Yet all the political parties have admitted in the last few months (after the rise of UKIP) that there ARE too many people coming to this country.
So does that make Milliband a Xenophobe?
It is NOTHING to do with their race or religion or that they are different, it is to do with the NUMBER of them.
Put one spoonful of sugar in your tea and it is fine, put two spoonfulls in and it is still fine, put 50 spoonfulls in and it spoils it.
That is how it is with this country, we have had our "50 spoonfulls" of immigrants and now it spoilt the "tea" (continuing with the metaphor).
But I guess if people have not got a good argument against someone the easiest thing is to insult them with "lazy" terms like xenophobe.

Yes VHG has put the matter very well. Hopefully the time has now passed when those of us concerned that the numbers arriving in the UK are unsustainable were simply branded as racists, bigots, xenophobes or all three.
With a bit of luck Mr spirescu's words will get back to his fellow countrymen. However, looking at the scenes of squalour and degredation that some of them live in I doubt that kipping in a pedestrian subway under Marble Arch roundabout can be much worse for many of them and that's a very good reason why Romania should not have been allowed to join the EU.

xenophobe, xenophobic or xenophobia is the new wording commonly used by those who got used to automatically calling other people a racist (wrongly) for having genuine concerns of uncontrolled immigration and the problems associated with it. Even the most prolific brainwashed pest started to realise that the term racist is incorrect on such issues and then we saw xenophobe introduced and . . . . overused, abused and the rest by the types that spend all day blogging. (not directed at the OP).
Hi Mr AOG, the easily led name-calling herds who blog nonsense about racism all day long seemed to have finally realised how rediculous they are sounding and starting using Xenophobe etc, but we have the same problem again where the use of the wording is just thrown around excessively & irrsponsibally (as usual)
