Eliza: Either society suffers when people lose their traditions or it doesn't...

Franks has never answered this one and I don't think he ever will. The logic of his position is that society suffers when English people lose their traditions, but it doesn't suffer - in fact, it benefits - when incomers lose their traditions. In other words, there are two kinds of people, and some are more equal than others. He's never acknowledged this, which is why I call him a dishonest racist.
