Re: Turkey
I note from Purwell's quote those typical xenophobic words"These are treacherous people .... ".
It seems that there are some who still do not realize how stupid it is to tar all those of one nationality with the same brush.
One would hope that extensive travel would reveal to a normal person that there are 'the good, the bad and the ugly' in every society.
Hell, I knew that whilst still a teenager, never having been outside my own state.
There are serial killers in Britain. There are paedophiles in Australia.
Therefore, all Brits are serial killers, all Aussies are paedophiles
and all Turks are treacherous.
How ridiculous.

Re: Turkey
Being a multi-cultural country I do not believe we need to travel the globe to see what is in store for us, if we stay in the EU. You only have to take a bus or a train and travel to areas such as Bradford/Birmingham/Greenford and Southall,Harlesden/ Brixton/Peckham/Tower Hamlets/Finchley and that is just a few off the top of my head. It would be different if they tried to mix and learn the English language and abide by our laws. But they don't and also because our immigration system is weak how many terrorists are we allowing in the country playing the card of down trodden people.I have lived in Spain and found it a fantastic country but it needs to be said like Italy and a lot of med countries pretty racist. At least we do give every culture a chance.
Have a look at this this is the Turkey government.
I think its a great idea I believe watching the British MP's fighting in the Parliament could be the next big reality tv show..

But I guess it depends on the individual's prejudice and IQ.
Purwell quoted one of our most seasoned travelers (allegedly) saying, of the entire Turkish nation
"These are treacherous people".
And that is as stupid as using the collective "they" or "them" when implying that all Muslims are terrorists.
