Actually, the more I read the original post, the more it seems that he has written total garbage.
Areas of London with a 'predominance of Africans, Jews, South Asians, Cockneys or other uncivilised lovers of black tinted windows'.
Just about anywhere in Central London, isn't it? Actually, this made me cross because I was born in London, and I doubt that Andrea was restricting himself to the Bow Bells definition. Although a lot of people born within the sound of the Bow Bells are likely to have parents or grand-parents from South Asia, so double points there. And my girlfriend is 3/4 jewish, and isn't known to drive a beamer with tints.
'European football is governed by a fairly enlightened administration'
???? Just bonkers. How anyone could characterise UEFA as enlightened is beyond me. Sports administration (FIFA, UCI, Olympics etc) is notoriously corrupt.
'dark-skinned immigrants do not cycle'
Just barking mad, offensive and wrong. I am willing to bet that the number of people that regularly cycle in the so-called Thirld World, developing nations or the South, depending on what you want to call it, outnumbers those of N America and Europe by a factor of 10, if not 100. If they don't cycle here, it's because of OUR (Londoner's) cultural and economic mores, not the other way around.
After Andrea's reply to all those of us who took the time to email him, I am happy that GA2G reported him.
This is what did it for me:
"“rather the majority than the minority of (1st/2nd and 3rd generation) of immigrants (most naturalised) uses the bicycle.” How come then, one has to look very hard among the hundreds of photographs he publishes, to see a dark face on a bike. Who is the racist now?'
