He's standing for the BNP. If you don't think thats promoting racism, you're more naive than I gave you credit for.
Do you know anything about the far right in the UK?

You said he had promoted racism, im asking you for proof that he has.
In all honesty I was also being slightly sarcastic because I replied with the same thing as you often do, which is dont write stuff if you cannot back it up with links.
He is promoting the BNP's policies, therefore he is promoting racism.
Fairynuff
How do I know he's promoting BNP policies? Well he's a BNP electroral candidate. That might give me a clue...
I've explained why I think they're getting votes on another thread.
You dismissed it out of hand.
What a miracle! All communist regimes in all communist countries were not real communists although they named themselves communists and followed teaching of communist theorists like Marx. Maybe things are much simpler and it’s YOU who doesn’t understand ‘basics of political theory’?
2. Any owner of any busyness including private schools has the right to fire anybody he wishes for any reason or without a reason at all.
3. Government-owned schools have no right to fire nor hire nor teach anybody.
No they can't. Check out work legislation.
Bullshit.
British socialism in action. Hah! Legislation!
Brain-washed sheep only believe that every crap invented by govt is Law.
How convenient.
Every single Communist country in the world isn't actually Communist at all, because it doesn't fit in with the ideals that Communism espouses.
Simple fact is that for Communism to work everyone has to agree to it. They don't, so you have to force them to agree to it. There cannot be dissenters in a Communist society, so they get shoved off to the salt mines.
Would like to know if he's been suspended on full pay, though...
I think that publically supporting a racist and homophobic party has great issues for a teacher's ability, for more reasons that one.
A black or gay child could not confide in this teacher after he has now come out and supported a party which declares it's desire to see repatriation of all non-British people (whatever the fuck that means).
The teacher now does not have any control of the classroom- even if he is fair and honest, he is now not impartial and any kid who is hard done by him will use it against him. If you have weakness, especially one as glaring as supporting a racist party, then you have no control of the classroom- the first black or Asian kid who gets a bad mark in maths will be shouting at all and sundry that "sir did it cos he hates blacks!"
I think the only thing I find distasteful about the whole thing is that it would only ever apply to the BNP, and not other dangerously extremist parties such as the various Communist ones. It will have to become consistently applied- if a teacher stands as a Communist he or she should be suspended and lose their jobs, because if you are arguing for the violent overthrow of the state it is not right that you are a) teaching the children of the state and b) drawing a wage from the state.
Though, as always, I find the attitude of the Trade Union disgusting in the extreme. You can only be a member if you agree with their leadership's views- pathetic. Especially as if he was teaching his kids to hate rich people, and that a violent overthrow of the state was A Good Thing, then NASUWT would be standing right next to him.
Though my opinion of Trade Unionists is somewhere on a par with racist bigots who dent the holocaust. They should be a match made in heaven.
The ex G/F lived there and she was "racist" the amount of times I had to bite my tongue when her mother called someone a packie was desturbing and I didnt see any non-white people ANYWHERE. Everyone in the community hates Birmingham, due to its ethnic make up and it is the perfect breeding ground for the BNP.
Its a really weird place.......... :eek2:
Bopz
Oh to semi-conclude, thought I may be very wrong. It is unlikly that a black or gay child would be in the class in the first place, the parents in the local area probably agree with the teacher and even though the BNP is bad, I don't think he should have been suspended.
:eek2:
You realise the term Paki is an offensive one!
Yes they would be Pakistani.
Your grasp on reality is tenous, to say the least.
This is nonsense, as communist views do not have anything to do with the children themselves, whereas racist views do.
If it wasn't for trade unions, we'd all be working 16 hour days for pittance.
You really are a dick aren't you?
Jesus Christ! You're not for real are you?
If you think its OK to use the word paki and that it isn't insulting, I suggest you go to Southall and use it.
But I'm not coming to visit you in hospital.
Do you ever get punched?
You deserve it. :mad: :mad:
every race gets slang words done for it by other races, it isnt even a real difference and theres nothing to do with it but you notice it and noticable differences seperate groups its natural human behaviour
ie i get called gora in my town cause im white and my area is majority asian, so they can get away with, of course i wuldnt say paki, even if im with pakistani friend and they use it amongst themselves, and they do, cause well itd be like me using the n word in front of black friends, unless i was in a group that thought they were rappers from da ghetto obviously,
so to conclude, we all get it, and shuldnt ideally get it as i dont use that language, i use half cast cause i was brought up with it for mixed black white people, and my best mate uses it cause his parents brought him up on it, but we shuldnt use it
That of course depends on how skilled you are, and how valuable you are to a company. Free market economics, innit?
Though, of course, I hate to point out that those professions with the strongest trade unions- teachers, nurses, doctors and the fire brigade- appear to work 16 hour days for a pittance, whereas many others with less forceful trade unions don't. Weird that one.
If it wasn't for the destruction of trade union militancy we'd still be at work three days out of five (with the accordant drop in salary), we'd have lower-rate income tax pushing 40%, and we've have the TV being shut down at 10pm. Such is life.
Free market economics is responsible for shit wages and conditions. Unions are responsible for decent pay and conditions.
Errrr...I think thats to with them being public sector jobs, not the unions.
A 3 day week would be fine by me. Taxes are set by government, not unions and I think the telly shutting at 10pm (when did this happen btw?
I'm going to give its use the benefit of the doubt this once because the person involved seems to be too uncaring or unintelligent to realise that they being revoltingly offensive.
The use of deliberately offensive terms justified in such a pathetic way will result in a ban.
