You have - as usual - twisted everything to suit your own interpretation. I have not squirmed or wriggled at all - I have been quite claer in my meaning and it is only you who is corrupting that meaning.

If however you are seriously asking if liberals attempted to hunt down the author the letter, no. There is however good evidence that nobody matching the discription in the letter resided in his constituency, making the story in the letter, and the speech as a whole, factually incorrect.There Will Be Trouble! http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Little-Tro...s=T.+E.+Hodden

Thank you. I can get some of these but with others I get "unknown file type" and then they want me to instal something, which I am loath to do.
Actually statistical info from the 1961 census might have given them at least a shot. But I very much doubt if electoral register info could either prove or disprove such a thing.

Originally posted by Limehouse View PostPerhaps it would be helpful to go back to the original quote that Phil saw posted on the window of the shop called Lush:

Now - that does not seem to me to be implying unlimited immigration or the importaton of immigrant criminals.
What it actually advocates is the freedom of people to live and work where they wish and in so doing enjoy the same rights as other people living and working in that vacinity.
Of course - if people abuse that system - whoever and wherever they are - they should be investigated and punished according to the law and it is obvious from the links above that they are being.
Of course - the Daily Mail would never print exampes of immigrants making positive contributions to this country - such as those I quoted a few posts back.
For clarification - here is my post in its entirety. I have highlighted the bits Bob left out.

Originally posted by Bob Hinton View PostA few posts ago I posted a link to an article which appeared on a Council website. The story was taken up by the BBC and, among other papers, the Daily Mail.
It shows that discrimination is being practised against indigenous people by restricting certain well paying jobs to immigrants only. And yet where are the howls of outrage from the likes of Limehouse, Tom Tom etc? They are strangely silent - except when beating the drum for unrestricted immigration into this crowded little island.
Come on you LWL's let's hear your comments on that story.
Go back and read your link again. It does not state that the jobs are open to immigrants only as you state. The article actually reports that the jobs are open to black and ethnic minority appilcants only. Believe or not Bob - black people and those from ethnic monirities can actually be British (or English or Welsh or Scottish etc). They can actually have been born here and paid in to the system all of their lives! And so could have their parents!
The article then goes on to state that the reason for the restriction. This is because black people and those from ethinic minorities are under represented in that industry.
So - no discrimination being practised against the 'indigenous people' at all - the opposite in fact. Some under-represented members of the 'indigenous people' are being given an opportunity that the other 87% of the white people in that industry enjoy. A job.

No robert it is REPORTED as being racial discrimination. That is a seperate issuefrom it BEING racial discrimination. The story has been shown to be MISREPORTED and bunk. I suspect the only reasons it is still allowed to be pasted up online by the group that enforces the voluntary code od conduct for the national press is that their chief is also the editor of the Mail. How lucky.There Will Be Trouble! http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Little-Tro...s=T.+E.+Hodden

Originally posted by Robert View PostSo it's not immigrant discrimination - it's racial discrimination instead. That makes me feel a whole lot better, Limehouse. Thank you.
Having posted the article and misrepresented it - he publically remonstrated with me for not having commented on it. Now I have done so and he appears to have egg on his face.
Concerning your remark about racial discrimination - it is not the case. This is positive discrimination - meant to redress the under-representation of those groups in the industry.

So............
Originally posted by Limehouse View PostMr Hinton was insisting immigrants were being favoured over those of indigenous residents. Either he lied or he misread the article or he did not understand its contents.

Of course when you are talking to LWL's like Limehouse you must understand that they are against all discrimination - unless it's their brand of discrimination which they label 'positive' in which case that's ok!
So to clarify Limehouse's position. If a person advertises for white people only for a job - that is discrimination and is bad. However if you advertise for 'black and ethnic minorities only' for a job that's fine.
Can't wait for her take on 'Black police officers association'
And she wonders why indigenous people feel they are being unfairly treated!
