There was a funny incident on the radio, Richard. One of the 'I'm not a racist but...' brigade was on the Jeremy Vine show. Now, I don't have a lot of time for Mr V's debates - He is usually antagonistic and deliberately riles people for a reaction but he treated this one beautifully. The caller commented that she would welcome anyone from the commonwealth but not east Europeans. Jeremy tried to explain that the population of India was the second highest in the world and as a commonwealth country she was suggesting that they would all be welcome. But she would be confused by facts either :-) Out of interest I looked it up. The population of India is in the region of 1.2 billion. The combined populations of Romania and Bulgaria is around 28 million.

Makes you wonder at the thought processes of some folk.
