"This exact debate was also had in the national and international media in the days and weeks after Straw and Dando."
It most certainly was not - if you can indicate the texts of ANY DEBATE THAT PRODUCED THIS AMOUNT OF ABUSIVE AND UNFOUNDED FILTH, AIMED AT ANY RACIAL OR CULTURAL GROUP IN BRITAIN to the extent you have produced it here, please feel free to do so.
This is the stuff British National Party meetings - safely closeted behind closed doors - are made of.
