Thread Name: '5000 Morris Dancers'
Subject: RE: '5000 Morris Dancers'
"prejudice and antagonism towards people of other races" (Oxford English Dictionary, via Pip)...and I clearly do NOT have such - I've only questioned the act/amount of immigration itself, and HAVE enjoyed temporarily being among many other ethnicities on my travels, as a respectful tourist. E.g., if you look back, you'll see I've questioned people from my own country, England, pricing young Spanish couples out of the property market there, rather than just VISITING as respectful tourists. I'm probably one of the least racist people in the world, and I genuinely believe the world would be a better more-peaceful place if the UN made economic/capitalist (NOT all) immigration/emigration illegal FROM NOW ON.
"if you want to live in England you're going to have to get used to the way we do things here" (Pip)...that's a silly generalisation, as the degree to which people in England question (the amount of) immigration varies greatly. I don't mind if you say - at the moment, you definitely question immigration more than most...but calling me a "racist", again, is false and defamatory.
