To be fair to Farage, Farage has made a career out of his opinions in the public eye, where as Rog trolls a niche forum on the internet for kicks.

Prejudice and discrimination are not in themselves automatically racist. A person can be prejudice or discriminatory because of many things other that race or creed. For example I can be prejudice against someone because of the football team they support if I chose to be. Of course holding racist views (the belief that a particular creed or colour of person is superior) can lead to prejudicial views or discriminatory actions. I was taught that in school well over thirty years ago and I'm pretty sure the actual dictionary definitions have not changed. It's nothing to do with superior or inferior though. It's about differences and best suited to a given society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a staunch Conservative and reject absolutely unrestricted freedom of movement between countries, a view which seems to be what iritates people most. I don't support the "we're all the same" concept, we're not, nor that all societies and "cultures" are equal, they're not. Theres nothing in the least bit racist in that. It's just facing reality. Seems you can't even remember what you posted a mere three hours ago. Maybe you just have trouble expressing what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the ridiculous attempt to drag racism into this just check the Lexico (formally the OECD) definition of racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally wrong Richard. Totally. I started this thread to open discussion on where the border between the EU would be with the UK in view of the existing travel arrangements.

"I don't support the "we're all the same" concept, we're not, nor that all societies and "cultures" are equal, they're not." If something isn't equal it can only be greater or lesser, superior or inferior. I refer back to my earlier comment that perhaps you just have trouble expressing what you actually mean.

All it means is that there are differences. Sometimes cultures are compatible, sometimes they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
