Subject: RE: BS: Politics and Depression
Allan, the original point I was making concerned unregulated immigration from the EU, which all Parties now agree is wrong.

Someone else tried to divert the discussion on to colour prejudice by questioning my use of the phrase "call a spade a spade".
This terminology is widely used round here and has nothing at all to do with colour.
"Britain is colour blind" I think that is clear, colour prejudice is clearly seen to be wrong, there are many more coloured faces in society, it is no longer unusual to see a coloured person and employers look for the best and cheapest applicant rather than discriminate on colour.....this is a fact of economics.
The colour of a persons skin has no bearing on how they behave, do their job, or on wider society.
