Bawso was a racket from the outset. I&#039;ve written about them more than once. SBREC was run by Naz Malik (where is he now?) who once called Plaid Cymru racist, because he&#039;d been told to by the Labour party. Because of course all these race grifters are Labour.

Their influence within Labour has grown as Labour&#039;s hold on the working class has been loosened. The two phenomena are unquestionably linked, and one accounts for the other.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[it is hard to keep up. There used to be the Swansea Bay Racial Equality Council [SBREC], Black Asian Women Stepping Out [BAWSO] now we have another bunch. 

How much do they cost the taxpayer not just in the grants and charitable or other reliefs they get but the trouble they cause? I seem to remember SBREC calling the Swansea covid crisis cafe owner and her supporters &quot;far right&quot; - what a joke, which would be funny if one had not witnessed the attack&#039;s on small business by council, judiciary and the grifters. It seems the only institution that isn&#039;t racist is the old Post Office - it was looking to jail postmasters of all colours and diversity. BAWSO was involved in covering up child abuse and separating kids and parents along with SWP.]]></description>

Exactly. Keeping up is too much like hard work. Between &quot;ethnic minorities&quot;, &quot;people of colour&quot;, &quot;Black, Asian&quot; etc or &quot;mixed race&quot;, &quot;coloured&quot; bla bla bla - I just find it tiresome in the extreme that not only does it change every five minutes, but we are lambasted by those who HAVE managed to keep up for using an (allegedly) out-dated term. And turninbg the tables, it&#039;s funny how &quot;whites/white people&quot; has always (I seem to recall; correct me if I&#039;m wrong) been OK. Perish the thought that &quot;whites&quot; should start being called &quot;bleached&quot; or &quot;milky&quot; or &quot;pale-skinned&quot; or &quot;pasty&quot;. That&#039;ll be the end!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[That gas to which you refer in your tweet - SF6 - was a well known toxin donkeys years ago. I vaguely recall various &quot;initiatives&quot; to find an alternative that was safer to use. In all probability the idea was shelved because it got shunted out of plain sight and dismissed/ deferred on grounds of cost. Given that it&#039;s a technical matter most of the wankers who obsess about the green gospels wouldn&#039;t recognise its significance and as it doesn&#039;t contain Carbon it must be safe !!!  Greta would probably inhale it for that reason.]]></description>

I hesitated to use your comment because some will find it offensive, but I&#039;ve included it is because it leads to something that puzzles me. So many of the &#039;black&#039; people we see today, often the &#039;activists&#039; are clearly not 100% black. Some of them look less than 25% black. So at what point does someone of mixed race cease to be black, or cease to regard themselves as black? Or is it the fault of whites, who won&#039;t accept anyone as being white unless they&#039;re 100% white?]]></description>

From the neck down she looks like she&#039;s stepped out of a folk museum. From the neck up there&#039;s that very theatrical scarf, and then the purple hair!]]></description>

That pic you tweeted of LSR in a clinch with some young woman makes me wonder whether she has wandered clean off the piste into some deep virtue signaling crevasse with no hope of climbing back out. She used to be a voice of reason, a good rational counterweight to the dimwits of the time in Y Senedd. What happened ? Is she looking for a job with UN homeless or refugee quangos ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well said, as always, Royston. Along similar lines, I remember my ignorance, getting on for a decade ago, when a new Director for Wales joined the organisation I worked for. I won&#039;t say any more than that about her or the org&#039;s identity. Suffice to say that I had no idea that it was no longer &quot;acceptable&quot; to say that someone was half-caste when describing someone whose skin was a very light (milky) coffee-colour. We were talking amongst ourselves in the orifice one day when she walked in and heard me describing the milky coffee-coloured lady as &quot;half caste&quot;. I had to scrape her off the ceiling. You&#039;d have thought that I&#039;d said something like &quot;I want to hang, draw and quarter ABC person outside the Senedd for all to see&quot; ... or something along those lines. I apologised and pleaded ignorance - which was 100% genuine - but you could see that she presumably thought I was some monster. I look back at it and just think a) it was hilarious and b) it was a good indication of what the new Director was going to be like.]]></description>
