Thanks jack for putting me straight. Did l say l agreed with the thread Pondgirl. Don't jump to conclusions. You put that awful poster up!! jaBB, why is it we can't have a discussion about immigration without the colour question coming up. l have a small comprehension of what  racial  aggression is like, having been in NI in the 70's with little 6-7 year old children spitting at me and telling me to go home. Like you I have left the UK because I could tolerate the small mindedness of the racialst bigots, jobs-worth, do-gooders.

Erm, if you didn't agree with the e-mail or whatever it was that you posted why does it say at the beginning:

"JUST LIKE TO CHANGE TACK.


I THINK THIS MAN HAS IT ALL COVERED.  I COULDN'T SPOT ANYTHING HE LEFT OUT." ?

The reason that colour comes into it is because the original story is about the possibility of officers from UKBA stopping people because of their ethnicity.  What do you think they all had in common?  Stopping people on suspicion that they are illegal immigrants on the basis of their colour is racist, whether you like it or not.  Your opening views were that the UK is going down the plughole because people were very concerned about this.

That poster that I put up is a genuine Conservative Party election poster from the 1960's.  There are plenty of people of all races and colours that remember the terrible racism of those times, I certainly do, and don't want to see a return to them.  They are afraid that this is what will happen if it becomes 'okay' to stop people because of their colour.  I guess these are the do-gooders or busybodies that you were complaining about.
