"Jim, would you care to elaborate on your remark about me being a closet racist?"
Richie; two points.
1 Reading your diatribe against the student demonstration against the cuts I put you down as a right-of-right winger.
2. One of the planks of the right's argument is the money that leaves Britain to subsidise foreigners.
Following your "985 million the government give in overseas aid to Africa, India and Pakistan each year" I put two and two together.
I would be delighted if I have come up with 5 and you are not trotting out the old BNP et-al line about foreign aid, and would be happy to unreservadly withdraw my remark and apologise profusely - until which time, stet.
