    I don't think that hating any group of people purely because they are a group of people is justifiable (unless they are Scousers or Chavs)


    And why would you hate Asylum Seekers purely for wanting a better life?

    The thing that annoys me about the Gippo issue us that anyone who chooses to live in a caravan can claim to be an ethnic minority. Its B*ll*cks.

    Depends

    If you hate people who come along live on any drelict land for a while and leave after 2 weeks or so leaving the surounding area contaminated with general rubbish, human detirus and animal faeces..then it is justifiable.</p>

    If they cleaned up after themselves then maybe hating them would fall under the racism umbrella but they dont do they? they are just a bunch of dirty Barstewards.</p>

    It's Aussies, not Ozzies!

    And it's the Yanks who call us Limeys, the Aussies call us Poms.

    Apart from that you were spot on!

    What do you mean

    "one of the leading contenders" - I thought I was way out in front.

    So for pedant, read someone who thinks that the truth is important!

    p.s. At least get my screen name right - it's EastStander, not Eastander!
