The Arts ...What do all these things have in common? The Arts establishment, the BBC, the police, the CRE...etc etc?<BR/><BR/>Why yes, that's right- they're all tax funded and controlled by our politicians.<BR/><BR/>I have absolutely no problem with blacks, browns, whites, greens etc getting into any of these fields...but I do have a problem with being forced to pay for the latest crackpot dicriminatory wheeze dreamed up by the likes of Lammy. <BR/><BR/>Plus- come to think of it- I don't want to pay tax for the Arts, the BBC, or the CRE. Must be nearly £5bn pa all told.<BR/><BR/>And while we're on the subject, why's Michael Gove got himself a pair of ludicrous Lammy-style spex?<BR/><BR/>Grrr.Mike Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180293743525495466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9373692.post-1130870558329662152005-11-01T18:42:00.000+00:002005-11-01T18:42:00.000+00:00Why? Because David Lammy is a total numpty.His TV ...Why? Because David Lammy is a total numpty.<BR/>His TV performances - especially on dead easy programmes like 'Questiontime' (David don't worry, Dimbleby won't let anyone be given a really tricky question) are 'lammyentable' <BR/>To be honest, I also have a problem with the Black Police Officers Association, The Association of Black Lawyers and to a lesser extent, the MOBO awards.<BR/><BR/>I just do not understand why if 'white' was subbed for 'black' - the organisations would have as much chance of taking off as a lead filled, lead balloon, strapped to Cyril Smith.<BR/><BR/>I once tried to join the BBC Asian radio network station once. As soon as I gave them my name, you could almost hear the application form being chucked in the bin. <BR/><BR/>I also tried to apply for the CRE top job. Well, I reckoned I was at least as well qualified as the eventual successful 'applicant' - Trevor Phillips.<BR/><BR/>When he got the job, I rang them to ask what set him apart from everyone else......
