Labour desperate...

The tone of debate at the Labour conference shows a level of growing desperation, with idiotic slurs about Tories being in league with Latvian Nazis, threats against BNP supporting teachers and 'popular' topics like school discipline and university standards being raised.

I'll stick with my least favourite of Labour MPs - Balls - who has stated that he wants to ensure there were sufficient "powers" available "to keep racism and BNP activity out of schools". The point is, Ed, that it is not only BNP supporters who are racist. Racism is endemic in our society, for most people hidden under the blanket of political correctness, but no less vindictive or ugly because of this.

We need to keep racism out of our entire society, and Labour's record on this is not particularly good.  We have had accusations of institutionalised racism in the police force and there seems general trend towards a ghettoisation of our society, all of which has occured on Labour's watch.

Those prepared to give Labour money get honours and are paraded about as an example of Labour's openness while talented police officers get promoted just so far. It is the glass ceiling syndrome repeated, with checks and balances designed to keep the status quo with home born Brits maintaining control of the levers of power. Labour are no less adept at this power wrangling than the Tories or other parties.

Black officer rejected eight times. Tarique Ghaffur case, nothing learned. Met report - Muslims more corrupt than others. Slurs against Muslim student, Staffordshire U. BNP racism in schools claim.
