I don't support organisations like the British National Party, or other racist groups, but sometimes you have to admit, they have a point.
Speak for yourself Liz. I would not myself "admit" any such mealy-mouthed rubbish.

Let's keep in mind that what is at issue in the Lake District is the question of guided tours. Nothing else. Most walkers in the Lake District manage fine on their own. Why can't the "white middles-class" types who traipe along behind guides do the same? Would Wainwright never have found his way on to (and off) the fells without volunteer rangers to hold his hand?

You could do with a bigger peg than this to hang your racist colours on, Liz. Heaven knows there are plenty of daft "politically correct" decisions to choose from. But daft as they are, they are mostly the result of ham-fisted application of good intentions, and should be seen in the wider context of a society in which racism, and an irrational fear of being swamped by immigrants, is still deeply ingrained. (This in a nation that has happily exported its own population to the far corners of the world, and which grew rich herding humans, like cattle, from one country to another.)
