Yes it has. Sorry, your view doesn't simply become fact because you declare it to be so. This isn't a new theory. What you're asserting here is essentially Scientific Racism or Racialism, the pseudoscientific belief that humans can be classified into physically discrete racial groups based on...

And it's fine for you to have that opinion, providing you understand that it has no scientific or academic basis whatsoever and has been roundly debunked time after time. We can at least agree on this much. Herein lies the source of our disagreement. I abhorr nationalism of all types. I...

I actually disagree on this point. We've no basis for assuming that these texts don't mean exactly what they say, and you have to remember they were written in a time when this was considered perfectly acceptable behaviour. We simply ought to be thankful that most modern people interpret them...

Can't beat a good Yorkshire pudding.

I suspect he means apostasy.

No, it's history. Well evidenced, unanimously accepted, published and academically peer-reviewed history. Your argument and philosophy are based on a fantasy. I have never denied Britain has it's own unique culture, to do so would be ludicrous. I was brought up in it and for the most part I...

It didn't answer my point at all. You are trying to treat entire ethnocultural groups as homogenous wholes that can be judged and treated as such. They aren't.

:laugh: Small numbers? The British isles were originally inhabited by the brythonic Celts. Then the Romans invaded and fundamentally changed both the culture and the gene pool. Then the Roman empire collapsed and their armies left, and the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes invaded and did the same...

That's the key point. You can't claim that Muslim immigrants are bad for this country because they do all this horrible stuff, and in the next breath admit most of them don't do the horrible stuff. You're contradicting yourself.

You're right; I saw some statistics about low work rate among Muslims but that was from Saisonator. I suspect they have the same opinion, but I could be wrong.

So basically you're against helping others seeking a better quality of life due to some nebulous fear that, if you help enough of them, it may one day adversely affect your own quality of life? You can keep that philosophy, thanks.

Maybe I'm being thick, but you're going to have to elaborate. Edit: I see you already did.

I think the point he's making is that we already get the best and brightest from outside the EU, as well as the best and brightest from in the EU, and economic migrants from the EU who fill vital rolls in unskilled industries. So brexit won't help. And I must say I agree.

It's perfectly possible to put a legislative framework in place that provides the same support without the restrictions. Funny how they never seem to do that- it's almost as if removing restrictions may not be their primary concern.

Hmm. I've switched to the 500ml brown pet bottles from homebrew online, anyone know if these have the same issue? I suspect they probably will as they are essentially the same, but you never know your luck!

Im not sure where you're going with this. Does Oxfam being associated with Labour somehow undermine their work? Or vice versa?

Mine would be Desmond Medway-Grew. Which in fairness does sound an awful lot like a Tory name :)

Probably true, just look at priests.

:laugh2:

My only problem was that they're a stupid size. 740ml I think, just under a pint and a half. Why are they that size? What use is that to anyone? Got rid of them in favour of some 500ml PET bottles. Never used them for a 6 month conditioning, but beer from them tasted fine.
