Stay away from this [censored]

I don't think I have been so furious in years. Gerald Augustinus' Closed Cafeteria, a blog I USED TO read regularly - they can forget about me from now on - has published in full the infamous racist speech that ended the career of loathsome British politician Enoch Powell in 1968. The blog claimed that this piece of filthy black-bashing, aimed entirely at people with dark skins, had anything to do with the current episodes of terrorism in Britain. This is total, complete, unmitigated rubbish, and shows a revolting inability to distinguish between opposition to militant Islam and brute racism with which I do not want to be involved. If anyone else here has ever had the bad idea of reading Closed Cafeteria, I urge you to stop and let him know why.

I know. I was trying for sarcasm - the sentence should have read something like: "Having told him that the Republican propaganda was out of place, he went and put in some Democrat propaganda. Only it was 1890 Democrat." Well, you can see that it's a hard joke to get exactly right.

The speech has been deleted with all comments. The blog is at http://closedcafeteria.blogspot.com/

Oh, I thought you meant that he went all-out with the Republican proganda and ... you're right, it is a difficult joke.

You know, I was this close to being a Catholic ... well, I don't think I would have understood the first thing about it.
