Blood for the Baron!

Three years ago I was at Heathrow for the first time in 20 years, taking a civilian flight to Central Asia. As I put my boots onto the scanner conveyor belt, one of the security guards started screaming at me "do you speak English?" I said "Yes". Then he screamed the same at me again. Realising I was not in a foreign country, I dispensed with the deflect-foreign authoritarian posturing mode and started swearing at him in Russian as I walked through the metal detector. He didn't give up, so I got ready to speak to his manager, but staring down several poncey Brits proved enough to avoid further hassle.

A year after that I was in London and some community-officer types walked up to me and said I looked suspicious. My patience with Nu-Lab fascist-fuckery being exhausted, I said "then you better call the police then, hadn't you?". They said "You look foreign." I replied "Oh, really, that's fascinating. Shall I call the Police to prove I'm British, or do you lack sufficient powers to do anything else than leech from the public purse?" Then I showed them the finger and told them to f*ck off back down the shithole they'd crawled out of.

f*cking UK, shat on by the Politburo, shovelled up by mediocrity, living on its knees and nothing to show for it but a weekly Simon Cowell bukkake.

Hong Kong customs, my wife & i were nearly arrested because she had a 3cm silver knuckle duster on a chain round her neck,
the HK government are not bound by there own racism laws & when i used to organise shows a kid was once pulled for no reason by the police (16, not doing ANYTHING) & they strip searched him in public.
just 3 of many things i have seen here, the UK is f*cked, but if HK had the problems the UK does i think it would become a military state & we would all be totally f*cked!

everywhere has it's problems. one of my friends is indian & has always had a shaved head & huge beard, he went to the US expecting to get sh*t @ customs & got none, has never had trouble in the UK either, a friend over here is indian & looks totally normal, gets stopped by the police EVERY day, just because he is indian. in 4 years i have never been checked. i get the bus home evry day, if there is an indian on the bus, no locals will sit next to them. the locals believe racism & discrimination are totally different, discrimination is considered ok here.
thats what im talking about.

Heres one for you Quickfire...

I know what you mean. In Asia I've seen Indians and Africans treated similarly, then in Mid-East it's Indians and SE-Asians being treated like slaves.

On the other hand not much gets worse than being African and living in Austria. Or appearing to look a bit Jewish...

Ho-hum



PS. Hong-Kong dudes nearly quarantined me as a swine fever carrier 12 days ago. Then I got on my plane to Kathmandu, dude next to me was a well-spoken diplomat from Benin. He had a visa for China and had gone to HK for a holiday from India where he covers Nepal as well ... but had been held three days in detention as they said his passport was fake!

filipinos here literally are treated like slaves, saw a local husband & wife with kid about 8 on the mtr (underground) & they had a filipino maid with them, mopping their brows for them with a towel.

Nice one Thundershot, somehow I missed your post. I heard these two thespians are quite popular now in the Gordfather's Soviet Union.
