Having a couple of hours to spare whilst waiting for a friend who was coming to dinner, I went onto the YouTube site to watch a few funny videos. What I eventually found was not funny; in fact I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I found some Government TV adverts about catching benefit cheats. Something rather odd about them struck me. All the actors (at least I assume they were actors) were white and obviously British. I couldn’t find one that showed a coloured person. I don’t have a television because I feel that the licence fee is too much to pay to watch the crap that now passes for entertainment, so I don’t see these biassed adverts. I could list all the links to the adverts on YouTube, but quite frankly I am disgusted with the Governments racist attitude that all benefit cheats are white, so I wont bother. If you want to see them type “benefit cheat advert” into the YouTube search box, or click onto the thumbnail pictures that appear when the video finishes. Can someone out there please explain to me why the immigrant population are classed as “white than white” (as the saying goes) and not regarded as benefit cheats? I know that there are white benefit cheats because some of the local “ne’er-do-wells” seem to have loads of money to chuck around on beer every night in my local pub. Is it a fact that the coloured population just don’t cheat the system, or are the Government just being politically correct? I resent the implication that only my ethnic group are regarded as criminals by our own Govt!

Yeah, this is so wrong. Equality for all. Brown-skinned benefit-cheats should protest! Oh. But there is none there. They’re all HERE. My mother said, rather dryly, after I read her this, you should come to Guyana and see what goes on here with pensioners’ $$ and other benefit schemes.

I suspect they’re being politically correct. When an all points police bulletin went out (my home town) for a suspect who was African-American, based on witnesses’ description, the police were stopping motorists who fit the description, who were, of course, all brown-skinned, black haired. The outcry that went up regarding “profiling” would have been funny if it weren’t so crazy. If that is the description, then it’s appropriate to “profile” but political correctness rules these days. And regarding giveaway scams, the news yesterday showed a well fed woman in an expensive quilted down parka with a cell phone to her ear, getting a free Thanksgiving meal from the Food Pantry for the poor. Guess her ethnicity, I challenge you.

I just watched the advert. Benefit thieves are those who work and don’t declare their earnings. The ones over here don’t work at all, just share children back and forth to collect Aid to Dependent Children.

In Guyana we’re equal…some of the most conniving thieves are East Indian.

GG: Know what you mean about pensioners. In Britanistan now we have the lowest Old Age Pension in the EU! It is not enought to live comfortably on. With about 3 million pensioners in “fuel poverty” it’s a choice between “heat” or “eat” in the Winter months. The Government admit that they know this, and give us a £250 Winter Fuel Allowance in December, just about enough to cover one months gas bill out of the usual four or five cold months of the year! Sarah: We had a similar incident here recently. Some young asians were suspected of being involved in a rape situation, so the police stopped and questioned all the asian youths they suspected, but in order to be politically correct they stopped and questioned the same number of white yoofs in spite of the fact that the girl had said the offenders were all asian looking! I remember seeing a TV documentary about swapping children between immigrant families in order to get extra benefits, but they were caught out by the undercover tactics on the part of the TV company. Spoilsports! Betsy: Hi “Betsy from across the Pond”! It does say in the “About me” bit that I’m a lousy photographer, and that picture proves it. So you call the “Necker” an “Ascot” over there in the colonies do you? I wonder why. . .

Sandy: I have been using computers and the Internet virtually since it became available, and just because the TV companies have now introduced live TV onto it they think they have the right to demand that ALL Internet users, in this country at least, should pay the full licence fee of £146 per annum, whether you watch TV or Iplayer or not! Yet another stealth tax by our corrupt Government to make loads of money. I haven’t had a TV for at least 12 years and I’m not in the slightest bit interested in owning one and watching all the shite that they put out. If they try to make me buy a licence for the computer then I shall just come off the Internet, bin the modem, and just use my computer for home entertainment, and then use the free computers in the library to update my blog and other pages; until they start charging us to use them that is! I was here first and there was never even any mention that online TV would become available one day.
