Equality not on political agendas
Guardian: Diversity and equality are not the same thing
Following on from yesterday's discussions, this article points out that none of the political parties here or in the US are interested in policies that bring us closer to an equal society. Slightly off-topic, but only slightly.

So we should champion old fashioned socialism. ie. strictly limit immigration but promote equality for the sake of our own white poor. That's what Labour aimed to do in 1945 and err isn't that what the BNP want to do now?

Equality in every aspect? Bankers' accountability could do with equalizing. Financial equality? Somewhat more difficult. At what point are we equal enough? Seems some use "equality" in the financial sense, others in the liberty, justice sense. If you split "diversity" the same way, the tories are embracing super rich and super poor.

The BNP want to expunge ethnic minorities and halt immigration. That has nothing to do with any form of socialism in this country.
Equality in every sense? Why not? Just because one cannot arrive at an exact definition or because something is hard to achieve, does not mean one should not try and progress towards it, rather than fall back on the lame and the trite.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it, or trying for it, just wondering how... Star Trek has no currency...
