[IMC-bristol] Something Completely Different

[James Venables]

Hello IMC,

This is on the thread below:
http://bristol.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=10093&group=webcast

"I suggest you take out the guy in the blue hat first cos hes got no 
hand put him wherever you dumped the DRUGGIES and keep a close eye on 
the black feller (im sure he's up to something... p,s thanks for taking 
the time to photograph it.. it took me bloody ages"

& this is my response....

"I know none of you would talk to those people, & think it's just 
funnier to call them druggies, & the like, thereby just replicating all 
the facist language of the sub-human.
But if you all got off your high-horses, & self-satisfying sanctimonous, 
& thoroughly classist etiquette trips, you'd find that a fair few of 
these people are ex-squaddies & everyday people, with lives, problems, 
brains, experiences...
But it just far easier for you all to laugh at them. At times you all 
make me every bit as sick as the BNP do."

I'm sure you're all going to let this slide, because you seem more 
concerned about etiquette, & my occassional use of the terem "fuck" or 
"turd", than recognising & then challenging what is truly offensive.

James
