You're wasting your breath Pete.
I'm beginning to wonder if some people think the only solution in Europe is to turn to fascist parties and tactics.
I do think there is a serious point for discussion, here, IC. I mean, there has been a general feeling for to long that anyone who dares criticise 'Asylum', 'immigrants', large movements of people' are simply being racist. That's it, no discussion, no wriggle room, you're just being alarmist and the very situation before your eyes, is NOT really happening. Some parts of the UK has changed beyond all recognition, not slightly, beyond all recognition. Now, that change is not all bad, but neither is it good for everyone. The classic for me, is when someone points out 'the different types of cuisine' we all now enjoy, as if that in and of itself is that important that we give up a host of other things, to accommodate that luxury.
Sorry, we're reaping years of the 'silent majority' being told what is best for them, even if it feels alien and uncomfortable, for them. They've had enough of being shovel fed crap, and have had no outlet for dissent. BOOM! out pop the far right, what a surprise? NOT. If you continually make people afraid of open and honest discussion (as we have done) then the opinions that'll eventually surface are, in the main, unpalatable. To my mind, we are getting what we deserve.
