So, in answer to my question as to whether HOL has an obsession with racism the answer clearly is a yes... Well really no. Just a handful of extreme right-wing nut jobs who get aroused at images of the queen at the royal variety performance, but offended at seeing a black man at the MOBO awards. Classic stuff. Classic stuff indeed. The only obsession around here seems to be attacking people for their political views. It is funny how people like you defend the MOBO awards and yet would have a stroke if anyone proposed a White awards. No, I've got it. It's because Black people invented music, right? Keep producing these absurd inconsistencies in identity politics and the likes of me will keep complaining.

Disagree There are many issues we face of which race and immigration is one of many,but always top of the agenda because it is emotive and used as a political football, it can buy votes. A far bigger issue,for example, is housing shortage but if you said you would build 10,000 houses in the area,it's not a vote winner and you could get more people against it. Probably why we have the problem in the first place. But tell people foreign people are coming and taking jobs, usual nonsense and you play on people's fears and prejudice. I think it's mainly built on perceptions and misconception as in most cases they don't affect people directly and it's usually stoked up by media outlets with ulterior motives. You would hope that enough people would have the maturity and diligence to rise above and have a more rational outlook on the subject but we are where we are I think in the case of this forum people have rightly complained it is too much and we don't need it rammed down our throats 24/7, it's a football forum after all and shows the support in a negative light (imho) You don’t support Palace. Foreign people ARE coming and taking jobs, which is fine, to a point, but what’s also happened is we’ve encouraged and used foreign labour so that bosses can pay less and youngsters are trained and hired less, or not at all. There is no doubt that the media have blown incidents and issues out of proportion to a point, but you tell that to someone in an area experiencing the negative effects of an open door policy on immigration. You don’t live in one and neither do I, and neither do some of those from there, because they’ve moved away. Most individuals we meet are fine. Numbers and issues are rightly a concern.

If you love mass immigration so much, tell me about all the benefits we are currently seeing.

Definitely not. Such a traditional Tory voter. Tell me Wisbech, what are the traditional Tory policies that you support?

I am a "one nation" Tory, which I regard as the grouping which embraces the traditions developed by the likes of Macmillan and Heath. Strict adherence to law and order in all areas, free market economics, the reward of enterprise, the principal of subsidiarity, a social policy which protects the most vulnerable whilst penalising laziness, support for the NHS and the BBC, support for Nato, support for the Union, the provision of help for developing nations and humanitarian aid in emergencies.
