[kj] (OT) Singing rule Britannia

[Brendan]

A proportion of that vote would include those who aren't so much racist,
rather they reject the current immigration policies but haven't thought
through the issues and are ignorant of who they are voting for...I think
as the world population increases, economic woes continue on and wealth
moves from west to east, we'll be seeing more of this kinda stuff. And the
fasists will attempt to capitalise on it. Long term they can always be
relied on to shoot themselves in the foot though.
