Re: Immigration Policy
I don't dare comment on EU, as there are so many people around here who shout "racist!" as soon as anyone dares to suggest that the EU is anything but perfection, but I do have to defend Earl Grey tea - or whatever it might be called now
. It is absolutely delicious, but only if you get a decent one. Jackson's of Piccadilly is the best, but Twinings is acceptable, too. Twinings have also named a tea after the good Earl's wife - Lady Grey - which also contains bit of orange. It is a bit lighter and less perfumed than Earl Grey. I also love Lapsang Souchong.

Sorry! If we can't be accused of being racists, then lets try another tack!

Re: Immigration Policy
Is that a guilty conscience coming out? It's not that people can't comment about EU or immigrants, its when they try to lump folks together, and make statements like "Am not a rascist but......"
But what? On the tea front, jacksons of piccadily are alright ( scary price ), but you have got to give it to Earl Grey, that one is the canine's testicles
