http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ifs_news/hi/newsid_7108000/7108143.stm?

From my experience, he's just telling the truth . . .

Answer 1

Theres that 'racist' word being misussed again. Its not bloody racism if someone is of the same ethnic group. Its is more nationalistic, but people like to throw 'racist' around as being called racist is more offensive.

Answer 2

There's no such thing as rascism. Like stick to like and those that don't may do as they please. Those that do are usually labelled rascist. Pointing out a truth can never be rascist. It is simply the truth. Mugabe hates white people-that's fine as long as he doesn't break the law. He's xenophobic not rascist. He probably finds whities ugly with their thin lips and pointed noses and straight hair. Fine with me. He also hates matabele people-they are black but from a different tribe to him. He is Amashona. He can't possibly be rascist-he is xenophobic.Truth is truth. I state that too many black youths are carrying knives in London,I am not being rascist. It is a fact.

Answer 3

The truth is that when we are threatened, we can all be racist homophobic  bigots and if me or mine are threatened by these unwanted European migrants the same as their predecessors the black the Asian the Indian the west Indian

if they are essential workers they will be tolerated, if not, I'm not happy about them taking work from the locals,

is your man racist ?no more than you me or your average foreigner, the worst racists Ive meet are the Africans and the Muslims, but they never seem to be pillared for it ?

Answer 4

It is the truth, how can the truth be racist?

Answer 5

No.  He is just telling the truth.

One thing though, the low wages means lower costs for goods.  Loads of migrant workers work in the agricultural sector.  

First of all, loads of jobs are seasonal (watch Jimmy's farm where they had a seasonal worker from Poland on the farm) so offer no regular employment.

Second, if wages go up, so will the cost of food.

Answer 6

Utter tosh - it is not a way of keeping wages down, the national minimum wage has risen since it was first started - not reduced. AND in MY experience of trying to get a job in Wrexham they ARE racist b******s and I told them so.

An ENGLISH girl who was married to a welshman.

Answer 7

I agree with him. Trouble these day's is you can't say the truth and are barely aloud to think it.

Answer 8

No!Sometimes the truth hurts!!

Answer 9

It's true. I don't think he is being racist.

Answer 10

Sorry - am I missing the point? Didn't read anywhere that he was accused of being 'racist'. Are you labelling him as such?

Answer 11

He is Right. It's a pity New Labour can't follow

his example.

If I go to any of these East European Countries

will they give me accommodation, free medical,

family allowance etc.?  NO.

Lets look after our own FIRST.

Answer 12

I do not think he should be considered a racialist but he is a realist.

Answer 13

Adam Price is making a good point for Wales.  Here in London the situation is quite different.  We are an international city of trade and commerce and thus expect people to come from far and wide to work here.

A word of advice to job seekers - grab the first available job, no matter what it is - just do it.  It is far easier to leap into a job when you've got one already than when you are unemployed.

Unskilled work is very easy to find here in London but it may not be the case in Wales - but people should just try it - I work as a cleaner where before I worked in a plush office - so what - the pay is c**p but it's work. . . . .

Answer 14

He is right, that is one of the benefits of mass immigration, you get an unlimited supply of cheap labour

Answer 15

i don't see why stating fact should be racist? mind you! this is Britain the most pathetic breed of hand wringing apologists  in Europe.
