Off topic slightly, but if you want a real giggle I heartily recommend Fox News. I don't think it is possible to watch that for more than 15 minutes without laughing...

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -
Originally posted by xoggoth View PostIts about balance. If the likes of The Guardian persist in telling us all that massive immigration is a great benefit despite the government stats on welfare, health and crime, we need someone to tell the other side.
The Mail is a lot closer to the truth TBH. Check where most of the worst street crime comes from, who mostly runs the home grown cannabis trade, London's vice trade and credit card fraud. Check who are the ethnic groups claiming the most welfare and social housing, have the worst health or are disproportionately represented in prison. You won't have to visit any BNP or right wing sites to do it.
Properly controlled immigration of high earning people prepared to fit in can certainly be a benefit but what we actually have is quite something else. Time people stopped being blackmailed by accusation of racism from mentioning the downsides of a very lax system.
Well said Xoggoth (arghh, I'm agreeing with Cyberman), although some of the stories are ridiculous at times you have to counter the frankly absurd amount of government, liberal and special interest minority group propaganda that portrays everything as being rosy and covers up what's really happening.
Not that I actually buy the Mail, The Telegraph is not a bad rag.
In terms of entertainment the best discussion threads tend to be on the Guardian website, especially when people go on there to antagonise lefties.
But The Express wins today's inflamm-a-tory headline of the day with the classic "British Muslims Are Killing Our Troops".

In the Independant they would have worded it "British Troops Are Killing Muslims".Comment
