Take it easy my dear. wink

Unless you are a radio set,you must expect to get a response whenever you put forward your opinion. Thats everyone's God given right,adequately catered for in relevant human rights charters.

The context of the BNP in my post is quite clear-THAT RACISM EXISTS IN THE UK.

How is the queen of England 'half German,half Scot'? Are you saying her father King Geroge VI was a German/Scottish ?

Obama is half Kenyan,half white American (dad is kenyan,mother is white american). So becareful when you say 'half'. Quarter,1/8th,1/16th probably ! tongue

Does she have German blood,likely,Scottish blood. . .not unlikely. I hope you had a look at my link above,the ruling class in England descend from the Normans,who have their origins in modern day France

Samuelson is also seeking attention obviously cos I don't think he could have received 'over 120 strokes'. undecided

A quote from the link provided by Angie
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/the-big-question-what-has-been-the-record-of-previous-scottish-prime-ministers-455125.html

But does it matter now?

Some would have it so. Scottish devolution in 1998 has created some bitterness in England, with the complaint that Scots have double political representation. The "West Lothian question" - Why should Scottish MPs vote on strictly English matters, but not the other way round? - is being asked more often, not least by the present Tory leadership.

These complaints have been linked to the character of the new Prime Minister, with attempts to portray him to the English as an untrustworthy outsider. But Mr Brown might be forgiven for wondering why geographical origin seems to matter more than other aspects of a politician's background? Poor old Bute was a Tory aristocrat, educated at Eton. It might therefore be argued that his spectre haunts Mr Cameron just as much as Mr Brown.
Foreign AffairsRe: Ethnic Politics In The Uk by illusion2(op): 7:44am On Feb 23, 2010
@snowdrops,I think you should take pres-elect's advise.

Argue w/out insults. There's a stage in life when one should make the the transition from juvenility to  adulthood.

State your opinion,back up your points but no personal insults.

Tony Blair is ENGLISH. From the link on Scottish UK PMs provided,Im sure you can't know him more than the British.

AngieFan:
Please leave the Nigerian way of looking at such things at the door. First of all, you are contradicting yourself bigtime. You say Tony Blair isn't Scottish in anyway shape or form and then when I point out his Scottish roots you go off on a tangent about every white person having roots from everywhere else. Now you are looking at Tony's father in order to support your non-Scot claim and totally ignoring his mother who was Scot Irish.
Even the the Queen has a Scottish mother and the English only have good things to say about her. In fact there are hardly any 'English' people in the Royal family including the Queen herself because her father came from a German family. If we all were to employ your archaic way of thinking then we would only claim nationality based on our forefathers even though they lived thousands of years before us in a different time and place.
Actually if you want to really go back in History you'll find out the Queen has origins in modern day France  the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and along the way intermarriage has brought in German,danish and other 'bloods'.

However as per her title 'Queen of England' she is primarily ENGLISH ! And please don't think these things don't matter- the SNP & BNP are pointers to this fact. As is the intense sports rivalry between the 'home countries'. I'm not saying this is the main reason Brown is getting so much slack. .  ,  but its a factor !

Like I said earlier,lets argue,disagree,but do it with civility. There's absolutely no need for personal insults.

I have analysed the run up to the UK general elections and I have a feeling the English resent Gordon Brown because of his Scottish roots.

So tho' we complain about ethnic politics in Nigeria,its prevalent in the 'developed' world as well .

[s][center][size=18pt]Elton John claims Jesus was gay [/size][/center][/s]

Sir Elton John has claimed Jesus was a "super-intelligent gay man" in an interview with a US magazine.

The singer also told Parade Jesus was "compassionate", forgiving and "understood human problems".

A spokesman for the Church of England said: "Sir Elton's reflection that Jesus calls us all to love and forgive is one shared by all Christians."

"But insights into aspects of the historic person of Jesus are perhaps best left to the academics," he added.

Sir Elton said in the interview: "On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.

"I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead," he added.

In the interview, the singer also said he did not like being a celebrity any more because "fame attracts lunatics".

"Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, all dead. Two of them shot outside their houses. None of this would have happened if they hadn't been famous. I never had a bodyguard, ever, until Gianni died," he said.

The full interview will be published on Parade's website on Friday.

I think the selection was OK, but i was expecting to see Bable start ahead of Ngog.

Unirea were there for the taking. if we had Torres and Benayoun on., we could have scored more. we just lacked cutting edge in that match. if they (Unirea) were a little better , they might have punished us at the end.


Torres is a great striker, but he just can't stay fit. sad
we need to improve.
The more reason we should have brought in Ruud Van Nistelrouy in Jan. Ngog isn't good enough by any stretch of the imagination.

I just can't wait for this season to come to an end sad

There's no need to impeach a sick and dying man its a waste of our democratic process. Jonathan is in full control and if he is interested let us allow him play the necesary politics to give him d position. I'm sure Jonathan knows all d intrigues and past evenets show that he knows how to hit wen hot he knows how to take power even frm his adversaries and they won't complain he is expreienced in the art of patience this country shld be allowed to proceed on its path to full democratisation in peace an impeachment can send a wrong signal.
He needs to be impeached so Jonathan can work in peace.

Yar'Adua's clique are probably planning to bring him into the country as soon as possible ,so he can smile for the cameras and we revert to the status quo ante.

So his wife & friends can continue to rule us by proxy.

Either FEC declares him incapacitated or he's impeached . . . .one of the 2 must happen & happen quickly !

Lagosbobo ,
My main guy. smiley

I didn't want to respond cos the mighty Jarus himself says the thread should be for you & ify alone cheesy

However,I must say that I honesly wish every so called religious person could take time to ponder on their beliefs rather than be quick to cast aspersions on others.

On the 4 issues I raised,thank you for your detailed analysis,i think a lot of threads exists on NL that thrash out these things.

My point really was to show that uplawal should not be quick to bring down other people's faith cos we all still require further contemplation and research on our beliefs.

You have taken the pains to analyse these passages of the Q'uran,tho' I do not agree with all you have posted,but my point is clear.

Reading those passages as they are could suggest some mistake (emphasis on suggest),so someone picking the Bible too and jumping to conclusions or sayng the Bible is false ,christians are liars etc is not being courteous at all.

Lets us,spend time on the spiritual aspects of our religion. . . praying,fasting,worshipping. . . .and not waste God given time insulting other people's beliefs.

We can argue respectfully on doctrine,theology,history etc. . . but not think the worst of the other side.

Like I said earlier religion isn't like Man U vs Arsenal,its much more serious than that !

Cheers man.
