Great. I'm gay too. Unlike you I don't go about making disparaging remarks about people from other races or minorities.

I should: it's good to judge.

"Love Thy Neighbour"

Now THERE was a sitcom specifically commissioned by a Labour government to make the public seem like enforced multiculturalism was "the norm".

It didn't work back then, and it ain't gonna work now!

Broadband Speed is a government issue and this wretched government is deliberately under-funding the cable network to prevent people from finding out the truth.

In the BNP manifesto ALL relevant citizens will have state-of-the-art cabling laid for FREE to their door with a guaranteed 25Gb supply.

The money for this project, and many other simple effective projects, will easily be afforded by the removal of certain expensive and unnecessary elements of this unwanted multiculturalism.

Because of the beautiful rural setting I find myself luxuriously languishing in I could not have a conventional Broadband Connection & had to go with a rather snazzy satellite affair.

Planning permission for the unreasonably sized dish was an issue, but I got those garden chappies to landscape around it so the Planning Gestapo were eventually happy.
