divebuddy - //Andy. Interesting that you compare AB debating with school. But, yes, that's sort of what I mean. A bit like a discussion about sex takes a turn for the worse if your parents join in. //
I didn't compare it with school, I compared it with the very specific scenario when a teacher intrudes on a specific pupil-centric situation where free conversation is curtailed by the intrusion of an adult trying to be 'down with the kids'.
I think that's about as far from this scenario as you can get!

//AB Editor
Morning retrocop, tongue in cheek comments have fallen out of favour here recently.
I think AOG meant it, as he has for the last decade.//
Good morning AB Editor
Thank you for the update. It was the first I heard that.
As you have known Mr aog for a decade or more I will bow down to your knowledge as to what he may or may have not meant.
Anyway DB - do you have an opinion? Baz has gone for the "no context" posting style favoured by some (and discouraged in our guidelines). Good title though!
Personally I don't think it's particular xeniphobic to not want lots of poor people who don't share your culture in your country.
But then, it's also not very empathetic to those fleeing for safety.

Xenophobia exists in all areas of the world.
I have lived in Central Africa, the distrust and outright hatred towards those who originate from a different country / tribe is far worse than between us in Europe.
I was in Zambia but just 3 miles from the border with Zaire (Congo).
The Zambian government was pretty much honest and based on UK law/ values , it is a Commonwealth nation.
Zaire however was and is totally corrupt. I was offered a Zairian diplomatic passport and £50,000 for agreeing to sign a document that placed a Copper ore deposit 100 meters North so that it was classified as being in Zaire's territory. I refused to do it and walked out of the discussion.

//If it's "social and economic pressures of looking after those seeking asylum could cause damage to the local area, and then wider" than that's not quite as nasty is it?//
That is an argument that has been put forward many times on this site but then those who support that premise are considered a little more than 'nasty' by others.! The OP title would seem appropriate to the accusations made here.
How very true Ed. Of course the behavior of so many of the "asylum seekers" does suggest that the perceptions of what constitutes civilised or acceptable to the indigenous people of many European Countries is under threat, regardless of their initial willingness to assist. Still it will even itself out, either the incomers will become more European in their outlook or the Europeans will become more like them.

/// Bang a different drum AOG :) you've worn that one out... ///
Why do you always openly pick me out Ed?
There are plenty of others on both sides of the political spectrum that say much worse than I.
If I have broke some kind of site rule then just remove my post as is norm.
Your openly criticism of me only leaves it open for the pack to throw your open criticism of me back in my face in the future.

"Why do you always openly pick me out Ed?"
Out of affection mostly. :)
"Your openly criticism of me only leaves it open for the pack to throw your open criticism of me back in my face in the future."
This is true-ish, and probably frustrating.
Did you see my interesting back up of Muslim unemployment on this thread: http://
Maybe you can use that next time that sort of thing comes up? Hopefully this is a useful, if small, olive branch.
