Oldham Chronicle, Sept. 22, 2008
A COUNCIL street sweeper was racially assaulted as he cleaned a Westhulme subway.
The 48-year-old was cleaning the Featherstall Road subway close to the Martha Street entrance at 9.20am on Tuesday when a gang of six Asian youths smashed a wooden post through the side window.
They then rained blows on the sweeper with clubs, posts and bats and hit the victim’s leg as he tried to get out of the vehicle.
As the attack took place, the gang shouted, “Asians rule supreme” and “get out of our area white scum”. They ran away when the victim called the police.
The victim, who has worked for the council for four years, was left shaken and had to take the rest of the day off work.
Oldham Council’s service director for Streetscene. Mark Odell. confirmed that a member of the road sweeping team was involved in an incident while cleaning the subway at Featherstall Road roundabout.
He added: “The worker reported the incident to the police who attended the scene and took a statement.
“As a result of the incident we have reviewed our risk assessments and made some changes to the way our road sweeping staff operate in future.
“Thankfully incidents where our staff are abused or worse by members of the public are rare.”
Police say they are treating the matter as a racially aggravated incident and are investigating.

Just how is one ‘racially assaulted’? Really. I suppose I could begin to answer that in humor, with the various ways one could racially assaulted someone else, but then the list would be another ‘racial assault’.

How times have changed…. Reminds me of the time I found and bought a City Water Board jacket at the thrift store. I could wear it in the most undesireable neighborhoods and still be invisible. On the few times I was accosted by a group of ner do wells on their front porch, ” I would ask them, “Did y`all want to take a hot shower tonight and flush your toilets or not?!?” One of the group, probably the homeowner, would always grab the loudmouth and let me pass by. My brother also had a good laugh swilling whiskey from a bottle unobserved by police ten feet away while standing next to a broken water main. That is… until the real Water Board showed up! Now I`ve reverted to a Safari jacket with a P-38 tucked inside.

They will find that the street-sweeper was at fault because he was white, which is a natural provocation for the Asian thugs. He will be charged with racism. Case closed.

Please note: These ‘Asians’ are Pakistani Muslims.

I’m surprised that the police are treating the matter as a racially aggravated incident.

Guarantee that this will be recorded as general assault / attack & not as a racist attack because the perpertrators are Asian and not white.
Only whites are racist after all.
Why change the way the roads are swept…….get rid of the criminals….deport them if they are not UK citizens……..no I guess that would be racist.
Get a backbone, you lot.

I wonder what the street sweeper will be charged with.

But I thought Multiculturalism was about a non racial
harmonious society!

If this place had a conceal-to-carry permit ——problem solved!

Evidently, they don’t like clean streets. It couldn’t
be racism since they’re not White. They probably just want the
streets to be filthy like back in South Asia.

Un-blanking-believable :(
Sounds like that hood needs a different type of street sweeper, the Street Sweeper 12-gauge semi-auto shotgun.

Asians = South Asian in British English

OOPS! I must have misread this story. I have been hearing all my life how “multiculturalism” is supposed to be so wonderful. Guess this Asiatic trash either misunderstood the message or doesn’t want to believe it.

“Thankfully,its rare.” Yes - thankfully. Easily ignored. Now White “youths” attacking somebody? Heh heh heh! Let’s call in Scotland Yard, the Marines, the RCMP and the British Army!! These rotten, nasty, hate-filled animals need to go back to the horrible countries they came from; they’re just spreading their venom all over the USA!

“Asian” in this context means Pakistani?

No doubt he was cleaning a street full of litter left on the ground by Asians.

Sad thing is that this man only had a telephone to use. To bad they ban handguns over there! I would hate to be the group of “youths” that try to assault me on any given day. I will use my telephone AFTER the smoke clears!

Hopefully the street cleaner(s) will heed this groups call and overlook cleaning this area, enabling it to reflect the inner nature of it’s inhabitants.
Seriousily though, how can you assault someone who there to clean up your mess. Reminds me of the story where firemen in Sweden were requesting armed escorts to help the put out fires in immigrant rich areas that the locals started, it’s just stupid, short sighted and disrespectful.

