Did you notice how quiet Michael Howard's been over the whole Romanian asylum seeker 'scandal'? He's left all the shouting to David Davis and just lurked in the background. Couldn't be connected to this from the BBC website, could it?
...the Howard family, who are Jewish, settled in Llanelli after fleeing from Romania between the two world wars.
No, this isn't some pathetic joke i'm trying to make. it's just the kind of bullshit that annoys me since, just yesterday, a older guy i've become friends with started slagging off the right of Somalians to be hanging around a street-corner in Dublin since "it's not like they're fleeing from a war or anything". What's most annoying? That I'm a child of economic migrants? That it turns out HE is too? That my beloved marriage factor is? OR THAT SOMALIA HAS BEEN AT WAR WITH ITSELF FOR THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS?"
