Leaving aside the rights and wrongs of the views -people holding them have been told they are being racist and ignored rather than being engaged over many years. I am not making a pro or anti comment - but we are now in a world where unless politicans recognise the real fears (whether or not they are decent ones) - the far right will pick up. I offer no answers - but I have found that insulting people with real fears - by calling them xenophobic is both useless and insulting. The roots of this issue probably lie in economics, combined with population density (ie it is becoming harder and harder to accomodate the increasing numbers, statisitics as to economic benefits that are not believed (eg the increased education pressures of larger immigrant first gen families) and good old fashioned lack of education feeding prejudice. No answers - in fact I do not envy anyone who has to square this circleEurophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843700388260420389noreply@blogger.com
