"Whiteboy...racist pig" (Catspaw)...I, rather, have never attacked anyone on the basis of skin-colour or race...I only question the act of immigration itself.

Again!

Wavy - apart from yourself, no one is under any illusions, here or anywhere else for that matter, on the issue of your racism. You are a proven racist whose misanthropic delusions have you living in a country of which you have no understanding. England is not what you think it is, nor will it ever be what you want it to be - and as long as you continue to think this way it will never be your home. You are a free-loading trivial tourist on one long easy idle holiday, barely scratching the surface of the cultural richness you claim to love and yet know so little - a cultural richness about which you so resolutely refuse to learn. Why? Because your personal bugbears and consequential political agendas far outweigh any cultural interests which are, in any case, only ever a means to your political end. In your world - and the world of all racists - ignorance is the wellspring of determination and delusion; it means you might live in a state of simplistic blinkered bliss gloating with self-righteous indignation upon the rest of the world of which you have no part.

We were in Manchester yesterday - enjoying the sounds the city featuring one of those ubiquitous Eastern European accordion & trumpet duos; a young Hungarian accordionist playing a csardas like he was possessed; an African kora player who's a regular around Picadilly these days and a European string quintet playing Pachelbel's famous Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur with studied precision. A cultural richness of the varied and diverse reality that is our England; a cultural richness which in your ignorant racist scheme is a complete anathema.
