I would simply send them to Portland - no doubt you would open your home
to them all, you seem to think the UK has so much empty housing that it
can take on any number of refugees. You no doubt eagerly await the
arrival of the million or so Kashmiris the government is preparing to
house.
What fun.

If they do it will be because they have to IMHO. Kashmire is a beautiful place and
most Kashmiri's I have known have wanted to just live there in peace (it not being
a disease ridden poverty-stricken fleapit)

I like it but as far as I know I have not got terminal cancer.
It would be better done from above the Tunnel if anyone were to do it, where
to place charges could be found by sound, or ultra sounding, or GPS.
Though saying that do you remember the fire they had there that nearly
caused a collapse I believe, so maybe a convenient rail tanker may do the
trick.
Liverpool?
But your judgement is skewed, Maria, as is mine, by actually having visited
the place.
You know perfectly well that it's against the rules on UKPM to introduce
facts or knowledge into any discussion about race and immigration, because
it just confuses people. Don't do it again -- you know you only do it to
upset people.
The place is in Asia, so it's self-evident that Britain making contingency
plans, in common with lots of other countries, to deal with the survivors of
a nuclear catastrophe that, pray God, won't happen, is yet another example
of political correctness gone mad dreamed up by the liberal bigot elite,
since the only reason these Kashmiris want to come here is to take advantage
of our legendarily generous benefits system, queue jump for housing and
hospital places which by rights should go to English little old ladies, in
return for which these Kashmiris will vote Labour when they aren't busy
stealing peoples' jobs and mugging them.
It's probably something to do with the EU, anyway.
There. I hope that's lowered the blood pressure of some of our regular
immigration nuts, and saved them the trouble of expressing, yet again,
their cogent views of the survival of our nation.

What relevance does that have to the chaos a million immigrants would
have on Britain? RH
But I would not have reacted in the same way that Peter would.
That is a ridiculous exaggeration of my position. I believe that arrivals
in this country have to be kept under control. However I am not so
malicious and mean-spirited as to believe that we cannot accomodate *any*.
I would be quite happy for a small number of Kashmiris to settle on
Portland: for a start, it would widen the gene pool!
I had a frightening experience on Portland many years ago. I still
have nightmares about it. Nowt to do with Kashmiris though.

What I'm saying is that I don't think it will happen.
1) I think the whole Indian/Pakistan situation is being blown out of proportion.
The reason? Don't know yet, but possibly dog-wagging or an excuse for cracking down
on civil liberties.
2) Like I said, I think in general they are happy there and won't want to come here.
However, should Bush et al bait the two into continuing the conflict to the point of
full scale war, then maybe they will come.
Maybe Bush should offer them sanctuary in the US.

Right. I was walking along the beach on Portland, waiting for my wife
who'd stopped to lok at some fossils or somesuch. Suddenly, these two
HUGE dogs ran up to me, one of them pinning me up against a cliff.
The owner called out 'He's only playing, don't let him think you're
afraid', and tried to get the dog to back off (its companion was
snapping at my legs by this stage).
Finally the owner distracted the dogs by throwing some stones for them
to chase. Apart from a lot of dog slobber over my T shirt I was
unharmed, but considerably shaken.
Ive only just thought - the owner might have been our own Welsh Witch
on holiday in Dorset!
Good luck. Blair will be importing terrorism. Importing the same
people who want to kill 1 million American children.
Or it might just have been the bloke who lives opposite me, who owns two
absolutely terrifying German Shepherds!
Thanks for that,

Sounds great. However it contradicts the opinions of the Kashmiris that I
know. They say it is beautiful but poverty stricken. That is why they send a
part of their salaries back home every month, because their families are,
err poverty stricken.

But they do vote Labour. After the recent local elections , one of them
was expressing his disgust at the proposal to allow homosexuals to adopt
children. Never being one to miss an opportunity, I asked him why the people
in his area voted solidly Labour, when their view of the world was about as
far from Labour policy as you can get . He told me that since Labour came to
power it has become much easier to get his fellow countrymen into Britain.
Simple as that.
> It's probably something to do with the EU, anyway.
Not one for conspiracy theories myself. However it does seem strange that
we are being told repeatedly now that Europe deperately needs large numbers
of immigrants to pay for our aged relatives. They never tell us who is going
to pay for the aging immigrants though ?

Oh dear me. The Blue Mink song you are quoting is so naff and cheesy that
Alan Partridge sang it in the lift at the Linton Travel Tavern! If that is
your idea of what sixties radicalism was all about ... dear, dear me.
FWIW, I think it is always a good thing to broaden the gene pool, in any
place, anywhere in the world. Hopefully it will make people less racist and
prejudiced, wherever it happens.
Bit different from your previous line, isn't it?

