General Discussion
It's quite obvious smella is a plant in this forum, he/she has no interest in knitting and is here for one reason only, to stir things up.
Seems like smella has clocked back on duty, must be on the late shift.
The subject of the threads that so upset you were perfectly valid topics for the people who originated them, I really don't know wny you think the folk of Dawlish should live in some kind of PC bubble and not discuss such things. I am also rather astonished that you apparently moved from London to Dawlish without knowing much about the town at all, perhaps you should have done a bit of reseach ...

If immigration is so beneficial to the country why don’t we just let lots more come in? Of course any sane government would also consider the economic and social consequences of large scale immigration. All the newcomers have to be housed, require medical care, schools for their children and jobs. I think we already have plenty of problems in those areas as it is. And then there is the ...
