Miss Abbott, the country's best-known black politician, claimed the format had been deliberately engineered to humiliate the BNP leader
I have to agree with Miss Abbot on this one, even though I don't like the women and that's nothing to do with her skin colour, that's the impression I also got from the program. Hint: he doesn't need the help.
The man(Griffin) has a right to say what he wants that's the idea of freedom of speech as long as he's not inciting racial hatred and if he has then mays well add him and lots of other people I've heard spout simliar nonsense and from other people from different social, ethnic and political backgrounds and where does it end?
Just let the man say what he wants and it should be plain enough to most people with a ounce of intelligence that he's disingenuous and frankly an idiot.
The BNP will never get more than a few token seats and they are more than likely won as a protest and at dissatisfaction with the main parties lack of action over peoples concerns with immagration. The parties reputation and history will see it's insignificance remain.
With regards to population the country can only hold so many people, I don't think it's something we need to worry about for the next few decades but another twenty or thirty million people in the country then well it could start to get a little congested, but that's not only a problem for us the whole planet is gonna have to face some stark choices and encounter lots of problems with the growth in human population and migration.
Also on race, although not entirely convinced with the scientific communities theory on where and who we migrated and evolved from although it's more than likely the case. I feel sorry for people who think the colour of skin should be some kind of barrier between people.
Throughout history nations and races have battled each other but genetically we're pretty much the same people so it is a bit of a joke judging people on they're skin tones or religious beliefs but people try to find the things that make us different rather than what makes us the same but as that doesn't give them the justifaction to impose they're prejudices for they're own ends then it becomes a problem.
One problem I do have with migration and recruiting people with the skills we're deemed to be insufficent with from other countries is exactly that, we're depriving those countries from skilled people at the detriment of that country to improve are own lot? doesn't that sound a little selfish?
Granted it's to the benefit to both us and the people we recruit but what short and long term impact does that have on the countries we recruit from? shouldn't we be encouraging other countries to retain they're own citzens for they're benefit and for they're future development and prosperity and at the same time retraining and reskilling are own workforce?
I was working in a warehouse a couple of years back and some bird working through an agency and hailing from Poland was telling me she had just got her doctorate in medicine and was working in a bloody warehouse on minimum wage because it was paid more than being a doctor in her native country, quite quite sad.
Anyway this is why I was trying avoid this thread I knew I'd end up with a wall of text waffle.
My 2 cent but I just should have said what I usually say, I'm not a racist I hate you all.
