Love them or hate them, those Frenchies seem to get things done.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get all those who have come into this country from France in the backs of lorries, back over the Channel into France so quickly?

...those Frenchies seem to get things done.
Wouldn't it be nice if we...
'The roommate was screaming for her friend, getting very upset. She was crying. I was really scared. It was happening really quickly.'
It does not surprise me that AOG should so gleefully support this knee-jerk thuggish behaviour.
Of course the French should not have behaved so intolerably. No praise from me, only condemnation.

Once,once again yet another typical example of how the likes of Gromit and co. will take a section out of a whole sentence completely out of context.

Conveniently cut short to enable him to get his liberal minded views across. Oh! how it must have hurt him to read the rest, my whole reason for the posting.
Yes follow his tactics, first he will try to alienate a person by tugging on the heart strings of his followers, hence his sentence he so conveniently highlighted in bold text. Then he followed by placing himself on the moral high-ground.
But one will notice the part of my sentence he so conveniently kept out. I refer of course to those illegal immigrants, but suppose even Gromit dared not take these under his ever warm and caring wing, that would have been far too much.
In the future Gromit if you must take things out of context, please try to be clever enough to be a little more astute.

I think Gromit has a point... Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're saying is that you'd like to see the same kind of decisiveness applied to illegal immigration.
So what you seem to be saying is that you approve of this kind of action. The example you've given, however, is quite plainly a knee-jerk reaction: it's totally heavy-handed, and - based on some figures Gromit provided in a previous subject - Europe's relatively low incidence of swine flu appears to be in part due to their lower number of foreign holidays.
Cue generic insults to my intelligence...

As there are many times more folk in England who have swine-flu than in the rest of the UK, perhaps there should be a restriction on travel outwith England.
Wasn't the first cases of Swine Flu in the UK reported in Scotland?

Are you suggesting that there should have been a restriction on travel from Scotland, in the first instance?

First you falsely accuse me of supporting this knee-jerk thuggish behaviour.
And then you said the French should not have behaved so intolerably. No praise from me, only condemnation.
And then finally you choice to state that this news story was benign, (having little or no detrimental effect, harmless)
Make up your mind.

Make up your mind.
Yesterday the Scots Government said there were 47 flu-like (not necessarily swine-flu) cases per 100,000 of the population or approximately 2429 cases in Scotland. Fifty-five folk have been hospitalized and there have been four deaths linked to swine-flu.
In England, the rate is 157 per 100,000, more than treble that in Scotland. There are currently at least 850 folk in hospital being treated for swine-flu ( I have not been able to establish the total hospitalized) that is at least fifteen times Scotland�s figure. There have been twenty-six deaths in England related to swine-flu, more than six times that of Scotland.
Even allowing for the fact that England�s population is ten times that of Scotland and England�s population density is six times that of Scotland, there is something seriously wrong with England�s health .
The first cases were reported in Scotland, so why then, has the infection not had more impact within Scotland?
