Dedworth, I "know" you well enough through the forum & I know we've had a run-in, in the past...Even become quite fond of you.Take a lot of what you say with a pinch of salt, at times even agree with you.
But in this case, I agree with johncar & others will too, "the ethnic enemy within" could easily be construed as a racist remark, even if you don't agree? Yeah I know you're going to call me a woolly liberal & I'm really not going to get into an arguement. You'll probably interpret what I'm saying differently anyway?
But this is a public forum & there are many guests online, at any one time. I wouldn't want any genuine racists picking up on certain remarks like that & adding fuel to their fire. I'm married to a Filipina & I want her time here, if we live here? to be as smooth as possible. There is a lot of racial tension already, in this country & this affects all of us.
Johncar was also right, you do have to be careful what you post on a public forum. Where I used to work, a work colleague was sacked, along with two others from another office, over remarks they were making on an internet public forum.The Bosses had been watching them for a while & swooped, escorting them off the premises.
