    As is clear from my answers to all but RROS that's pretty much where I am. And pretty much where most people are. Just not the ones in far right or far left circles

    Deebunked having read your explanation to why all the photos in the courier were of black or brown people being mainly on that course , I still can’t believe not a single white student didn’t graduate that day on that course , it just seemed to me like the photos were pushing an agenda from either the photographer or the courier ,

    That particular course is one Dundee Uni go out to the world and sell. They make an absolute mint from foreign students who pay for the courses.
    The reality is locally born students who want to study international business tend to go do it elsewhere, partly for the experience of being in another country.

    I suspect the brief from the photographer was to get as many of these smiling foreign faces as possible, for sure that's what they'll promote in the prospectus. Come to Dundee, be welcomed and happy!

    I worked at Dundee uni for over 12 years and you are correct some of these courses make the university money.We had a professor who would go to Singapore each year to recruit students especially for a specific course.
    To have any type of picture at a university is never strange imo.

    I also have a working knowledge of both how and why they do this and agree with you the pictures don't look out of place. If anything they look positive for Dundee.

    No I'm not, shuffling hordes bad, immigrants and families basically the good guys.

    Been proven time after time immigrants take more out than they put in, that's why I want it basically much better management of it....
    And the dingies pushed back, people who get here interred until we can get them out.

    I'll try to make it clearer for you as I know you're not that stupid but people reading might believe otherwise.

    I don't think for a second, and neither do you, that the society enriching elements of immigrants are arriving on dinghies. Those people arriving that way seem to me to be on the whole fighting age young men who I do not welcome. I would call them malevolent and our country should do all it can to stop them. Clear enough?

    The "doctors, scientists and engineers" that you speak of are the kind of people I'd welcome, the kind happy in the graduation pictures in the courier. I'd also welcome specifically Afghan interpreters and their families who risked so much and were abandoned.

    I wouldn't welcome kiddy on war refugees either as to get to the uk many safe places will have been passed through.

    In each of the cases above we have the resources to vet and deal with them all in a quick and transparent way and should not be ashamed to say sorry but you can't come here.

    That doesn't mean we just look at their skin colour and decide.

    As for the shuffling hordes that seems to bother you. I don't give a **** what colour people are who are conning and milking the system. This nation was not built by shuffling hordes it was built by all kinds of endeavour by all kinds of people (and nationalities) none of which are zooming around on methadone in Dundee today.

    The problem with the far right right and the far left is that sensible conversation and debate becomes quite impossible as your deliberately misleading answers on this thread show. Having contempt for junkies and alkies in our town centres is not anti-white in any way and god only knows how you make that jump in your own head.
    There are no ****ing doctors scientists or engi****ingnerrs....that was irony.....white irony.

    Why because there's no white shuffling hordes?

    Black brown yellow positive.

    White negative.

    Nothing to see here.
