Lox,
"Can you explain the relevance of my nationality? I ask as you have brought it up twice?"

Only that Ireland, like Kent and Hertford, are very remote from these events.
I would not express an opinion.
I rely on the testimony of those intimately involved.

Jim,
"refusing to say whether he believes the deplorable picture he paints of Paskistani life in Britain is local, town-based, city-based or national."

I have painted no deplorable picture.
My opinion and experience is as yours, of a peacable, industrious and law abiding people.
I keep telling you all that it is only a tiny minority who are making this a crime of mainly BPs, as far as we know in just these Northern towns and cities.
