"Bongo, Bongo Land" jibe

19 August 2013

Hello David (Wilson)

Would you like to comment on your fellow UKIP member's thoughts who, I think is 100 years behind the times, with his amusing but offbeat "Bongo, Bongo Land" jibe? (the racist, colonist and ignorant Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP)

Africa could call us,
"Military Aid not Overseas Aid Land" or,
"Colonial Power Land" or, 
"The white man knows what is best for you Land" or,
"Do what we say, not do as we do Land" (our unethical and hypocritical foreign policy);
"Attack first, ask questions later, Land";
"Charity begins at home, military expenditure begins and ends at home and everywhere else, Land".

I'm now on day 19 of my retirement career of holiday, pleasure, leisure and living it up at the taxpayers' expense.

I hope you are in fine fettle and getting us cut loose from Europe to become part of America - our true home and former colony.

All the best

Tim

Overseas aid is cut to boost migrants seeking simply a decent life in the UK!

JOY HOWELL: Last year our government broke their election manifesto and cut UK foreign aid from 0.7% to 0.5%, that's a difference of £4 billion. I am HEARTBROKEN at the thought of how many people around the world will die because of this; listening to some of the MPs and government defending this decision is actually making me feel physically sick.

I've heard the argument that in this "unprecedented" covid crisis we should be looking after our own first. I agree that the level of poverty in the UK is unacceptable (we've needed a footballer to fight for food for our own hungry children) but I have seen no evidence that this £4 billion is being used to overcome this problem. I have, on the other hand, heard of friends of Gov members being given multi million £ deals!

I fully agree with what Joy has written. The government has broken the very law that they themselves passed under a previous leader and PM, David Cameron. The government breaks its own laws AND gives the military and warfare increases above inflation. Promoting and boosting WMD and warfare is now 2% of GNP, while giving food, shelter and clothing to the impoverished of the world is reduced to an even more miserly 0.5%. This, from the 6th richest nation out of nearly 200 and where the rich should be paying much more in taxes to help the poor - in line with 2 Corinthians 8 v 13-15 (the economic basis of the Kingdom of God).

Charity Begins at Home with ME and only me, Land

Would anyone like to comment on the 100 years behind the times and very rude, "Bongo, Bongo Land" jibe from the racist, colonist and ignorant Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP?

Africa could call us,
"Military Aid not Overseas Aid Land" or,
"Colonial Power Land" or, 
"The white man knows what is best for you Land" or,
"Do what we say, not do as we do Land" (our unethical and hypocritical foreign policy);
"Attack first, ask questions later, Land";
Attack with shock and awe before the summer heat or the UN weapons inspectors spoil our fun and put the kibosh on our aggression, Land;
"Charity begins at home, military expenditure begins and ends at home and all over everywhere else, Land".

An African once said, "When the white man came to Africa he had the bible and we had the land, now we have the bible and he has the land"
