As the guy once said.

The one thing we learn from History is this.


Leaders don't learn from History.

I like Elephants

So ye like Republicans all of a sudden?

Remember when I was young the running news story about 3 lads who gone down south from NY State to encourage blacks who were too scared to vote. Turned out they had been murdered by the Klan. All white jury found the Klansmen not guilty. Made into a movie later Mississippi Burning.

Have you ever ready about Scotsboro? It's about a group of African American boys in the 1930s who are wrongly accused of r@pe. The police, jury etc condemmned them to die on the testimony of a very unreliable (white) girl!

That was the reason I got off a well to do Dentist in the states when I asked her what party she voted.

Just cos she liked Elephants she was going to vote Democrat this biTtch has a PHD!

Saw a good documentry about the racial segregration in L.A and the birth of the 'bloods' and 'crip' street gangs.

Scary that after the civil rights movement racism was still quite active in some states: Housing prices fixed to keep black in the same neighbourhoods, kids not allowed to join scouts because of their colour

America is a an amazing country, but pretty terrifying. I have alot of family in the North of Florida and Georgia. Remeber when we were visiting, my cousin explaining that everyone keeps a 'house gun'

I watched BBC HardTalk last week,when I could not sleep,and a former Democrat party strategist pointed out that the States will have a white minority very soon,and that will alter politic's dramatically.

After slavery,civil war,segregation and civil right's the race issue still influences how many folk vote,in 2012.

Sad,but true.

Gusger, "housegun?" there's a small town in Georgia (I think.) Every household must have a gun.
Fines and possible jail-time if you don't.

Oh and BTW Guess who is leading the "birthers" and College results campaign? Yes you're very own power behind Salmond, Mr. Donald Trump.

Juke

Not sure what you call the guy who hosts HardTalk,but he is Scottish,and pretty good at asking the right question.
Insomniac's unite,and sleep over.

Hardtalk was pash, I was more Simpsons World guy back in my stoned insomniac student days and also unreported world on C4.

C4 back in the day was great for docus in the early hours and it should that mad Indian game Kibali

Some parts of Belfast have houseguns,house baseball bats and house machette's........just in case a blood or crip comes along to rob us.

Better safe than sorry.

Used to be an English guy, in his late fifties. He was really good at asking the difficult questions but you could tell he was a bit of a douche

I'm sure I've seen him hosting something else, he's actually really quite good as a host and interviewer but I was always grumpy as fück when I watched it, just awake that early in the morning having to serve businessmen who were equally grumpy and caffeine deprived

Basically most people, including my family, own a handgun. Not being complete nutters; they keep their gun in their houses. Hence 'housegun' a couple were in the military so they had workguns. Never made it up to Georgia, but visited Alabama. More churches that bars!!

I just have a house and three Jack Russells innit and a rabid bird

and a rabid bird
