An anti immigration view is endemic

Having some of them start chopping up British soldiers in the streets is
supposed to *endear* them to us?

Ah yes, the "them and us" mentality again. People are individuals, just
because someone does an act of atrocity supposedly in the name of some
religion does not mean everyone following that religion is going to
start chopping people up. This sort of tribal mentality really holds us
back as a species.


and now you have the nutters in UKIP as well as the Conservative
party to voice your narrow opinions.

All opinions are valid.


No they're not.

Excuse me?!

Whether you personally agree with someone's opinion is one thing, but
that doesn't alter the fact that everyone is entitled to belive what
they like!


Agreed, but that is not the same as saying all opinions are valid, which
is the statement I was disagreeing with.

For example, if I want an opinion on a particular subject, then the
opinions of someone who is an authority in that subject would be valid
whereas the opinions of someone who is clueless on that subject would
probably be useless.
