Ah! now that begs a question, did we drift or were we pushed towards a topic that is so much easier to apportion highly emotive blame against a minority?

A master of manipulation wouldn't find it too difficult.

Lets see if we can stop this drift by substituting a different example Off the top of my head equally emotive and also without much hope of being fixed in my lifetime by any party, how about the NHS that should get the old 'rivers of blood' attitude a good airing

Not enough blood donors, not enough organ donors, not enough politicians wanting to grasp this embarrassingly weeping sore and give it a decent injection that could mean a cure for many a poor soul and if you want to play the touch of a racist card heavily dependent on people of all colours helping for very little reward.
