Thank you very much for giving me the platform. I'm not sure which fellow Brit you mean, so I'll deal with both.

If we're talking about quidnunc, we can deal with it fairly quickly, The poor chap has a terrible chip on his shoulder about my country. Every day he posts more and more excitable emails, slamming the nation of my birth and metaphorically urinating on my flag. I can only wonder how a British poster would be treated were they to do the same to the US.

If we're talking about 1066AD, he makes some very good points about Enoch Powell, a fine politician who was treated shabbily by the establishment. If you go back and read the speech now, it's difficult to argue with much of what he says. He wasn't a racist, he was saying that the British people would respond badly to bulk immigration, especially if the new families were just lumped into poor areas. He was predicting, quite astutely, conflict, but he wasn't actually blaming the immigrants for it. Merely the circumstances.

Read a few of quid's works, quite acerbic, isn't he. Don't agree with him too much, but then, whenever one of you posters from Blighty get all flighty and snooty, it does get one's heckles up you know. Perhaps he had a few Anglo-Israelites get to him.
