You notice that....even though it's their position which is the vast minority in the world....that it's always your opinion that's wrong.

Nope.

Also, this common trick of highlighting frigging Hitler and a war from nearly three generations ago

I suspect the vast majority of people holding opinions against immigration would still hold them if Hitler had never existed. Indeed, regimes against mass immigration have existed since humans yet no Hitler....funny that isn't it.

Anyone who actually knows that period of history knows that Hitler came about from far more inputs than a dislike of mass immigration, which was hardly a significant factor in early Germany anyway....in fact the more I think about it the more ridiculous the analogy is.

Indeed, the British people, like most people, were far more against mass immigration in the past....yet the Nazi party were never in power here. So the argument makes no sense whatsoever.

Stalin killed far more people of course but always Hitler.....Sod Hitler and sod this hubris.

Are you Gary Lineker?

My view on your point of trying to link Nazi Germany to peoples' perfectly reasonable concerns about immigration? My view is that that line has been tried by Lineker and it is just as daft when you say it as it was when he said it.

Most of the unskilled jobs are still done by locals but there just aren't enough of them wanting the work. So do you want the work covered but with possible language issues (although everyone has to reach a minimum standard) or just leave the jobs vacant, putting even greater stress on the staff?

My wife came home in tears one day last week due to stress and nearly couldn't work the next day. Stress-related sickness is common.

It is multi-cultural. Get used to it, or forever stay angry, because it's not going to change. People who live in Cornwall are just as able to use their brains and reach conclusions as anyone else. We are not over-populated. I have lived somewhere that is, and we aren't by a very long chalk. We have more people now than when I was a kid, and managing where they are could be done better, but we have what we need. Yes, we are declining, but you are finding a scapegoat and not a reason. The decline is entirely down to our own stupidity.

You do toss out some complete nonsense on a daily basis, don't you?

I no more what you suggest than I want it run by a bunch of priests.

I want each country run by the people for the people, using free and fair elections to select who the people are.

Once done I also think that cooperation between countries to solve the big global issues is essential. No one country can deal with these things alone so we need forums and informed thinking.

Cooperation is a great deal more preferable to confrontation, which is the way these things used to be sorted out.
