...as the debate in the Evening Nazi Post about immigration and asylum seekers dies down, following the BBC's shock discovery that the BNP are a bunch of Nazi thugs, NOT as we had all been led to believe (joke) a serious political party with an agenda that should be respected, the cross-party International Development Select Committee’s report, Migration and development: How to make migration work for poverty reduction (Refugee Council) tells us that 'The solution for Zimbabwean asylum seekers, for instance, is not to prevent them coming here, but to tackle the reasons causing them to leave their homes.'...
Forgive me, but does this mean they're recognising that the problem is caused by our action / inaction abroad? Isn't that what every right-minded person has been saying all along? That Americans wouldn't be hated if they acknowledged the existence of a world beyond their borders (for example)? Obviously the pensioner who called me a Nazi is now muttering into his over-crowded cornflakes about how marching in and machine-gunning the immigrants isn't such a bad idea now that the BBC have suggested it to him as the perfect way to be accepted by the BNP.
