It's horrible, isn't it, when you write an interesting, eloquent, honest and well thought out post and it sinks without a trace? It happens a lot on here. It is because of the massive numbers of people posting. Hundreds of blogs (many of them little more than one-liners), and when you are new, it is hard to find an audience.

I hope you stick around and keep posting. I have viewed with interest your interactions with one of the resident fascists on here. You have conducted yourself with great eloquence and patience, and it is wasted on him, because when he is challenged, he resorts to insult and derision.

He advocates killing those immigrants that he so despises.He tries to argue that he doesn't hate them, but this disingenuous veneer is somewhat ruined with his suggested ultimate solution. I have been talking to him (well, trying to, he talks at, rather that with), and he has constructed a fantasy where they can be forced out via non-violent means (they just need "incentivising" to leave, apparently), but readily admits that should this fail (how can it not?), then violence is the only answer to get what he wants - a white London.

He then likens this to fighting Hitler. True story.

I am English, living in central Ireland, and I have had my eyes opened to the appalling legacy of British colonialism. It's actually freaky, how "the troubles" are perceived by many, of not most, English people.
