SubscribeLondon Mayor Busts Out Crying Over Slavery
Perhaps Mr. Ken Livingstone misunderstood:
Mayor of London Ken Livingstone is overcome with emotion as he delivers his speech during a ceremony calling for an annual memorial day to remember the horrors of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, in London Thursday Aug. 23, 2007. Standing with U.S. civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson, Livingstone wiped tears from his eyes and wagged an accusing finger at his city’s skyline, apologizing for the capital’s role in the slave trade. Livingstone said London and the corporations it hosted were tainted by the trade and its profits.
He may have thought that Mr. Jackson said "breakdown" instead of "shakedown."
Of course the “Slave Trade 2007 Bicentennial” should be a celebration of the UK outlawing the trading in slaves with the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
Britain’s navy then tried valiantly to end the international slave trade — oftentimes at the point of a gun.
But never mind all that.
There is white guilt to exploit.

If only a few politicians felt this strongly about freedom now. It is easy to feel sad about tragedies of the past (including slavery) but to completely ignore the modern fleecing of our countries with taxes and government restrictions.

This is the same guy who wants to increase the congestion charge from £8 to £25 per day!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/eng.....936470.stm
Ignoring weekends, that could still work out as up to 52 * 5 * 25 = £6,500 per year if you wish to drive into London every day.
Of course, the highest charge is only for large, environmentally unfriendly cars.
I don’t have a large car, and I don’t live in London.
But as Rush Limbaugh reminds us, if we start cheering when taxes are raised on people other than us … sooner or later we all end up paying.
Let’s be honest here. Red Ken is really crying because he wants us all to be slaves. (As does his friend President Hoodie of Venezuela)

Hey Greg, If I’m Not mistaken, Of the price paid at the pump in the UK, 73 percent is taxes.
Not sure what a liter of fuel costs over there now, But last I heard it was around 5 bucks a liter.
And now Livingston has his hands in Hugo’s pockets fishing for a roll of coins.

I swear, “Red Ken” is phonier than any American leftist! How the hell do the British TOLERATE that sleazy wanker?????

A Shakedown Jesse laughs all the way to the bank.
Now, if someone would consider paying us Irish for past misdeeds.

Mayor Livingston’s conjured up tears of remorse over slavery, president Bill Clinton’s conjured up tears of remorse at Ron Brown’s funeral. Will somebody please gym towel snap these two phonies.

Maybe Jesse should seek reparations from the descendents of the african chiefs that sold their own people to the white man. Instead of other africans. They were probably better off coming to America. Their descendents surely are.

Has anyone told these two commies that at the docks in Africa it was blacks selling the blacks. ? How many years do we have to listen to this crap.Abe Lincoln freed ya’ll and all we have heard since is bitchin and moaning.

And guess who managed, conveyed, and retailed far more slaves than the European traders?
Let’s see if CAIR has a statement about it…..

“And guess who managed, conveyed, and retailed far more slaves than the European traders?

Now that’s not fair. Non believers are not human and are fair game for our muslime superiours.
But dont take my word for it, Just ask one of the unwashed shoe sniffing dog humpers.;)
I feel a poem coming on.
We are muslims, We have CAIR
Five times a day we show allah our dariar
We bend over just like sluts, Cause we think allah loves our smelly butts
Give us a bomb, We will light the fuse
We really hate you f****ng Jews

Is it not bad enough that Livingston is the most major anti-semite outside of a Muslim country? How hypocritical can one person be? I guess the Londoners who vote for this fool are as delusional as the Democrats in the US. Scary thought, huh?

And no one, at least not these two jokers, seems to be the least concerned about the slavery that is in existence today throughout the Muslim world.
August 24th, 2007 at 8:19 am
Right on Zeusshiloh! We could also apologize to and pay the Chinese and Hispanics, as well as the Irish.
Yep, and the Muslims, once again, get a free pass. We need to get a whole bunch more oil (or camels)… whichever one makes the Muslim culture so popular for others.

They would be if they thought they could get some money or free publicity out of it.

Isn’t this mayor the same person who was on TV last year dressed in a pink tootoo lapping milk out of a bowl like a cat?
August 24th, 2007 at 10:36 am
1st - I could be wrong, but I think you might be thinking of George Galloway - another clown of the highest order.
August 24th, 2007 at 11:19 am
Could be, seems most of the Brit higher ups are a little strange these days, but then so are ours. ;)

The media mangles the story again. This politician is celebrating the RETURN of human slavery! Modern liberalism is a slave master’s philosophy. Look at how the working class is chained by stiff taxes and quotas and other controls. Every group championed by the liberals suffers when liberal policies worsen the situation.
So this Ken Livingstone is reduced to tears by the 200th anniversary of the ABOLITION of the slave trade, eh?

another inconvenient truth - “Has anyone told these two commies that at the docks in Africa it was blacks selling the blacks. ?”
