You avoided the racism accusation and concentrated on the screaming bit The easiest way to refute an accusation of racism is to tackle it head on. So when I suggest that a statement has racist undertones, show me where I am wrong and/or how the statement might be interpreted differently. Pointing out that tourists in Thailand are st to discriminatory pricing does not do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute hypocrisy & racism at it's best. Absolute garbage at its best. Britons can marry even if they have zero income or rely solely on state benefits. This has nothing whatsoever to do with marriage, per se, or who can marry whom, it is only about allowing foreigners into Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You subsequent response to me was an opinion. I got news for you. Opinions don't have to be empty. They can be supported by reasoning. As in this case: "I didn't have to. JonnyF showed he had nothing by refusing to engage with the points that RayC raised. Given his inclination to make persona comments, it was especially amusing to see him claim that his reason for retiring from the field was that he took offense." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims that no matter what the disagreement is about, a handful of posters scream racist. This is just plain over-the-top nuts.

FruitPudding Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I did find this interesting: - 98% of asylum seekers don't carry identification documents. You'd think they'd want to make their asylum claim easier with some form of ID, rather than making it difficult to identify them. - 90% are male. Why is that? Lol https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/press-release/668 Emphasis on the heading: Nearly 90% of those crossing in boats from safe countries are male Why are they coming to the UK from safe countries to claim asylum?
