This time next year he'll be sitting in a brit bar in pafos complaining about the price of baked beans and tetley tea bags' complaining about the heat and the standard of local industries whilst noticing an increase in the bloody wogs on the island Ok Yah
Quite to the contrary I very rarely frequent Brit Bars, I have just as many personal friends amongst the Cypriot people.
Regarding being racist, I take offence at that. As a Bandsman I played at the military funeral of one of our corporals who died after a car crash, his widow at the time that he died (1966) was left with four mixed race children. She stayed with us the night Jim died, Shirley died two years ago, her children still call me Uncle John.
I brought Shirley's ashes to Cyprus to be intered in the military cemetry at Dhekelia with Jim who happened to be Jamaican.
I am a realist not a racist, Jim himself said in the 60s that he was against too many immigrants entering the country.
During a tour with my band in the days of Beatlemania (63-65) I was asked By some West Indian Guys in Newcastle under Lime what my views were on them coming to the UK I said that I had no problem as long as they adopted our ways and integrated, they were quite happy with my reply and agreed with me. those were my views then and they have not changed.
