HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!<br /><br />A century and a half later and guess what? they haven't blown anything up, or converted anyone, or caused too many problems (<i>the rogues!</i>), but why let facts get in the way of a good hysterical rant - <i>"we are under threat from Asians and Muslims"</i> Mr Lineberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-37467602418977819622014-05-29T11:56:50.074+12:002014-05-29T11:56:50.074+12:00Your reading comprehension is terrible Mr Lineberr...Your reading comprehension is terrible Mr Lineberry. 2 million+ British Migrants moving here tomorrow would be insane which is why no country has a daft libertarian immigration policy that would allow that to happen.<br /><br />The UK tried a politically correct immigration policy and now they have a huge problem with Muslim ghettos. British residents in these areas are free, like you said, to not invite them to dinner. I doubt you could find a single one who regards this as any consolation whatsoever. That is how detached from reality you are.<br /><br />If you actually thought for yourself instead of being told what to think by nutters like Perigo and the ARI maybe you would have a more rational worldview.

O...Asinine to suggest this is a black/white issue?<br /><br />Oh really? really? really? pretty please really?<br /><br />Barry - let's be honest here shall we?<br /><br />If 2,309,882 white, anglo saxon, decent, respectable, salt of the earth, people from the British Midlands moved to New Zealand at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning - you would not be complaining. (Magically, the ability of our infrastructure would rise to the occasion and "handle" them)<br /><br />What you mean is "immigrants from the Orient".<br /><br />You would gain greater respect if you were honest about it; you are meaning - as all Winston First supporters mean - <i>ASIANS</i> (or "people from the Orient" as I prefer to call them)<br /><br />Barry - this is a free country (no, really! seriously!) and so even though lots of folk from the Orient may move here and try to make it in our great nation....guess what? ....you do not have to 'invite them to dinner'.<br /><br />Seriously.<br /><br />Truly.<br /><br />Freedom also means <i>your</i> freedom to free association; consequently you don't have to invite <i>any</i> of these buggers to dinner (and pretend to be happy about it).<br /><br />Yes. Truly. Yes yes yes! <i>(how many times do I have to say it?)</i> <br /><br />But when you dress it up ....trying to pretend you have enormous concern about those bloody immigrants from Chad....(!)....it diminishes your credibility and encourages the 'adults' to simply ignore you.<br /><br /><i>Say what you mean and mean what you say</i> - as Lindsay Perigo says on his website.Mr Lineberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-2987472848203918662014-05-28T16:50:30.904+12:002014-05-28T16:50:30.904+12:00"You're anti-immigrant Barry?"
It&#..."You're anti-immigrant Barry?"<br /><br />It's just asinine to try to pretend immigration is an anti/pro black or white issue. Politically correct bleeding heart immigration policy just makes the host country more like Somalia, China etc in direct correlation to how many you let in. <br /><br />Therefore most countries have a common sense immigration policy, selective about who they let in and at a rate current infrastructure can handle.Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-16840078409818555612014-05-28T15:45:22.729+12:002014-05-28T15:45:22.729+12:00I am reluctant to strongly attack New Zealand Firs...I am reluctant to strongly attack New Zealand First supporters.<br /><br /><i>(If I wasn't married to one I would be using terms like "brain damaged" or "halfwits" or "dickheads", but these days I have to tone down the vituperation hahahahaha!)</i> -<br /><br />All I would say is that when Winston First was campaigning in 1996 - (and some people weren't even at play centre) - immigration <i>was</i> the issue and top of the agenda.<br /><br />Between 7:01pm on election night 1996 and 1998 when Winston First was <i>Deputy</i> Prime Minister he did nothing about it.<br /><br />Fancy that!<br /><br />Could it have all been a con trick simply to get votes? could it be he is doing it again (with Cunliffe and everyone else joining in?)<br /><br />The hysteria about immigrants from the Orient is not only misplaced, but it annoys me that so much discord gets stirred up over this issue.<br /><br />My Father witnessed a similar sort of thing in Mississippi in 1963/64 - (what is known as 'Mississippi Burning') - with politicians setting one group of people against another in order to get votes, and create divisions which were unnecessary, preventable and where there was absolutely no prospect (or intention) of actually doing what they stirred everyone up about.<br /><br />Now it is happening here and I am disgusted.<br />Mr Lineberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-14920070859090833012014-05-28T11:31:35.255+12:002014-05-28T11:31:35.255+12:00You're anti-immigrant, Barry?You're anti-immigrant, Barry?Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-42854322760435664772014-05-28T10:20:17.198+12:002014-05-28T10:20:17.198+12:00This blog should be renamed 'Not PC (except wh...This blog should be renamed 'Not PC (except when it comes to immigration)'Barrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-76755643469359478582014-05-28T10:09:30.401+12:002014-05-28T10:09:30.401+12:00I think I saw this movie a few years ago, isn'...I think I saw this movie a few years ago, isn't there also a sub plot about nasty Americans with lots of cash?, also the dreaded yellow peril, but not to worry, Winston will save us! <br /><br />B.
