I'm afraid we really are our own worst enemies: free handouts for all, free healthcare for all, etc., etc.

In the case of (say) Islam-o-phobia the compound word has nothing to do with an unreasonable fear of Islam but instead it implies a rabid and justified hatred of Islam.
Similarly xeno-phobia has nothing to do with a fear of things strange (xeno) usually foreigners, but instead it means a dislike of foreigners and that is usually invoked to downplay loyalty to one's own or in my case chosen country.

Re: Illegal Immigrants Crossing the Channel.
HiLet me make one thing perfectly clear, the protection of our Borders is our responsibility, it is not the French or anybody else.
We have not done it, the last Home Secretary who took this seriously was a Labour Home Secretary.
May was a disadter from start to finish.
Boris is even worse.
Taking back Control?
Don't make me laugh, Boris is wanting an Amnesty for the Illegals already here.

Once free of the corrupt and profoundly undemocratic European Commission (the real power in the EU) the route will be clear for all sorts of good things not least a rapid reduction of our population by MILLIONS.

Really?
You would not be here if we had not let your ancestors in.
As for survival of the fittest, Israel would be long gone without our help.
My job was to protect all, even idiots like you.

That was uncalled for Swims.We have helped many people but few have assimilated and been a real asset to the country as have the Jewish community .
As for Israel it gets help but it helps itself too its people are hardworking intelligent and courageous that's why it has survived .

Israel is our friend. The Israelis are doing nothing other than defending themselves against the constant attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah.
Almost all muslim nations have stated their hatred of the Jews and despite Israel possessing land a fraction of the size of the combined muslim countries, they'd still love to drive the Israelis into the sea. Evil members of an evil religion.
