?

When they say ethnic minority do they mean people who have a different skin colouring?

Or do they mean some one who was not born in England?

Or do they mean someone who was not born in Swale?

How many incidents of racism have been reported in Swale?

Have there been any reports, if anyhow many have resorted in criminal conviction?

Swale Borough Council and Swale Police Force (sorry Police Service) do not have the answer, so who does?

THIS LEAFLET IS GUARANTEED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS

In the business world if there is a saying "If there is no market create one", this logic applies to this leaflet or "if there is no problem make one".

This leaflet will add fuel to racists who are convinced that people of a different colour are given preferable treatment, it will also help those in the ethnic minority who wish to use the system to their own advantage.

I guarantee that after this leaflet has been distributed you will see more examples of so called racism if only to justify the existence of the leaflet. This leaflet like the Race relations board encourages racial animosity.

So who is to blame yes-good old Politically Correct Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Council and the Police have been told they have to carry out his government edict. Who pays for all this extra work, extra staff, and free telephone not the government but the local ratepayer!

I find incredible that we have a National Health system in the final stage of collapse, Railways in total disarray, Fuel at it’s highest price ever, taxation at its highest ever, countless area’s under water because of flooding, Farmer after farmer being force into bankruptcy, Britain being steamrolled into a United States of Europe an what does Tony Blair do he produces a leaflet on racism, he seems more interest in minority groups and Politically Correctness, I expect his next leaflet will be Help Combat Homophobia. It is about time he started looking after the Great Majority rather then listen to his small group of political advisors and spin-doctors.

I found it quite amusing that the leaflet was itself Politically incorrect it mentioned that the free phone can give advice in the following languages English, Bengali, Hindi, Gujerati, Punjabi, Urdu, Tamil and French. There was no mention of any other European language, African Tribal language, Middle East language but most importantly no language from the Eastern Block countries.

 

Did you notice that one of the languages was English what a surprise that in England when you pick up the phone someone will answer you in ENGLISH?
