Originally posted by Bean View PostI agree, it will be a factor, as every nation houses some racists.
For it to be a significant factor, however, significant numbers must hold those views and you would still be implying those attributes apply to a large section, if not all of the English electorate.
So, are you saying it was a significant factor, or merely some useless throwaway comment, used to try and impress your colleagues?Comment

Stalin and Hitler
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostHitler targeted certain people groups for murder. Stalin did to an extent, but largely his mass murder was quota driven - e,g, 10% of the people are traitors, so 10% of the people go to the camps. 20% of the doctors are traitors, so 20% of them go to the camps.

Hitler's economic policies were neither right nor left wing. Stalin's were definitely left - planned economy and all that.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
