did i say there had been a vote ? ... what the british people want is usually determined by the representative legislative system we have. our political system does not operate by referendum, and never has. obvioulsy considering the governemtns recent 'crack down' on immigration, the government has decided that the people want less of it.

if racism was due to ignorance and xenophobia, then informing the racists about the object of thier fear should stop it shouldn't it ? ... obviously there is something else at play that isn't being addressed. |
