If we deported all the wogs here in England back to Africa, our prison population would not just be much lower than how it is right now, but the crime rate would decrease by 90% at least. These bastards made London a shithole to live in, alongside the Pakis and Polish bastards.
i take it ‘wog’ is a derogatory slur against black people lol
If we castrated all the sick white kiddie fiddlers we would have a lot more happy children !

Interesting… I’m from the UK and I doubt most of the people I know would have heard of half of those artists – except Rihanna, Eminem and maybe Drake and Lil Wayne…
When I was at school (nearly 10 years ago), I put a Tupac quote on my History book and the teacher actually took me aside to ask me who he was and if he was appropriate to the subject.
That’s because you are probably from cornwall or Tunbridge wells ..Never heard of any of the following .Notorious B.I.G,Bob Marley,Metallica ..Dude you need to stop drinking from the Lil Wayne,2 Chainz,Gucci Mane,CUP of bullshit rap
I didn’t say I hadn’t heard of them, thank you…

@kJ, it’s clearly a troll, everyone knows who Tupac is
Pac was a rapist and the majority of inmates who were surveyed were more than likely rapists. I can see why they like his music.
Pac ain’t no goddamn rapist, dumbass.
Seems I have some prisoners to bomb now.
