I haven't felt the need to post in ...Brilliant. I haven't felt the need to post in a while but this one got me thinking. If you are considered racist for stating facts that are unpopular (but facts none the less) then we really are in a sorry state. If we have issues in our country with people who are abusing the asylum system then we should be able to have an open and frank debate about it. The people who abuse the system just ruin it for genuine cases. They are the equivalent of any type of fraudster (insurance, benefit, identity etc.)and any issue of race should be a secondary one (whether it makes talking about the problem a thorny one or not). There is noting wrong with a society that is able to place all of the facts (if that is what they are) in full view and make a decision in how to solve a particular issue. The case of Cllr Rotimi Adebari (Mayor of Portlaoise) certainly helps to make the case for a bit of blind eye turning when the issue of 'Racism' could be used to complicate matters. If we choose to ignore certain issues just because we could be branded racist(without foundation)then the thought police have truly won.Missing Neighbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04197843120127789666noreply@blogger.com
