Pip could that charge be leveled at you?

No, absolutely not. I see every side of all my arguments, including the sides that other people see and I don't. Except that I do see them, because I see every side of my arguments, as I said to begin with.

Seriously, I take your point! I may be seeing racism where it's not there. On the other hand, I know that it's possible not to see racism when it is there - particularly in one's own views.

The way it works with WAV, I think, is that he doesn't see the implications of the views he proclaims. WAV hasn't said that he'd like to make my wife take an Englishness test and deport her if she fails - in fact I'm sure he'd recoil from the idea - but it's the logical implication of his views. If you believe 'mass immigration' was bad for English culture and should have been limited, you must believe that individual men and women should have been prevented from coming here. If you think that, then you must think that English culture would be in a better state if those men and women weren't here.

If, on the other hand, all you're saying is that indigenous cultures (including English cultures) should be respected, then (a) I agree with you 100% and (b what you're saying has absolutely nothing to do with immigration, which you can therefore shut up about.
