"No. There are not Jim. " Yes there ***** are 4* hotels offering 5* All Inclusive holiday" Bed and Breakfast Spa, local trips... Hadrian's Wall, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Tower/St.Pauls/West End Theatre tickets, Tower of London...... all extra to a night's stopover. The Hotel we stopped in in Bayswater a few years ago offered trips as far as Stratford on Avon and a swimming pool in the basement. Weekly holidays taking in Queens or Wimbledonor The Six Nations or the Football Final, or Lords..... Are you totally insane - please try not to be more stupid than we already recognise you to be. "No. The reference was to "All hotels offering 5* All Inclusive" " As I asked, where - Ulan Bator? We were talking about Cardiff - you were comparing British hotels. "There may be to this than meets the eye - the Government has been aware of this for four years." The authorities were warned about the dangers of pinpointing asylum seekers four years ago No reference to "persecution" "Explaining away the attacks by putting them down to Government policy. A reference to Ake's support for racist attacks by disaffected Brits No reference to "persecution" "Yeah - sure it is - we have imagined that Cameron has just described alylum seekers as a "swarm" (insects, maybe) " Which is exactly what he did No reference to "persecution I'm not answerable to anything Steve claims – you accused me – dipstick! I suggested that these "unrelated" incidents - armbands, plaques on walls, red doors, may have been a pilot scheme to identify asylum seekers and where they were living - no more than that. Immigration, particularly the numbers of asylum seekers in need of assistance, has become a political issue, and the latter have become perfect election fodder. Come a dodgy by-election, or another crisis brought on by bankers giving themselves over-generous bonuses, or more MPs claiming expenses for yet more duck-palaces.... what better than our Tess May standing up and saying - "we're going to do something about all those cadgers-cum-security-threats"? Our democratic press has been laying the anti-immigration ground for the most of my life, May has already announced her intention to clamp down on asylum rights.... knowing where asylum seekers are would guarantee a policy of sending them home a smooth passage - no persecution needed - just send them back where they came from as soon as possible - an election winner if ever there was one. Ukip hasn't even had to go to the bother of developing a national policy - "hate the foreigners, especially that lot in Brussels" will do very nicely thank you. Governments who describe themselves as 'democratic' don't 'persecute' - they don't have to - they have the power of the State to keep them warm. Do not accuse me of suggesting something I have not suggested - you stupidly desperate little turdule. I repeat what I wrote: "It is not beyond the realms of possibility that these have been pilot schemes for future identification of all asylum seekers, and, if them, why not all immigrants?" No persecution - just identifying and tagging to make things easier should it become necessary. Jim Carroll
