Subject: RE: BS: To see ourselves as others see us
Given the welcome the people of that great city are currently giving assylum seekers and such who have had the misfortune to be given accomodation there (beatings and stabbings for those of you not from these shores) it would be a good idea if the Glasgow Herald didn't bother with an "aren't foreigners funny" quiz just now. I don't want to get too heavy on this and the original posting was from a Welsh woman but I live in the central belt of Scotland and have an English wife and the jokes and the insults from your warm hearted weegies just aren't funny when you are at the receiving end day in day out believe me I've seen the results.