You miss the point once again. I did not vote Labour in the last election.
But the group who sang the song Peter has hamfistedly appropriated, Blue
Mink, were very English. They even wrote a song about a Salvation Army
band. There's a lesson in there for you, Robert.
As many as can be reasonably supported - ie not the mean-spirited aggression
of many on this ng, but not the other extreme of unlimited immigration.
Actually I would not. It would have opened up Portland considerably.
Besides, this area has always had a large transient population, dating back
to the days when it was a major Navy base. It was never an isolated village
with a population that barely changed from year to year. As such, it would
have been a far better place to house Kashmiris than Sturminster Newton,
because it is used to change and newcomers.

That's a hard one...there has been tension in Kashmir for years and years...only
since 9/11 and Bush's global posturing and not very well veiled threats has the situation
become as bad is they are making out.
My position in general is that if a war is a genuine war arising from local trouble between
two nations, then neighbouring countries should accept refugees in the short term.
Should a war be engineered by Western Leaders, then they should see to any refugee crisis
that arises from that war. Unfortunately what this usually means is that Britain accepts refugees
from war torn areas, whereas the US can sit and relax because it is geographically remote.
So my position at present is that I would be willing to accept them should Bliar or Bush trigger
a war there, but I don't feel we should have to accept them.
Easy to say when you think you will never have to face the reality of
it. RH

There is indeed, which is that 60s pop culture was not a universal threat to
traditional Britain. Quite often it actually identified with such a view of
this country. A point that lazy 60s-bashers on the right always miss is
that Bobby Vee fans (efficient suburbanites) did more to destroy the old
Britain than Incredible String Band fans (mystical ruralists) ever did.

Henderson think it is wrong because he is a racist. That, I'm afraid, is
the depressing truth.
I don't want it, but then I don't think it will happen. People are more
tribal than you think they are, even when they are of mixed race.
I am not as good with numbers and statistics as I should be. If I was I
could answer that question.

What does it explain?
Again not true. I know I may well have to face the reality of it and I will
regard it as an exciting and positive challenge. Besides, I may not always
live here. I may move to an area with much more obvious post-war
immigration.

Would you count the Incredible String Band's mystical landscape-worship as
"a problem" to traditional Britain? I know I wouldn't. "Take Good Care Of
My Baby" was the problem, because it encouraged Americanised consumerism.
Much of hippie culture was a conscious return to the land as against the
increasingly Americanised and suburbanised nation that the "never had it so
good generation" had already created.

I dislike many things but I do not think they can be solved by expelling
vast numbers of people from this country. There are many violent and
thuggish white British people (and always were, if truth be told).
There will never be a monoculture. There will be many different hybridised
cultures.

If you love multikulturalism and tolerance so much why do you hate the

Well I agree. Not "vast numbers" - a few hundred Jamaicans would do and
the government should impose visa restrictions on all Jamaicans
regardless of port of departure to the UK - that would solve 75 per cent
of the problem.

This is a common misapprehension, Peter. Direct recruitment of West
Indians in the fifties was very small - London Transport recruited a
total of 5000 for example. The vast majority of Windies simply came
here on spec. They took jobs which the native population would have done
had the domestic market in labour been allowed to reach its natural
level, ie raise the wages of these jobs. RH

Had they not come the wages for those jobs would have risen and the work
would have been done by Britons and/or greater mechanisation. It is also
true to say that many of our industries at the time were grossly
overmanned. The importation of cheap labour was a form of theft from
the poorer members of our society. RH

You really are hopeless, aren't you? I love the countryside, though I
prefer living in a part of it without a Tory MP (which is luckily possible
now, unlike the situation of the 80s and early 90s).
You know much less about me than you think, Peter, so stop jumping to
conclusions about everything.
> I lived the dream.
Oh no you didn't. Not really. The hippie dream of the countryside was to
take it away from the hands of the aristocracy, landowners, foxhunters etc
and return it to the people. Your attitude to the countryside is
intolerant, posessive and "keep everyone else out" in the vein of a 1950s
landowner, not the gloriously inclusive and celebratory attitude of the
Incredible String Band and their contemporaries.
Yes! An approving Enoch Powell reference!
I've been waiting for that to come from you since I joined this newsgroup
...
That the Daily Mail view of recent British history (taken so seriously by so
many on this ng) is complete bollocks.
I have a great affection for Portland. Besides there are personal reasons
beyond my control which prevent me from moving at the moment.

Oh, you're on the left are you? Well maybe because the left have
typically denigrated many traditional things. But then left / right are
rather passe now. Better globalism / internationalism vs capitalism /
nationalism.

>list of "traditionally English" things I appreciate and love.
No, that' fine. I am not asking for a list.
Oh good, I am so relieved.
Well fine. I mean I didn't think you really *were* in HMP Portland -
