i wonder if the council would fund a "hillingdon white brothers" outfit ?

Strangely under UK law a 'white brothers' club would if it restricted its membership to whites only would be racist and as such illegal....

Southall Black Sistas though just as strangely is not as is the BPA. I assume you can only join the former is you are a black or Asain sista and the latter if you are a black police officer.

This is an interesting article about the aforementioned Southall Black Sisters:

Complaining about racial profiling, whilst maintaining a membership based solely on - yep you guessed it - racial profiling!

The Independent does seem to be quite lightly moderated - the comments will make you laugh AND cry!

How has it come to this, seriously ?? Southall Black Sisters, Black Police Association just to name but two. Does that really show any real and genuine intention to integrate and do away with the racial divide ?

Personally I couldn't give a fig about the colour of a persons skin, it's the person they are that counts, so why do these groups feel the need to draw attention to their colour and label themselves as such ? Not content with just labelling their colour, they further seek to disenfranchise themselves into sub groups, hence 'sisters' and 'police'.

It's attention seeking nonsense, and it will eventually come back to haunt them.

This country has more than enough problems to deal with as it is, and unless the government (any government ) gets it's act together a bit sharpish , the lid will well and truly blow, regardless of colour, race or religion.

Totally agree.

My former union had a huge drive towards equality & treating people fairly

We ended up with a Black & Ethic Minority group, A LGBT (Lesbian, Bisexual gay and Transgender group) and last but not least -a woman's group

So much for the 'union' part of being in a trade union. We ended up pretty much 4 different unions under one name.

You will notice that white men did not have special group - we were the enemy!!

Exactly Sot.

My whole gripe about this seemingly endless drive for 'equality' is that it's the polar opposite.

If you want to be 'equal' surely the last thing you do is divide yourself off into seperate splinter groups to the exclusion of anyone else who doesn't meet the criteria. Where is the equality in that ?

History shows that in the past some groups did suffer persecution and bigotry in this country
( and still do in many other countries ), but we have come a long way since then. If you want true equality it's simple enough. Integrate and embrace the culture. By all means have a moan about things you don't like or agree with but do it within that society, not outside of it.

Call me biased but I honestly believe the UK is one of the most tolerant countries on earth, but I can't help thinking that tolerance is being exploited to breaking point by some. It won't be a pretty sight when the dam finally breaks. Politicians from all sides seem content for now to stick a plaster over a gaping wound in the hope they can pass the blame on to the next incompetent bunch of chancers who get elected.

We are all in this together after all

Well said

Lets be careful out there !

The irony is, that all this enforced and legalised tolerance of any 'minority' is not reciprocated in any towards anyone, or anything that is part of a majority normality. The 'normal, and the 'majority' are disadvantaged and penalised in favour of the abnormal and minorities.

For example, I suspect that the vast majority of the public, and true scientists, do not accept the mythical doctrine of man-made global warming/climate change. But that doesn't stop the disciples of the green religion from denigrating and insulting everyone who disagrees with their belief system. There is no tolerance whatsoever extended towards non-believers of the green religion; on the contrary, the full force of the law is applied to ensure compliance with the effective worship of Gaia.

One of the major victims of the politically correct equality agenda is truth. The blatant and obvious truth is denied in favour of emphasising the abnormal and the untruthful. As with the man-made global warming/climate change myth, the disciples of Gaia will not even look at any evidence that casts doubt on their preferred belief system; any truthful evidence has to be hidden and denied, whilst lies and deceit are manufactured and conspired via secret emails to provide 'evidence' in favour of their religion.

This burying of truth in favour of enforced toleration of lies, deceit, abnormality and corruption is the bedrock of the Marxist politically correctness that afflicts us all at every level these days. To be white, male, in a life-long stable marriage, a non-believer in Gaia, and having small 'c' conservative values marks the individual out as an intolerant extremist who has to be forcibly re-programmed to tolerate the abnormal and the untrue.
