No a lot of the comments I've heard and a lot of the people on the show had some very racist opinions.However I think that it mostly had something to do with the so called threat to house prices(the houses around Deadalus are some of the most expensive in the village) and a few folk exploiting some with irrational fears.I just hated the way that anyone who hada differinf opinion was shouted down.Not what I expected at all.

As for the joke about The Sun I'm not withdrawing it.I find it a very racist paper in many ways and it has no subtlety what so ever and panders to the lowest common factor.
