See this oped. I quote:
The Sky News TV presenter Julie Etchingham did not realise her mike was still on when she suggested this week that the Tories’ policy on immigration was “extermination”. Her gallows humour hit the headlines and was promptly labelled a “gaffe”. Yet, horrible as it may seem, the extermination of immigrants was once official policy in England, with horrendous results. It is not just in Bosnia or Rwanda that “ethnic cleansing” happens.
rue, it was over 1,000 years ago in November 1002, on St Brice’s day, that orders were given for the immigrant community to be massacred. Yet the accounts of what happened then are as fresh as reports of atrocities in places such as Darfur today.
Yes, I agree. Immigrants have a long history of being targeted and killed. How about Nellie? Do you remember the Rock Springs Massacre? Or how in Bosnia? Or in Palestine? Or in so many places? Politicians need to be very very careful with how they treat nationalism and immigration. If you fan the flames, you will end up having a blot like the British have with respect to killing the immigrants.
