Thank you for that panda.. and my apologies. you posted your “explanation” whilst I was posing my question.
Synchronicity at it’s best.

Now, tell me, did you find Tel’s post to be racist at all?

I don’t think it has anything to do with synchronicity. I posted my “explanation” @ 9.09 am, your question was 9.28 am – perhaps you…[Read more]

Just for Pepper as he seems somewhat confused.

Terry posted this:

What we need is an end to european integration.

The Poles have sent home – according to a national statistics survey – £23 billion in the last seven years. It’s money our economy cannot afford to lose. It’s basic economic madness for this country to allow east Europeans to work…

I think we all know that once a debate is started on the dire economic situation in this country then someone will typically bring up immigration as a cause. It was only a matter of time and Terry so obliged. The only difference between now and the 1980s recession is the ethnic group being blamed. What’s changed? Why aren’t the blacks and the…[Read more]

As the thread was about the future of future generations compared to previous ones, I thought introducing eastern European immigration into the UK as a major factor was a bit incongruous as the problems existed prior to EU expansion and beyond the UKs boundaries.

It’s a well known fact that in times of economic hardship, high unemployment etc, certain sections of society turn on ethnic groups and use them as a scapegoat and blame them.

Hitler and the Jews spring to mind…

And in this debate, it was only a matter of time before Terry chose an ethnic group in this country to blame. But I’m in the wrong…[Read more]

Why was Panda considered racist in voicing her opinion that the way immigration was introduced in this thread was itself racist?

Dunno Words. Best ask Teapot but I don’t think she knows herself and refuses to explain.

As I said before I’ve heard this all before as my dad was a Jamaican immigrant. Just seems the racial group…[Read more]

Lol. You condemn one form of cruelty yet condone another? The mind boggles.

Don’t rubbish the whole thing terry, there are some good points, dissect and discuss (i’ll read the debate quietly) :D

Sorry pol, but I don’t have the time or energy to discuss politics with people who haven’t a clue what they’re talking about.

Oh I’m so sorry for daring to bring my opinion into it.

Surely immigration (and indeed emigration) are crucial factors in most (if not all) things socio-political panda?

I see no wrong whatsoever in Terry being able to say what he said.. I may agree or disagree politically of course (though it’s hard to argue with such cold, hard figures).

But, a statement like this should be…

How can people do this, and the fact they can will surely lead to something far more sinister, people that do things like this can often end up committing murder.
