General Election 2010

How about we analyse a few comments from some 'randomly selected' politicians and see if we think any of them fall into the category of 'racist'? I think that would be helpful, no?

1. "They [Muslims] are backward and evil and if it is racist to say so... then racist I must be - and happy and proud, to be so"

2. "We will never win the nigger vote. The nig-nogs will never vote for us."

3. [Referring to Spanish people as] "rag-arsed dagos"

4. "The Muslims are breeding ten times faster than us."

5. "I would allow employers and landlords to qualify their advertisements with phrases like "niggers and faggots need not apply."

6."The orgy of thieving in Iraq has more to do with the character of the people than the absence of restraining troops. And to think that good, decent, law-abiding young British and American men and women laid down their lives to liberate this thieving mob."

1. "Jewish merchant bankers [are] responsible for the ills of England."

2. [response to claims from John Sentamu that there are racists within the Church of England]: "I would have thought the fact that he was made an archbishop with a face as black as Newgate's knocker would belie that."

3. [Paratroopers should] "herd the immigrants together" [and dump them on a] "slow boat to - wherever"

4. "Moslems everywhere behave with equal savagery."
