Lewis Hamilton Speeds Towards £50million-A-Year, Police Alerted
AT last, a new golden boy of British sport who actually wins things.
Formula One rookie Lewis Hamilton has made an almighty splash in the motor racing world this season and with a Grand Prix victory already under his belt, the affable 22-year-old could become Britain’s first £50million-a-year sportsman.
According to the Mirror, within three years, Hamilton could see his income soar to over £1million for every racing day he is in the car. Presuming he wins the Drivers’ Championship, that is.
A not inconsiderable £5million has been invested in Hamilton’s development over the years and now team bosses Ron Dennis and Martin Whitmarsh are reaping the rewards of their costly gamble.
While Hamilton’s own predicted rewards could see him joining the likes of Tiger Woods in the superstar stratosphere.
The youngster, who is currently earning a paltry £250,000 in his debut season, is set to appear in a new Abbey television commercial with his picture appearing in all 750 UK branches.
And Hamilton’s picture should appear in more places than that. Hamilton is the first ever Formula One driver of Afro-Caribbean descent, and we urge police to familiarise themselves with the likeness lest they mistakenly pull him over on suspicion of committing the crime of Driving While Black…

When will people get the fact that hamilton is not black through their thick skulls? Please stop with the self effacing BS and accept the fact that everone conveniently ignores. His mother is white and therefore he is a mutt.
The day I see an AFRICAN driver win the F1 world chempionship is the day I will concede the fact that we have a black champion.

Well Done Lewis, we should be glad for a British champion, i find the racist comments so sad especially coming from the UK itself, it all comes down to you being jelous of him while you are unsatsified with your shit chav lives, i bet Stevenage was full of white trash chav scum like you.
Respect to Hamilton’s father for not letting the racist scum get him down, Hamilton has humilated his white counterpart’s and simply proved it was a myth that white drivers saw themselves as superior and about time too. I can;t wait for a Middle Eastern, Chinese or Japanese champion to mix it up even more!!

Well….!! that was a flat end to an otherwise magnificent season, poor Lewis got it all pear-shaped right in the first lap and then lost 40 seconds due to possible hydraulic problems….unbelievable !!
At least that self-satisfied Alonso didn’t get champion, Raikonnen deservedly got that honour…oh well, better luck next year

I would love to be in Brazil for the race but will just be glued to the TV and rooting for “our boy” !!
I would be happy to bore you witless with my post-war recollections, life was vastly different then and I never thought I would reach that stage in life when one says “….when I was a child ” ..or “..in my day” but it truly was so much more different and all the sadder for it. You could always try sending me an email address because we seem to be the only ones left on here !!

I was born 11th June 1942, my Father was a sent to the TB colony as a young man of 27 and was given 3 years to live because of the disease he had. He died eventually, aged 87, which just goes to show how well the treatments he recieved there worked !! They were pretty barbaric, mainly consisting of brutal ops and you have to bear in mind this was before the development of anti-biotics, other than Penicillin.
It may have been the way he was, or it may have been the fact that he looked the Grim Reaper in the face that gave him a zest for life and a curiosity that knew no bounds. He used to pump us for information on anything new and drove my eldest son nuts asking him about computers as he ( No: 1 Son) is a computer software developer and programmer. Dad was an engineer and motor mechanic and although he had three girls, he may have preferred sons, but that didn’t stop him teaching us very practical things, my sister could strip down a motor bike engine by the time she was 12 !! and I can wield a saw and hammer with the best of them. He must have been thrilled to pieces when I produced four sons and he made absolutely certain to pass on all the knowledge he could to them, but the legacy he left us was a thirst for knowledge and learning so we all still grasp every opportunity to add to our knowledge. He used to say “You’ve got to have your bits of paper in order to get on in life” so that’s one reason I study whatever subjects I can which take my fancy. I love languages, and am currently doing a correspondence course in Maori….only because No: 2 Son lives in New Zealand and we have visited him a couple of times and would love to buy a business and move over there. The people are so friendly and yet careful to preserve their culture and - since I knew nothing about them, I thought I would start with the language which contains a lot of their history, and go from there.
We were living in Cambridgeshire ( England) in ‘ 47 and I can just about remember Dad having to dig his way down the path to go to work every morning because of the constant snowfalls, as I said - I was five.
Yes - it can be good talking to older people, my Mother-in-Law’s father was 106 and used to be a shepherd so he was a brilliant source of practical info when we used to breed sheep, saved us loads of money !! and just think of the chnages he saw in his life -time !! Horse and cart to moon rocket…he was amazing to talk to, but Mother-in-Law is a different kettle of fish, nothing like her dad, closed mind, not interested in anything that has gone before, is happening now or even may happen so “old people” per se can be a mixed bunch as I am sure you have discovered !!

