    How does that evidence:

    'They deny that such a thing as indigenous peoples and cultures exist in order to justify the mass immigration policies they like.'

      Contractor79 is right about one point however.

      There can be no doubt that there is programme of deliberate sociological change, driven by the State, and its desire to micro-manage every aspect of our lives.

      Whether this is for the good of the people, or the good of the State, is debatable.

      See my signature more more details.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          Sorry. I was particularly proud of you. I thought the gory hand was a nice touch. Found the password in an old book. Think I'll be you for a while. I got tired of being AtW and now I'm tired of being me.

            I didn't mind the gory hand. I'm glad your original idea of bringing me out as a raving felchlord toyboy didn't pan out
