I cannot believe the amount of negative comments. He's not "complaining", that's such a simplification of his message. He's calling for change.

[thelizzyj28]

British imperialism holds down his home country, he tries to make the most of his situation and yet is still confronted with institutionalised racism... sorry guys but I think that I'd be a little bitter.

you obviously dont live here any more ? you wouldnt dwell with the english demonic people ? heres the thing , im betting that you do ?

[neil hedges]

[neil hedges]

hardly shakespear is it ?im going to cuss . about the lateness of my bus , it could seperate us , i just mite be late ,give me a chance to jettison my hate ,you may think i talk too much ,maybe i do as such , at least i aint gripping my crutch , spitting shit i been told by preachers teachers and twisted speakers , listen to your hearts , this is a fantastic country , i have two sons who convince me of this , in the words of steinbeck , if you dont like it , ryan air is cheap !!!!!

[neil hedges]

demonic is sad my friend, with this where will it end ? brother on brother , gun or knife ,i dont recall any doctrine calling to take a life , hate this country as much as you like in the wordsof norman tebittt get on your bike

[neil hedges]

and demons ? hatred is all consuming and rarely productive ! i come from a place called hadley , where all elements of community got on famously ,indian , english , jamaican and pakistani , we all lived together comfortably ,some of us ended up as steel erectors , one or two as managing directors ,yes one or two went off the rails , transgressions sent them to jail,theres good and bad in every race , dont judge an english man by his face indoctrination is the demon , that all rhymed by the way

[neil hedges]

if inglan is such a bitch how come so many are prepared to suckle her ? he fails to mention that he is free to dump vitriol into a country that is fair and free , leave the 70s behind , the spg are long gone , thankfully 

[Hexachloraphine]

inglan is an venetian oligarchy with institutionalized thuggery and oppression.

read webster tarpley's [against oligarchy] especially the bits about britain for historical origins of ruling class corruption
