except for you of course. In reality we have never as a nation taken to extremists and I see no reason why this should change[/quote]
Fair enough, Ronnie, but it is my experience as a nearly 44 year old born and bred Mancunian brown man that, as long as I can remember, people have talked about immigration ALL THE BLEEDIN' TIME!!! I re-iterate that there is no form of PC/liberal conspiracy, quite the contrary, if any actually exists. I don't remember anyone positively defending 'my side of the coin' but I have heard 'P*ki Bashing' comments every day.[/quote]
I agree, that is the case at "street level" but it is never mentioned (along with lots of other alleged sensitive subjects) at a political level. So the people who are worried about jobs, houses etc blame immigrants of various colours and feel disenfranchised because the arguements are never properly played out. that's why I think his appearnce is a good thing
