Too many?
This is quite a lively debate on the topic of asylum seekers near bicester in the UK. Are you for or against the current government policy on asylum seekers. Are we doing our bit, or have we done more than enough?

So this is it the French have finally decided to succumb to closing the Sangatte camp, on the grounds that we in the UK accept half. Why? Have we not got enough ‘British Citizens’ already?

| 06-5-2008 | There is no such thing as an asylum seeker. These aliens want to come here and take for free what the people of this country have built. They take advantage of the goodwill of the people of Britain.
They are parasites and scroungers, this is the bottom line. They have no integrity to whatever ...more | Maz |

Of course I am taking examples from the lunatic fringe because you are blindly doing exactly the same thing with your assessment of Africans. To stain all Africans with the actions of a tiny minority who exercise tyranny and violence over others is no different to holding all European...more | Sam |
| 04-5-2008 | Mike, my argument is based on the idea that its not productive, accurate or fair to assume an individual will inevitably conform to a stereotype of their race or nationality. Physical characteristics are not comparable to behavioural traits because within a racially uniform population behaviour vari...more | Sam |
| 04-5-2008 | Sam, your whole argument is based on the statement that races and nationalities do not conform to stereotypes. The fact is that they do. Most people of Teutonic background are tall and fair skinned, most people of Middle Eastern background are darker and swarthy complexioned with larger noses, peop...more | MikeP |

To say that Africans are incapable of governing their countries without bloodshed and misery is to assume that trait of any African picked at random from the entire continent on the basis of isolated factions, in isolated states within it. Am I to assume that you Mike, as a European, ...more | Sam |
| 02-5-2008 | I don't think the definition of racism is particularly debatable: It is prejudice on the basis of race. When you presume the motives or character of an individual you don't know to be the same or similar to those of someone with whom they share ethnicity then you are making a prejudged assum...more | Sam |
| 30-4-2008 | Karl : It depends what you mean by racist. If I go and beat up a man who is walking down the street, purely on the basis that he is a different colour or nationality, that is racist behaviour and as such deplorable. So would be refusing to employ him purely on the basis of his colour.
I have ...more | MikeP |
| 30-4-2008 | What is actually wrong about being a racist? I see racism in a form of light, how different cultures look at situations. For example, although we share a common language, I believe I have more in common with an Aborigni than an American.
To live in harmony and love one another is a total myth, ...more | Karl |
| 30-4-2008 | Sam : we will never agree. I respect your views, which are coherent and well expounded, unlike many other 'contributors' on this site, but your definition of 'racism', which allows you to refer to Enoch Powell as racist, differs from mine.
The man was not, in my view, racist, a...more | MikeP |
| 30-4-2008 | Firstly, I'm not a 'leftie'. I despise what the left wing establishment has done to the liberties and operation of this nation. Choosing not to oppose immigration does not make someone left wing, just as opposing it does not make someone right wing. It is rather sweeping for you to assum...more | Sam |
| 19-4-2008 | Long before Powell made his speech - which ought to be issued to every home in the land, since I rarely hear it quoted anything other than completely inaccurately - there was a code of silence about immigration. Long before we knew the term "political correctness", it was viewed as simply ...more | MikeP |
| 19-4-2008 | Some of you little lefties should read this editorial in today's Telegraph. It confirms how right Enoch Powell was. If saying so makes me, in your view, racist, then I'm racist, and proudly so.
Part 1:
Sunday is the 40th anniversary of perhaps the most significant speech made in British...more | MikeP |
