schadenfreude

i don't like christmas parties. i don't go to the works one (actually the people at work are grateful for this). i hate hearing stories about how wonderful the party i never went to was (how come all the ones i did go to were so dire?)

but this is one party i really wish i could have been at. i can just imagine the seething looks on their faces.
whose faces? i can hear you ask.

well the BNP (british national party - one of many far right organisations we have in the uk, they are the ones who are closer to getting political respectability. well they would be but thanks to new labours continued rightward drift the tory party are more and more becoming the BNP..)

but picture it if you will. the BNP organise a christmas bash. a good thing to do - all that peace and love to all mankind stuff. it's what christmas is about, even if it is not what the BNP is about.... you organise the hall, the sort out the grub, you send out the invites, get the dj. all done and all dusted all you need to do is sit back enjoy a great night out.
except - the dj walks in ready to spin the tunes and he is ... yes you guessed it BLACK!
bob garner said of it
"There was a bit of a cock-up. The chap who booked him didn't realise. The DJ sounded white on the phone."
so some of the BNP walked out while others
"A lot of people weren't happy - I wasn't, really - and one or two walked out. But some younger members thought it was a bit ironic and danced away the night."

go here or here for the story.

i wish someone had interviewed the DJ - i hope he did it deliberately to wind them up. lets hope that santa brings that DJ all he wants this christmas, because he has made me believe in christmas parties again!