i have been to china as a tourist, much better experience…problem this time ard was technical ie legal…unfortunately i cant go into details…i think ur take on climate change is interesting but i can assure you the current change (s) we are experiencing has everything to do with the lifestyle of the west ….ie the burning of fossil fuel …u dont have to take my words for it …u can visit your uk met office…your finest scientists will give a far more convincing version of the story thn wht a member of tht not soo successful race can provide (joke) …i am really impressed by your presence on these sits if your age is really wht u claim it is …all the ppl i know tht age cant be bothered with stuff like this…i like talkin to older ppl, i find it very enlightning and besides age is cheerished in my culure…i have quite a few “older” friends…if u dont mind my asking where u in 1947?

Sorry to hear the China trip was such a nightmare, would you go there as a tourist ? or only when work dictates ? I suppose seeing it from the tourist viewpoint is a bit like window-dressing, Great Wall, Forbidden City and all that, whereas work ing trips show it “like it is…” I only saw Hong Kong from the airport on the way to NZ but didn’t like the smog which the kids were amazed at because it turned the sun red !!
I agree entirely upon your thoughts about Lewis and his achievements, life is so short it is infinitely more desirable to leave this world having achieved something worthwhile than to spend one’s time criticising the Hell out of everyone else I would have thought.
I thought your response to Pete Jackson was very well thought out and intelligent but fear that this is one angry young man who doesn’t really know what he is talking about and will never agree, or beg to differ.
I confess I never thought of race issues in such a big way before, to me people are people and I suppose it came from being brought up in a community which - for that era - was unique in that it had people from all over the World who were there because they had to be. It was a TB colony and I knew people who were black, red, yellow, coffee-coloured, and - to me as a child growing up there, they were just Mr Antai or Mrs Joshi or Mr Chen Li and I used to wonder why my “friends” outside the village used to talk of same in such disparaging tones !!
“Dominant races” is a bit of a feeble thing to concentrate on because there are forces greater than ourselves at work here the results of which actions won’t care what colour your skin. I won’t bore you with “climate change” but IF stuff like that which is predicted occurs, then colour, race, creed or Bank balance isn’t going to matter a jot !!
I will just say that I think the human race could probably have hastened the rate at which the climate is changing but naturally and historically, there is a change
every 10,000 years due to the tilting of the globe on it’s axis,to and away from, the sun, well….it’s not always 10,000 from NOW, at some stage, and in someone’s lifetime it is going to be 9,999 years and that could be now !!
I can remember as a child clearly defined seasons, Winter started at the end of October, snow fell pretty much up until January, with the exception of 1947 ( I was 5 ! ) when it was still around in June !! Spring was Spring, Summer was hot and we spent all our days out as a bunch of kids with a couple of dogs helping the farmers with the harvest or climbing trees and just doing “kid stuff” Then Autumn came and we scrumped apples and then it was Winter again but now….today could be Summer, tomorrow the temperature could plummet by ten degrees, I have just picked a few more strawberries from my garden making five pounds in all …in October ???? and there is a Cowslip blooming in the field….someone should tell it, it isn’t May !!
Always good to talk to you gawamaka !! and if Jackson is anything to go by, I think I’d rather be part of your group or sub-species than his !!!

