"So, if your nemesis hasn't specifically mentioned wristbands being used in UK hotels,"
He started of by saying "all hotels" then reduced it to 5*star ones
In my opinion, it's totally ludicrous to compare 5* customers to asylum seekers - but that's Keith!!
To compare what happens in Middlesborough and Cardiff to luxury Hotels in Israel is just malicious stupidity.
His classic, paints a picture of *5 customers huddled together in a starving bunch because they's lost their armbands - a sort of bizarre remake of Bunuel's 'Exterminating Angel'.
"Wristbands are a very common way of identifying which people are entitled to which perks.
You wear them in 5* all inclusive hotels!
It would not help anyone if all the food disappeared before those actually entitled to it arrived."
This is an exercise in tagging asylum seekers - the way it was done was found to be degrading and dangerous so it was abandoned (after nationwide protests).
Keith and Ake continue to defend it - this has nothing do do with how 5* hotels operate, neither did Keith's starting a new thread on 'all-inclusive-holidays - it has everything to do with how we treat asylum seekers.
Ake let the cat out of the bag with his gesture of understanding for those who target asylum seekers and all immigrants - none of which he has ever offered to their victims.
Those who wish to defend this practice need to do so on the basis of what is happening on the streets Britain - not on what happens in 5* hotels on the other side of the planet - little sign of it here
