Hoist by their own petard
A group of leftists (staunch anti-racists I presume) from the Socialist party (formerly known as Militant) have been disciplined by another group of leftists (staunch anti-racists I presume) who control UNISON in London over a leaflet distributed in an internal trade union spat a year or so ago. The leaflet had a picture of three monkeys with the legend 'see no evil, hear no evil, etc....' which one faction described as 'racist'. Obviously the other side denied vehemently that the leaflet was 'racist' simply because it depicted three monkeys, but it gives you an idea of the mindset of these lunatics who currently control vast sections of our society. I don't have much sympathy for either faction and I hope they tear themselves to shreds over it, but you can only read this and weap... http://www.stopthewitchhunt.org.uk

Many years ago, Jack, a close friend at the time worked as a croupier in a top London casino. One evening, a Nigerian chief, replete in his beaded hat, flowing kaftan and bearing a fly switch was playing the high stakes baccarat table, loads of money per time, presumably his readies accumulated from "Dash". (For those unfamilar with West Africa this quaint term simply means bribes). Hand after hand he went down and the table croupier simply swept the man's stake into the hole. He was not a very good gambler and apparently, not too numerate! Then suddenly, miraculously, a bet came up! Despite this winning bet, the croupier, as before simply swept the Nigerian punter's stake into the hole, familiar with the routine. Whereupon the Nigerian became rather angry! Eventually, the Pit Boss was called and examined the evidence and decided that the punter had won. He said, "Pay the monkey!" Now, a monkey for those naive enough to not understand gambler's parlance is £500: a commonly used term in betting. However, the Nigerian instantly assumed he was being insulted and went totally berserk! The World has gone, literally, mad................................... :roll:

gambler's parlance is £500: a commonly used term in betting. Only by crims and Londoners, PS :lol:

Also used to be common in the car trade.

Well, there are circa 685 crims in the Palace of Westminster......................... And that's in London.

:lol: :lol: 650 in parliament so I guess you have to be including the London Assembly in a slighter broader umbrella to get that many!
