Mock outrage at Prince Harry
Islamic pressure groups, newspapers and David Camoron have lined up to express mock outrage at Prince Harry calling one of his asian army friends a paki another, a raghead.
The Torygraph has a copy of the mobile phone videos recorded by Harry three years ago, courtesy of the News of the World, in its article about the mock outrage of the father of the soldier Harry calls a paki. The videos confirm my immediate thoughts – that it was friendly banter between friends. At the end of the video an asian asks Harry if he has ginger pubes, to which Harry replies “yes”. Where is the mock outrage at the gingerism?
David Camoron was the first politician to express his mock outrage, saying it was “a completely unacceptable thing to say” while Nick Cleggover was hot on his heels, saying it would have caused “considerable offence”. He didn’t look offended.
What people like Camoron and Cleggover don’t realise is that asians call each other names all the time, including paki and raghead. In one of my previous jobs the Indians called the Pakistani’s “paki” all the time and the Pakistani’s called the Indians “paki” to wind them up. All harmless banter and nobody took offence as, I suspect, is the case with the asians in Prince Harry’s videos.

Interestingly, Keith Vaz was on radio 4 this morning with a welsh guy and the welsh guy said, ‘In my army days, we got called Taffies and the scots got called Jocks, what’s the difference?’
And apparently there is a difference?!?!?!?
So……
You will all have to stop calling me a jock, a smelly sock or any other offensive trans-tweedian term, except for ones that i choose myself and my term of address is “Porridge Wog”
Also, does ‘paki’ not mean something, like beloved of god, that is pakistan = gods favourite country
January 12th, 2009 at 9:49 amThis (and no doubt other) little ‘Trinkets’ has been held back for three years until McLabour would need a ‘news’ story that would hog all the headlines for days and help to bury that and all the other McLabour/EU created shit thats happening in this country – for example this week, the EUSSR starting to make moves to seize McBritish Oil and Gas reserves.
McLabours lapdogs in the press and media will always have some little ‘Gem’ kept back in reserve for times like this and its just a phone call away from one of Broons puppet masters, and McLabour know full well that ‘Racism is the new witchcraft’.
“Hes a RACISTTTTTTTTT!…….Burn him!!!!! BURN HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

January 12th, 2009 at 5:04 pmLike many others, I did my time wearing camouflage. my mates and I, all from different parts of the world, different religions and nationalities would often take the mickey out of eachother, some of the coloured lads would take the mick out of white lads, asians would take the mickey because non of us could handle hot curries. The list of things we said to each other is endless and would obviously now have us hung out to dry for being racist.
But we knew each other extremely well and it was nothing more than banter and no maliss was ever meant, as in this case.
This is just a load of people jumping on the racist bandwagon, but had Harry been called “a white honky”, would that have been considered racist. Bring back love thy neighbour.