Y’know, I could’ve sworn that the “indigenous peoples of the British Isles” were white Northern Europeans, as opposed to Pakistani Muslims…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it one more time only. The only diplomacy that minorities understand or will begin to understand is “ball bat diplomacy”. It is far too late for anything else. The government will, in a moment of candor, admit that they cannot help or protect you. You are on your own. Government created this mess, and as usual we must clean it up. When the whites do finally rise to the occasion, we must remember to throw out the responsible politicians along with the trash.

“Asian” = sand-monkey. Arm the brits and their society will resume courtesy and harmony. When a man is capable of lethal force (through firepower), he is typically given much more respect; and he typically respects others who can reciprocate that power.

When it comes to racial abuse in the UK, more often than not, it is Pakistani and African immigrants attacking White Brit’s. Whites have been too cowed down by their own Government to stand up for themselves anymore. It has made their ethnic immigrant population all the more bold and brazen. Most of them now truly believe the country is theirs. And in a very real sense it is, the country has been handed to them on a silver platter.

And we allow large numbers of Pakistani immigrants to settle in the United States. How long before similar incidents happen here?

I don’t know where to post this, but it seems somewhat relevant.
Anyone notice how all the tv police crime shows seem to always be about White culprits? The one I couldn’t get through last night had White crazies in West Virginia doing all those crazy things we all know that those Hillbillies do. But they forgot that West Virgina actually broke off from Virginia during the Civil War because they were pro-Union! Never mind, we all know White men are the perps of 90% of America’s crime and the MSM is just reflecting the norm.

Sardonicus: Americans are begging for an excuse to martyr Muslims and the medieval Muslims know this. They also know we are not limp-wristed sissy boys like the British lads who have surrendered their country and their culture to these insane Islamic primitives.
The only place “Asians rule supreme” is in the dark recesses of Hades where they hold court with Allah (Lucifer) and Mohammed (the child raping Pedophile)…

Evidently, Pakistanis do not want their streets cleaned. Perhaps a wall could be built around this neighborhood and the trash allowed to pile up.

Send Blair and Clinton to a 300,000 dollar speaking fee discussion at Yale. Next year, Bush can join them. In a few years, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Vote Chuck Baldwin if you want to make a difference. Also, call your Senators and say no to the bailout party tonight at the Capitol, millionaires invitation only.

The liberal BBC needs to be thrown out along with the trash.

These attacks are not new in Oldham. What is new is the reporting of them.
The Pakistani population of Oldham are getting ever more viloent. Its only a matter of time, I give it 10-15 years before we see a Kosovo style uprising

I had an experience with a Pakistani once. I was pushing my shopping cart down a supermarket aisle and a Pakistani was coming from the other direction. He deliberately swerved his cart into mine and then said, ” Get out of my way.” I asked him how long he had been in this country. He replied, ” Two years.” I then said, ” Good, then you know what _ _ _ _ you means.” With that he put his head down, backed up, and went around me. If you stand up to them when they are wrong, they will back down. My only regret was that the politicians who let these people come here were not there to see and hear what happened.

See The First 48 on A&E, perps are almost always black:

Sounds a lot like Berkeley.

Enoch Powell warned the British this would happen - OVER FORTY YEARS AGO. I gain more and more respect for him and his insight every year that goes by. I would also like to clarify a matter here. The term “ASIAN” (which I have never liked, it is far too vague. Is a White-skinned Russian from Siberia an “ASIAN”?) means different things in different places. While Americans would associate the term with Japanese, Koreans or Chinese (what in saner, simpler times we used to call “Orientals”) in Britain, “ASIAN” means people from the Indian sub-continent, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Tamils, Indians, and Sikhs. The first two groups are muslims and are responsible for the great bulk of “Asian” related problems, crime and violence in the U.K.

“Asian” in this context means Pakistani?
Yes. Orientals in the U.K. are still called Orientals. An Asian is a south Asian. And these Asians were most likely Pakistanis, since Hindu Indians are generally law abiding and mind their own business.

Why are we even discussing the trivial aspects of incidents like this?
Britain has been a white country for countless millenia, and now a white public worker can’t even do his job without being accosted by some melanites from half way around the world?
Wake up people, we are letting whiny liberals literally destroy Western civilization right before our eyes.

Why do I suspect that this crime will be reported on only one television channel — BNP TV?
