People like Defiant banging on about closing a door, and keeping them all out is just silly ness, because if it was that easy the surely the current government would bolt the door now and get all the good publicity from it.
There are international/national laws that we must work to (for good reason), I just cant see what the thugs at the BNP will do to change the situation.
I do agree with you and Defiant (thats want I want an apology for, your accusations that it will please me that loads are being let in when I have clearly state that isn't my view all along) that things need to change but noone seems to be able to tell me how (not even the BNPs website) they intend to change things  |
I think the current and former goverment are actually afraid to close the door because they fear it will cost them votes come election time, wher the BNP would probably gain more votes by offering to do this from people who do not share racist views but are sick and tired of the current situation.
I find it very interesting when these discussions come up in the work place, because the vast majority say they are against these people gaining access to this country. I guess if we were to have a vote it could be the case, but how many of the people gaining access to this country during the last generation or so would vote against letting more people in here I wonder.
I do have sympathy for people who are treated badly, but we can't go around labelling people as "racist" because they are against these issues. I consider the two issues to be entirely separate in my opinion anyway, that's why I was appalled in an earlier discussion on the .com site that I was branded a racist for speaking my views.
As a little side issue to the racist bit, my friend said racist is not such a big issue in South Africa these days but tribal differences are more common.
It's a common label/misconception that you have to be a different colour to be racist!
