Apartheid comes to London under New Labour and Lib Dems

Apartheid comes to London under New Labour and Lib Dems

Whilst half a million elderly white people are abused every year and whilst 30,000 die of hypothermia every winter and their homes are taken from them by the State to pay for health care when they are ill, the news that brand new housing estates are being built only for 'Asian elderly' is an affront to all our elderly.

The development, which will provide sheltered housing for 40 Muslim "elders" when it opens in the East End of London has created disgust amongst white working class residents because white pensioners will be excluded.

The Commission for Racial Equality has been asked to check whether the Sonali Gardens project breaks the Race Relations Act but we expect them to argue that it is legal as it being designated only for asians in relation to a 'need' in the area. Once again the racial double standard will apply and whites will be denied what they need in the name of 'equality'.

The 1976 Race Relations Act and its 2000 amendment state that a discriminatory service can only be offered if an authority can prove that a specific need is not currently being met. Though of course 'discrimination' does not apply to anything that disadvantages white people , as they are all rich, overpriveliged and live in luxury homes already - or so the CRE think. This is how political correctness is used as the basis of an liberal form of 'acceptable racism' as long as it is only ever white people whose interests are damaged.

The 40 new homes, together with a day centre, have been built in a joint project by Tower Hamlets council and Circle 33 housing association on the site of an old people's home that once catered for all communities in the area.
