Are you sure you meant to reply to me, there?
It wouldn't be the first time I've [literally] lost the thread,
though : -)

'equals'? Really???
Seems to me they have acquired an exaggerated power in terms
of lobbyism. Our recent willingness to tolerate powerful minorities
seems to have created more more problems than it has solved...

I can only speak for myself [and, keep this in mind, I abhor
everything the BNP supposedly stands for], but sometimes I
literally feel a 'stranger in a strange land'.

This is exactly my point.
I work, as a hugely insignificant minor manager, in an industry
that employs 1.2 million people. In ten years, I've sacked, oh,
all of three people; one was 'white',the other pair were 'black'.
The former had no 'race card' to play, being a member of a
minority. The latter two played for all it was worth, and it did
them little good- as I said to one of them after; yer not being
sacked because of your race, or because yer a Jewish-Mexican-
Lesbian- one-parent family, it's because yer a useless cunt : -))

My knowledge of English is admittedly fairly limited, but I cannot
conceivably imagine a workable rhyme.
