  You've hit the nail on the head Keith; a joke about a fairy and the perception of Government policy on immigration, means that I can't discuss immigration now without being called a racist.
  
  There was nothing in that joke about being anti-immigrant, but what English people and those wanting to come to Britain, think that new immigrants receive.
  
  If all those waiting at Calais to catch a lorry or train here, or others further afield, want to come to Britain, it is because they believe that they will get so much more here than any other European Country; the fact that it may not be the case, is irrelevant, it's what they perceive and that is what that joke was about.
  
  And I did apologise for any offence it may have caused.
  
  I only use it to illustrate how many people pounce on innocent comments to stifle intelligent debate - and that is why the BNP is doing well, because peope are scared to talk about it openly - as on this Forum, so they use their vote.
