No offence, but we did the same to other countries in the past. The British wiped out half the maori and other indigenous people in the South Pacific, the Spanish infected half of South America, etc, etc...

What goes around, comes around seems to be quite appropriate here :D

The naked truth is, unless you completely isolate yourself from other countries/regions/counties/boroughs/towns, viruses and bacteria will carry on spreading, since bugs that we in Kent are almost inmune to, may be almost deadly for someone up in Yorkshire. The problem is that avoiding contact with other countries/regions/counties/boroughs/towns leads to a very boring life, with everyone following the sexual life of the hillbillies (or Sheppey)

Also, the fact that some paranoid parents followed the advice of a lunatic professor from the US and denied their children vaccinations, is creating a situation where mumps, measles and rubeola are approaching endemic proportions again. The lifestyle of some sectors in the population(i.e. the sharing of spoons in burger bars) favour the spread of infection. As someone pointed out, people going abroad on holiday are likely to bring some nasty surprise home. Ergo, not all the blame in the current state of health (or lack thereof) can be blamed on inmigrants, wether legal or not.

Let's not start fuelling those braindeads aka BNP and partners.

true but at the same time lets not stifle debate with comments such as

which lead to people not commenting for fear of being accused of something

Au contraire, the problem is that some knucleheads could take the comments the wrong way, and start calling names, or even worse, think that we house people like that and decide to stay.

Even though I agree that inmigration is one of the factors in the rise of new/thought erradicated illnesses, it is not the main one, and it could actually fuel the views of those *****.

I hate PC for the sake of it (as an example, being spanish, I thought what happened last year  was an offence to the memory of those who died in Trafalgar, and would not in the least have minded if the "fleets" had been designated England v Spain+France, but indeed would have preferred it), but sometimes a bit of common sense in place will avoid the PC brigade going berserk.

Thats the point though isnt it? You are silencing anyone who might have a valid point to make with the threat that they will be branded a "*****"

We dont know that as we are not allowed to investigate/publish any race related figures (that I am aware of).
As an adendum to that point, the 2 kids with TB I mentioned at my school were both asian. I only know this because the nurse had to tell me which kids it was as I teach them both. I go for a screening next week (there is a very low chance that I have contracted anything btw). We have been instructed not to tell anyone, who dosnt need to know, who they are.

There is a danger that some elements will take the sound bites and use them to their advantage but at what cost to the truth (or possable truth/untruth)?
