Subject: RE: BS: 'NoTravellers'common UK sign?
The majority of the babies born in London last year were to mums born abroad.
Dublin does not come close.
We have had the equivalent of a new Manchester every year for years now.
Some social tensions are inevitable.
There is a huge crisis of homelessness, and overwhelmed services.
It is extraordinary how little animosity there has been.
Few countries could achieve that.
The biggest problem is tensions between different groups of newcomers.

The treatment of Travellers allows a comparison of tolerance in Ireland and Britain, and we win.
That is why it is so provacative to have someone based in Ireland attack us and call us "deeply racist."
