    How far back can we take it and why?

    I also think its crucial to differentiate, again, racism and uncontrolled immigration. :)

    I'm sorry the argument has not addressed the OP question. No, I'm not racist but would prefer Britain without immigrants. Does that make sense?

    Why would you prefer Britain without immigrants? I could throw a hundred reasons at you, but just interested for your opinions?

    Good grief! That one's got everything! Sexism, homophobia and racism in both directions.

    Jesus if you think we're racist you want to go to Germany and see how much the Germans hate their immigrants
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Thank you for your response.

    A blanket ban on all immigrants?

    Also, how far back do you think we can take this? And why?

    Yes and I would prefer to be millionaire, have a model wife and drive an Aston Martin to work.

    And there is the problem you see. You should have elected a bunch of Macaques to run the country. They would have done a lot better job.

    I think racism in UK is underlying.

    Whereas other places in Europe it is more overt.
