Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
The question posed was what other countries do not want Brits there (hence why I've tried keeping on topic in my replies mentioning foreigners in Iraq not just troops, and pointed out that the troops are there at the request of the Iraqi government).
BBKing (predictably) stated Iraq.
This is patently not the case.
Some Iraqi's don't want foreign troops there (tends to get in the way of killing each other).
If someone did a survey in Oldham, asking if foreigners should be forced to leave the country, you'd expect them to conclude that the majority of people want this, even if they asked 1000 people (the stastical number required to be asked). Now, they could claim therefore that the majority of people in the UK want foreigners to be deported, yet that isn't the case.
Likewise, if someone did a similar survey in certain areas of Iraq, you'd get varying conclusions.
Gotta love those statistics.
Then take into account the government was elected stating that it would request the presence of foreign troops for as long as required. So if the people were really against that, why didn't they vote for one of the groups stating they'd remove all the troops straight away?
I put it to you that you would denounce the Oldham survey and explain the reasonings behind it's flaws, but because of the emotive nature of Iraq, not give the same consideration publically to the Iraq surveys.
Eitherway, if the majority of respondants in a survey are to have their wish granted, would you be ok with foreigners being removed from Oldham?
