"It really is dead simple. Don't respond to the trolls. "
Quite agree Dave (and I am as guilty as any of breaking the rule), but you have to admit they do have their uses.
The importance of this subject, it seems to me, is that Britain - in fact, a large slice of the planet is entering into crisis - a failing system which is allowing politicians to prey on legitimate fears by using racist scapegoating - "it's not us - it's all those foreigners" type of thing
Iain's has just summed that up beautifully in a few words.
Britain's use of racism is reflected in its racist foreign secretary.
Ian's summation of this is "Boris and his bit of skirt" - a defence of racism and a piece of blatant misogyny, two features of today's British Establishment summed up in six words.
We really should be grateful for these trolls and the examples of modern society they provide.
