I have reread my previous post a few times to ensure that I had quoted the author of asylum seeking darleks. I had, which is good. I'd hate to be guilty of plagiarism.For the first paragraph of your post regarding queries as to the content of the poem, I'll have to direct you to the authors website http://www.attilathestockbroker.com/ where you will find a link to email him your questions and 'helpful lyrical suggestions'.To save you the hassle of asking him about 9/11 and the war in Iraq however, I have included a section of his written opinion taken from the sleeve notes to his CD 'Live in Belfast'."The US and their European allies cynically encouraged the divisions which led to the breakup of the Yugoslav Federation and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. And, most relevant of all in the light of the current crisis, on the same principle 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' they cynically bankrolled the fundamentalists fighting the government of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) between 1979 and 1992. They trained an army of terrorists who murdered intellectuals and teachers trying to bring literacy to the people, who planted bombs in railway stations, brutalised women and turned the PDPA's vision of a modern Afghanistan - technological progress, education, secularism, equality for women and social justice - into a medieval, fundamentalist, rubble strewn nightmare of misogyny and death. And when that vision (or 'carmewnism' to give it its US Government term) had finally been ground into the dust, the US walked away. Leaving that highly trained and massively funded band of terrorists firstly to fight among each other and destroy their country in the process, then for the most extreme of them to bite the unsuspecting hand that had fed them. Which, as we all know, led us to where we are today. The people behind the World Trade Centre bombing had been funded and trained in the latest terrorist techniques by the US government for over 10 years during their operations in Afghanistan. It's as simple as that."I have seen many pictures from Calais, which is why I was inspired to go there and march with thousands of people from all over the world against the capture and control of other human beings.http://www.phototheque.org/photo/28647.html"Will there ever be a time when we have to call a halt to it all, our population is now 60,000,000 plus and birth rates at an all time high."The UN’s database shows that the UK is the fourth most densely populated (that's people to a square mile) country in Europe, behind Malta, Belgium and the Netherlands, and had been since 1950. If birth/death rates, immigration, and migration figures continue to follow the UN's population growth predictions in 2050 we will (wait for it.... drum roll....) STILL be Europe's fourth most densely populated country. So don't panic, stop hiding under that rock and put down the Daily Mail."Can I take it that you are adequately housed, and any children you may have are in a school of their choice."Depends on your definition of adequately housed, I'm quite happy with my current living arrangements. I was a squatter for 5 years until I became pregnant with my daughter, I made the decision that in my opinion squatting wasn't a secure enough environment to raise a young child in (the longest I've lived in one squat was a year, the general life span of a squat is about 3-6 months in my experience) and went on the council housing register where I was put in band C and had to bid on Locata, after spending alot of time in hostels and sleeping on sofas I was told by the council that I could spend up to 12 years bidding and so I decided to give up on it and I had to put my daughter in full time child care when she was 10 months old and work as a waitress to save money up to put down the deposit and up front rent on the privately rented flat I'm in now. My child is just about to start nursery and all the local nurseries and my first choice nurseries were oversubscribed due to 3 local nurseries closing down this year so I have to send her to one about half an hour away, not ideal but nothing to cry about. I wasn't really sure of the motive behind your question so I wasn't really sure what sort of answer you were looking for but I hope I've answered it adequately."but remember racism is not confined to the white British, as you appear to imply"Of course it isn't, Pardon me but where did I imply that? Interesting though that you feel anybody who isn't white British wouldn't be in a golf course or on a shop floor but would infact be strictly confined to a mosque..I don't really want to engage in any more conversation with you, as I take absolutely no pleasure in it whatsoever and I can think of hundreds of other things I'd rather be doing (like rubbing salt into my eyes, drinking paint stripper or watching jeremy kyle). I can however direct you to some very informative and enlightening books, websites and film media if you wish to learn more about immigration, other cultures and discussion on current social and ethical issues (things that may be slightly more truthful and slightly less like something you'd read on the back of a BNP leaflet.)