Comments on Pete Jackson’s post
Aspects of your post are interesting from a purely academic perspective…but i will like to draw you attention to the following:
1. the current “globalisation” of the worlds various ethnic groups is a product of several initiatives commenced by the likes of you (anglosaxons) several centuries ago:
i. the entire process of colonisation and exploitation (incl. mass scale extermination of races in south america by the conquistadors ) of other peoples and continents was started by europeans
ii. the booty from that illustrious escapade in far away lands made you rich and fuelled your comfortble fossil fuel guzzling life style which is destroying the planet as well as making the people you so cleverly exploited even poorer, you dont care about this…
2. “the schism” you refer to in your piece, i am afraid, is a real scenario. most people dont like to read stuff like this. The swelling ranks of neonazi groups (in europe / northamerica) as a result of the modern rendition of the “Luddite effect” is testament to this. but guess wht my friend, the global economic system tht the likes of you (anglosaxons) have so cleverly instituted will prevent the manifestation of the scenario. Why, well read on…at some point the “invasion” of the alien subspecies will slowly cease…as the balance in global economic output shifts from europe/north america and other satellite anglasaxon nations (australia, n.zealand, canada etc) to the east and elsewhere. this is will happen, it is just a question time….a real saxon will say “nur ein frage der zeit”…this shift might will result in a reverse invasion ie your beloved “english race” will start looking to the east or elsewhere just like the supspecies you refer to is doing now …
3. i agree partly with you “Nations that endure, are peaceful, ordered, and require very little governance and lightly applied laws, are a product of homogeneous ethnicity”….the homogenous ethnicity component is debatable…nature strives for heterogeneity…if you study natural systems…factors such change and diversity are the norm….some people call this stochasticity…the mechanics and dynamics of nations is no different…the oldest nation (with a continuous history) on the planet today is china…from the outset or with an untrained eye it looks homogeneous ….far from it …it made up of over 50 nationalities…
4. you will say your kind got this far through its ingenuity and so on and so forth …you are on the money but did it ever occur to you there might others tht might be better ….one thing is for sure ….the planet will change ….dominant races today will not be dominant races tomorrow….no entity/system in the universe remains static….learn this and adapt accordingly…
5. we (humankind) will do well if we preached more equity and did a bit of retrospection ….the future is bright for all…

“…alien sub-species” !!!??? “..not English ” !!??
a) define “English” and
b) your second name not Adolf by any chance ?
October 16th, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Unfortunately, no Englishman has a prospect of winning the F1 driver’s championship.
Lewis Hamilton is an excellent driver, although I dislike his tactics (as I did with Senna and Schumacher before him). But he is not English.
Nations that endure, are peaceful, ordered, and require very little governance and lightly applied laws, are a product of homogeneous ethnicity. Any other “nation” is a mere political construct that cannot endure, be peaceful or ordered, and requires a tyrannical regime to maintain its existence during the historically short period that it may exist. The less homogeneous the population, the less peaceful and ordered the nation becomes, and the more tyrannical the government becomes in an effort to preserve order.
Examples of “political” countries that failed to endure are legion, but no great knowledge of history is required to readily identify such examples. The Soviet Union and Yugoslavia are perfect illustrative examples from recent history, and Iraq is a current personification of this invariable trend.
Lewis Hamilton may be termed English in a political sense, but he is not, and never can be, English in reality. His Black heritage precludes this. Rather, he is a member of an alien sub-species of Man which is currently engaged in the invasion of lands held by another sub-species through the aegis of population movement.
It is unfortunate, but inevitable at this juncture, that many White people in England will identify with him as he is politically defined as English, and he comes from England. Unfortunate, because every such identification by Whites with non-Whites will help delay the schism along ethnic lines that will, with time, inevitably occur. This schism will result in either the ejection of the invading sub-species (as is likely throughout Europe) or the splitting of existing political countries into separate states, such splits to be based on geographical ethnic distribution (this scenario is likely in North America). These schisms will not occur peacefully, and the longer the period (and thus the more heterogeneous the population) before the occurrence, the greater will be the suffering that will inevitably result.
The English race would do far better, and be far wiser, to support a member of their own sub-species, regardless of their point of origin, rather than a member of an alien sub-species which is currently engaged in actions (population movement and interbreeding) which must, if successful, result in the extinction of White people from the Earth.

