I have just seen this. What a disgusting post.

It is well reported on this forum that Delroy Young has had his problems with the NEC, principally over disagreements about Young Independence. I do not know who was right and who was wrong in that particular matter, although I do know that Delroy's integrity is widely respected in the East Mids and elsewhere.

So, these are the facts:

1. Delroy has complained about his treatment by the NEC.

2. Delroy happens to be black.

Now along comes Bob FM, who puts these two facts together and sarcastically dismisses a black man's complaints about alleged unfair treatment by his peers, by insinuating that he must have a problem with his own colour.

"Racist" can be an overused allegation, but in my book Bob FM's quoted post strikes me as just that.

Bob FM tells us frequently on here that he is a UKIP ppc for Swindon. If that is the case, I am deeply concerned that he could feel able to make such offensive remarks, because UKIP needs to be seen to have no truck with racism whatsoever.

Perhaps on reflection therefore Bob FM would care at least to retract his remarks and apologise for any offence caused.

Reg, get a life, that post was made a long time a go and it never raised any hint of derision by those who frequently attack my posts, so why now. Have you simply trawled the pages just to have a pop.

It was a tongue in cheek remark. I happen to be, in many peoples minds an Ethnic minority myself, having a Spanish father, so go and play your indignation game somewhere else. I am in no way a racist, merely a realist who acknowledges there are those who use many things about themselves to their advantage.
