Thank you for the pointer: It looks promising, and is only the third blog to make it to my Favorites list.

Another example of PC bollox.

I have nothing against Polish people, I just think there's too many on the island.

Having a strong opinion on immigration doesn't make someone a racist

I agree with your last two sentences, but not the first.

It's fine to have a view against too many outsiders coming here, that's a straightforward awareness of large scale effects, and it's not personal.

But it is racist to make it personal and treat individual people badly simply because they came from somewhere else.

But let's not have a repeat of the WhyJersey fiasco, LOL

We never had any trouble with racism on Why Jersey.

In anycase everything that was said on the Forum has since been said in the mass UK media.

As for 'the state of jersey'. That domain was taken years ago.
