I suppose he had read this article. It is terrible that this might be the case where this type of journalism does a lot of damage as people believe it. I am watching Hugh at the inquiry and he is a star. He made (now understandable) allusion to this horrible person.lunalobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962503140772058927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-17026275655441309562010-11-25T18:44:51.458+00:002010-11-25T18:44:51.458+00:00Ms Platell is not only an immigrant, her parents o...Ms Platell is not only an immigrant, her parents or ancestors before them must have been immigrants to Australia themselves.

There are so many immigrants who have contributed to Britain, given something or filled a niche that the local population couldn't, that I wonder what planet the woman lives on. I don't think she mixes very much with the lower middle-class and below working and not working people or she'd realise that many of the 'spongers' (to use a good old Australian term) are the very people she seems to be defending. If there wasn't the work for migrants to do they wouldn't be here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-52594546835537627892009-08-30T19:20:45.603+01:002009-08-30T19:20:45.603+01:00Sorry guys - if I had known you (and the Quail) ha...Sorry guys - if I had known you (and the Quail) had posted/were going to post I would have saved myself the effort!MacGuffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068286622218492768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-41639686634489189352009-08-30T10:50:33.609+01:002009-08-30T10:50:33.609+01:00I posted something on this as well.

Really was a shocking article, so devoid of any facts or true figures, yet sadly many people in the comments are praising her 'for telling it like it is' etc.<br /><br />At least some people are posting about what a load of lies and stereotypes she has written.Uponnothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159910203740061052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-25319884979668840872009-08-29T21:02:59.753+01:002009-08-29T21:02:59.753+01:00Bugger - you beat me to it!Bugger - you beat me to it!Five Chinese Crackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395982651352498540noreply@blogger.com
