George, I simply started this thread after reading yesterdays papers and having listened to several stories on the radio and television news in the past week.

Several members answered my question with a civilised response.

The like of "greg stephens" weighted in with questions which required a private response (which I stand over greg) and it was without "bilious racist" remarks might I add.

This morning "PMB" accused me of being a member of the BNP.

So what should I do here, allow these clowns to make allegations against me ?

I repeat, I would not give the racist BNP the time of day. I despise racism, and I if appear inquisitive as to other peoples views on a subject I will ask. I will not be accepting insults from anyone be it it private or public.
