Yet we are accused of being racist, Far-Right and even worse, if we peacefully protest against our own 'economic' migrants and we are stuck permanently with them, not just during the summer months.

Mickey, I think enough is enough. Please stop attacking other ABers and putting words in their mouths.

[mikey4444]

YMB...when it comes to attacking other AB users, you, and others never seem to see much of a problem when it comes to attacking me, of the few other left wingers on here.

AOG can defend himself, in exactly the same way I can, and that goes for you as well.

So, you are the last person to take a sermon from.

[youngmafbog]

Mickey, people dont attack you they just disagree with you. Big difference.

Bu if you want to carry on with this, rather infantile, attack then carry on.

[Mamyalynne]

The group need to learn how to express their concern over the excesses of tourism in a better way - people will then be more inclined to listen.

/// Hardly any black or brown people, and all the better for
it. ///

Words formed from your own brain.

But to humour you, yes one has to admit and it isn't racist to be aware of it, they have caused certain problems in this country, but unlike you I am not prepared to recognising them only by the colour of their skins.

[Zacs-Master]

Do you believe black and brown people have caused more problems than they have solved AOG, and if so, how?

[andres]

If you weren't around in the 1950s how can you possibly know what life was like back then ??

[Zacs-Master]

Books, films, documentaries, newspaper articles, relatives, photographs. Enough possibilities?

[mikey4444]

Andres...I was.

[andres]

ZM ---all you seem to know about days gone by comes from those sources.You can't beat personal experience . Aog is right in what he says.

[Zacs-Master]

Right in what way? (BTW, I was born in 62 so not that long after).

[Jackdaw33]

I suppose the main difference between economic migrants and tourists is that the latter will go home of their own free will.

[zebo]

Take away the tourists and what are they left with, economically? Whilst I realise that the behaviour of a section of the British tourists is deplorable they could improve it by not making so much cheap alcohol available, price out the wrong kind. Additionally, other nations' young people don't cover themselves with glory but as ever the UK press takes delight in highlighting British shortcomings, most other countries try to hide their drges.

AOG says:
"Anti-Tourist Protesters Declare ‘War’ On British Holidaymakers For Destroying Spain. Yet we are accused of being racist, Far-Right and even worse, if we peacefully protest against our own 'economic' migrants and we are stuck permanently with them, not just during the summer months. "

You might just as well say:
"Yesterday England beat Wales at rugby, and yet today I am having beans on toast"
I can't see any connection between the two things, whatever your opinion of British tourists or ecomonic migrants.

[Jackdaw33]

I agree. Places like Devon and Cornwall may complain about the disruption caused by 'grockles' and 'emmets' but they need to balance this against the large contribution they make to the local economy.

[andres]

Its not long ago that some people in the Lake District were also complaining about the number of tourists.

AOG

Many Far Right protesters (not all, mind) genuinely are racists.

There should be a clear distinction between those who wish to protest peacefully, and the ex-football hooligans who, because they are unable to carry out turf wars outside our football grounds), tag on to BNP, EDL and BF marches because they want a ruck.

Perhaps some of the Spanish thugs and a minority of English ones have something in common that respect? Testosterone (and coke/booze) fuelled aggression?

// A time when it was OK to put on your Election posters and flyers....."if you want a n****r for a neighbour, vote Labour"//

oh can I mise this en scene ?
Labour won the 1964 election by a whisker
but Patrick Gordon Walker was not ( elected )
so Harold Wilson who wanted him as Foreign Secretary appointed a non-MP ( erm Gordon Walker that is!) to the cabinet as Foreign Secretary and persuaded a safe seat MP to stand down
Smethwick
The smethwick by election was fought a few weeks after the 1964 general election
and this election slogan was employed by the conservatives
."if you want a n****r for a neighbour, vote Labour"

conservatives won
and Wilson castigated the winner as a parliamentary leper

the working majority was two
and Wilson kept it together until 1966
called an election and won a large majority

the two trouble makers were
Desmond Donelly - died aged 58 early
and Woodrow Wyatt - later the Voice of Reason in the News of the Screws

just a trip down memory lane

amidst a forest of - ..........."dat! what dat mean den!?"
"what dat foo?!" .....'foo dat what dat den!'..."fing dat foo dat, foooo!" and many many other heart felt variations
