(not satire – it’s Tory Britain!)
Let’s play a game.
Spot the black or brown face at the Tory Party conference:
Ironically, the Tory Party slogan at the conference is “a country that works for all“.
But this stops being funny and starts to become disturbing when we learn the all-white conference this week has voted to “name and shame” companies which employ foreign workers:
I’ve got a better Tory Party slogan.
How about: VOTE TORY – GET BNP!
Or at the very least, vote Tory – get UKIP:

I LOVE these games! How many points do I get if I can find someone who looks Indian? And do I get bonus points if I can point out the Muslim woman with two people leaning (noticeably) *away from her*?

I thing you typo’d the word disgusting in your final sentence! You appear to be one of the utterly ignorant people who play the racist card whenever there is anything they do not like, whether or not it has anything to do with racism. Your actions and the actions of other simpletons like you do real damage to the fight against racism.

It wasn’t an all white conference. Watching the live coverage on BBC throughout this week i saw many black and Asian people there, including today. It is racism to render them invisible in your report.
Yes black people are few in number…as they are at every party conference. One thing that unites the political world in Britain is they all participate in institutional discrimination to varying degrees.
Racism in politics is something we all need to be aware of and our part in reproducing it as in this account.

How many black & asian people are employed by the Guardian?
I hate the Tories but Liberals are not always what they seem.

A historically racist imperialist war mongering party (with a tiny minority of token black and brown faces) spouting the same old rhetoric/lies…….the simpletons are those who are politically and historically illiterate regarding the tories.

Are they going to ‘name and shame’ themselves for agreeing to hand over billions of pounds of British tax payers money to the French political elite and the Chinese Communist Party to build a nuclear power plant in good old Blighty?

Oddly enough London councils are full of ethnic minority employees. Go to any DHHS office and you’ll see the sad example of color people harassing poorer color people and carrying out this government’s policies of cutting services and benefits to those who need it most like the disable. Who is going to shame the government, will they present lists of the foreigners and people of color they employ? Or do they plan to fire them all too.
Do they plan to fire all the teachers and doctors working in the NHS that are coming to take the jobs none want because that are poorly paid and carry a high level of stress and risk.
Do the Tories plan to employ themselves to clean streets, collect rubbish and become janitors in hospitals. How about all the foreing property developers they are using to build those luxury flats that are supposed to be part social housing, but sell for 1/2 million Pounds a piece? How is it, they are using eastern European labor for that?
I sat at Maison Blanc in Holland Park Road to have some tea a couple of months ago and there were only 3 other people in the place having a business meeting. One was wearing a tie and oxfords, spoke in a very upper class accent and clearly was the man offering a deal. The other two were from the Indian subcontinent, both with heavy accents dressed in cheap suits and driving a hard bargain.
The offer was a certain piece of development land in the of high value in Kensington and Chelsea Borough of London. The man with the tie was trying to get the highest price per square meter that he could, the other two were seasoned bargain hunters. At one point in the conversation the man in the tie mentioned the sort of numbers in profit that the deal would make individually for both parties. The Asian men looked at each other and an agreement was reached. The amount was in the tens of billions. Then the question of secrecy was put forth, both asian men were concerned that their names would not reach the council authorities. The man in the tie gestured widely to convey confidence and said, – not to worry this meeting has not taken place, every body involved is on need to know terms. I myself can’t be linked in any way to the outcome of our conversation.
I wonder if that kind of deal was not considered a terms of employment. Probably I did not see what I saw. It could never be proved, never documented. In now wish I had set my phone to record the event. Perhaps I could have driven a hard bargain too.

This kind of incendiary writing, which is, at its heart, inaccurate, does nothing to further our cause. Foolish at best to publish it. Verging on hypocritical. I am no fan of the Tories… never have been, never will be… but if we peddle lies, then our credibility vanishes.
