Tsk. They don't use "fewer" either eh Bridge? Whilst ever linguistic pedantry top trumps issues, there will always be an England. Your post, in a strange way, was the most heartening one I have read thus far.

Mind you, that you know what they meant lowers the need to criticise? Just a thought.

Funny how my mentioning that Churchill coined the phrase "United States of Europe" has led to Terribulus saying I was wrong, but it was an accurate statement I made.. Another wannabe politician. I didn't qualify it any further so his straw man seems to be growing almost as fast as Keith's conversion from his earlier stances on immigration, racial stereotypes and presumably military fiction.

No. Too far Musket me old lad. Don't be silly....

Regarding the Scotland and immigration; I did mention that one of the Muskets is in India at present did I? Courtesy of the Scottish government, trying to do something about the 10% of all hospital consultant posts being unfilled. I was at a Royal Medical Society bash in Edinburgh recently, (Mrs Musket is the member, I just like the cuisine at Castle Terrace) and the medical school at Edinburgh University? Only 4% of the intake were from Scottish addresses. Apparently, that's higher than some down here. Makes you think...

Notwithstanding that immigrants have, according to ONS and grudgingly confirmed by the treasury contributed to the coffers more than dipped in for a sub, notwithstanding that the tough immigration rules in place are so draconian, families are being split up in harrowing circumstances, notwithstanding that foreign students on visas make universities just about financially viable...

The whole idea of blaming minorities for your own failures and the sheep mentality of those who fall for it just remind us that Germany in the '20s and '30s wasn't that hard to believe it could ever happen.....
