I AM going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons I’m afraid.

In this day and age there is no such thing as racism or religious wars - it is hatred, greed and ignorance that has been bred into this generation.

The Troubles in Ireland still take place but are now gangster drug related - nothing to do with who you pray to.

The racism card is used far to often incorrectly, I’m against the illegal influx of immigrants coming into the UK no matter their colour, religious or sexual beliefs simply because we as a small island cannot cope.

Our NHS is in turmoil, our police force is in meltdown and our Government doesn’t know its arse from its elbow. If we were stable and ran like a country should be then I would say ‘great let’s help everyone’, but it isn’t and we can’t.

Does this mean I’m racist?
