no other country grapples with the notion of 'am i a racist if i want an immigration cap', they all have caps and thats it. no question and no appeal.
Tho alot of us English seem to have gotten confused recently, we dont need to justify anything to anyone. i remember last year there was a liner full of illegal immigrants running low on fuel and tried to stop in australia, they simply wouldnt let them dock and forced them on their way, potentially a death sentence for everyone on board.
what happend to the UK's balls?Target Savings by end 2009: 20,000
current savings: 20,500 (target hit yippee!)
Debts: 8000 (student loan so doesnt count)
new target savings by Feb 2010: 30,0000 -

If you aknowledgde the non-existance of race, you realise that we're all genetic variations of one-another.

who cares if people are racists on here? that doesnt make them thick,
I tend to agree with Hamish that quite a few racists also tend to be pretty dumb. I think disliking or judging someone unfairly based on the colour of their skin, their race or the country they come from is a pretty stupid thing to do.0 -
The UK has over 2 million unemployed (and rising). I truly fail to see why it would be considered racist to suggest that maybe the door should be shut to non UK citizens (of any race) until we clear some of that joblessness.0

Can I ask a dumb question? I'm going to anyway.
Who are these racists. I haven't noticed any, which has me fearing if all you lot can spot them, and I can't, maybe I'm one of them.
Or are they someone who appears to disagree with the OP? Which means, I'm still a racist.0 -

They tend to post mostly in discussion time.
I'm sure you have responded to one of them in the past due to their anti-Semitic rants.
BTW Jewish people and Sikhs are a race under the Race Discrimination Act but I'm sure you know that already.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
