"ban immigration" (Tim)...wrong words in my mouth, again - I've said increase regulations, including making economic/capitalist (not all) immigration/emigration illegal, from now on (READ above for more on this).
"Still a lot of deliberate idiocy here and bigoted denigration of English traditions." (Richard)...yes, and good Irish traditions also, sadly.
IB - are you sure I'm someone who's sat down to write before standing up to live? And, Tim, again, surely one of the things that we can agree on is that I'm hardly the only political one in folk and poetry circles, and I think I'll stick with them, rather than the formal politics you just suggested, for now - but thanks.
