I'm sure that people would be more likely to accept your minority views if you didn't keep trying to continually shove them down everyone's throats by starting threads about your hatred of celebrities and immigrants etc.

You claim that half the country probably agree with your ultra right wing views yet you struggle to find anyone on this forum that agrees with anything that you post.

She is not talking to you personally, her job as an ambassador for the United Nations refugee agency demands that she comes out and informs the media, she is being used purely as a figurehead, nothing more. She has had the desired effect too, because you are writing about her and because of that discussing the refugees situation!

Hardly a mention of that tbf.

Do you like horseradish?

Time to move forward together.

The EU referendum is proving to be pretty revealing when it comes to peoples views on migration except the right have never really hidden theirs. Although even the left see the problems posed by the exponentially increasing population of London to housing and jobs but they're more against the idea of people opposing migration (AKA racists) than really being in favour of it.

Jamie referred (perhaps jokingly) to foreign food but French cuisine has always been of renown which is more than can be said for whatever delicacies the Polish and other newcomers enrich us with, but what I'm getting at is that you're scraping the barrel if you're actually citing this as one of the benefits of EU membership. I would go to France (with or without visa) to get my wine and cheese if required.

So there you have that mentality (on both sides) which fails to distinguish between Syrians and Slovakians.

The media narrative that celebs who speak out about 'issues' are t***s (or whatever) is there to deflect the actual issues.

If those in the public eye don't highlight 'issues', then who will?
