Its you that repeatedly infers suggestions of racism and stereotyping Stirling when I respond to your posts. That's stereotyping me in its own way.I simply comment (and you are free to agree or not of course) on what you yourself post.If I genuinely think what you post is similar to aspects of analyses of the perils of immigration from 45-55 years ago,doesn't mean I am inferring you are a racist. Just like I have explained why I was not inferring you are a racist when I wrote about ethnicity. They are not automatically one and the same.But,if you are convinced I am and pigeon hole me that way,not a lot I can do.

If that's changed your view of me,I'm sorry.My view of you as basically an ok person (though with views I find polar opposite to many of mine) remains unchanged from when I was horrified when you,as a welcome fixture IMO on general talk (and if I really thought you were a "racist",I wouldn't regard you in that way), got unfairly red carded x 2.

Re Maggie,I wasn't talking about selling off council houses but rather the Housing Act 1980:

"Rent regulation covered the whole of the UK private sector rental market from 1915 to 1980. However, from the Housing Act 1980, it became the Conservative Party's policy to deregulate the housing market, starting with abolition of all price controls, leaving a basic regulatory framework of freedom of contract. Rent regulations survive among a small number of council houses, and often the rates set by local authorities mirror escalating prices in the non-regulated private market". Only Wikipedia,I appreciate.

I'll tell you something we appear to have in common Legal......And that's getting this posting thingy right.

Maybe because I've always working and not on here so often or some setting has been changed on the html but like you I've been cocking up and double posting.

I wish there was a delete option.

As for Maggie's affect on the housing market and the housing act I can only agree with you.

Thatcher for me was very much a mixed bag PM.

Yet more proof that socialists will do absolutely everything they can to stop anyone else having a voice.

Everything except get a job and go to work of course...

Who is voting UKIP... Mainly male and over 45 it would seem.

Or they are older and wiser than the know it all youngsters who still think it's a good idea to vote Labour.

I am interested in the underpinning idea that to be good in some way requires religion. Presumably, this means that the most intensely religious communities on the planet are also the most moral?
