so is Visa Vaz right?

At least he did something to promote his 'Asian Community' which is more than can be said about the Polish embassy which does not give a monkey about the very people they should promote and represent in their best interest. It looks as if they are acting against us promoting other minorities at our expense, especially since Sobkow took the post. It is so sad that all is based on the perception and PR and not the merit though.

These foreign racists are stealing work from the hardworking British racists!

but Visa Vaz is too easy and deserving a target.

Claire Perry will be along soon to force all ISP to filter out all offensive words and phrases. Just like she the way she eradicated porn from the UK.

It's not very often Keith Vaz is right about something.

...and he's not right this time.

Even if he were right, I couldn't ever concede that fact to a snake oil salesman like Vaz.

I'm wondering if something similar has been done to http://www.chavtowns.co.uk

That was a hilarious site, but seems to have been inactive and inaccessible (?) for over a year now.

Same thing with http://www.ilivehere.co.uk‎

Oh Goody lets waste time in parliament

Google forced to remove racist search suggestions for British cities | Mail Online

Google forced to remove vile racist search suggestions from its site for a number of British cities including Bradford, Leicester and Birmingham
Insults appeared when users typed in 'Why is' followed by number of cities
If 'Why is Bradford...' was written 'so full of P****' was suggested
Search engine immediately removed all offensive Autocomplete terms
Suggestions based on algorithms and popular searches, company says

Speaking with Matt Quinton at The Sun, Labour MP for Leicester East Keith Vaz said: 'I am shocked these search options come up.

'It is totally unacceptable and I will be raising this matter in Parliament'

so is Visa Vaz right?