Anne: I am curious, I have American friends, “real” ones that live in America, I have been to America but I am at a loss to know what you mean when you say ” because of political correctness, whites are not allowed to do anything !” what do you mean by that ?
KARL - I didn’t say the bit about “whites are not allowed to do anything”, if you read back it was Jason Chin and I actually asked HIM what he meant by that !! I am just as curious to know what that means as you are .
As for economic migrants, I don’t know where you live but the immigrant problem here is real, we seem to have to take anyone who cares to come here and no-one actually knows how many immigrants there are in the country as so many come in illegally. It got worse after a couple more Eastern European countries joined the EU and there was a veritable flood of people came over. Why only here ? why not any of the other EU countries ? They do expect hand-outs and they do expect houses and they do expect to be cared for by the State but we, indiginous Brits have to struggle to get the same level of care and benefits as they do. It isn’t necessarily that I am racist, I don’t care what colour, race or creed people are, and as a matter of fact, I have found in the past that it is actually the non-Brits who have the race problem, but I do find it hard to handle the fact that there are - for want of a better word or phrase - certain sectors of the community who weren’t born here who get preference over those who were !! make of that what you will !!

Well Ann in America whites are not allowed to say words or act in ways that are acceptable for blacks to do. We are discriminated against in school admissions, job applications and such by what we call affirmative action.
Anne: wrote
I am not racist in any way, shape or form, perhaps we “whites” are, or have been, better inventors and maybe we are more intelligent I wouldn’t like to say, the only “racism” I would admit to is getting MIGHTILY fed up with this country being a sponge for soaking up “economic migrants” from everywhere in the world !! “Economic Migrants” my arse, all they do is come here to live off the welfare state and be given houses and so on over and above the needs of the resident populace because we have to, due to EU agreements.
I say:
I reply to this I retact my suggestion that you are racist, actually you are reasonable. Still I maintain that Hamiton and Mclaren-Mercedes have been unfair to Alonso, and to support this I offer the fact that he has agreed to go to Renault again

Know what you mean !! we had a mechanic with us once who was real hot stuff with a spanner ( wrench to you… !! ) but I well remember one night when he got so steaming drunk, he fell through the tent wall and into the dock !! not really funny as he could have drowned but there were enough “happy souls” around willing to jump in and get him out. That’s the only trouble with powerboat racing, getting trashed and being near the dock/lake/reservoir….NOT good !!

nope never been in the pits here.I wish I were though.the things I never got to see or do…Those mini trailers and stuff in London sound like the tents and trailers we have here for nascar weekend..These people are nuts .. sometimes I wonder if they go to see racing or they go just to get trashed..
October 9th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Jason
Have you ever actually worked in the Pits ? I am sure you would have enjoyed that hugely !! I think I liked the Pit-side part of the racing more than the actual racing. London was especially good when you got this mini village of trailers and tents spring up for the duration of the racing week and the atmosphere and camaraderie was great !! That probably more so than many of the others because it was a truly international race. Apart from the Americans with their welded V6s, we had South Africans who came over without a boat or engine and bought an outfit over here ! then some very excitable Arabs and so on…great times, miss it a lot.

Oui c’est vrais !! loosely translated “La nuit, tous les chats sont gris” , which has nothing to do with anglo-saxons by the way, has a variety of connotations and contexts, one of which is the well known quotation from the “Papers of Benjamin Franklin 1745 ” which has a sexual connotation to do with younger men being able to keep older women happy but also one more common modern usage is to do with race, creed and colour meaning basically it doesn’t matter what colour we are because “…all cats are grey in the dark” or …”in the night, all cats are grey” if you like. Also another one along that theme is that ” ..at closing time, all women look like movie stars ” !!
I wouldn’t say I like wise sayings, most of the few that I do know are generally quoted very much tongue in cheek !!
