I see I've touched a nerve. When you can put forward a balanced view which isn't clearly biased I might bother to enter into a debate with you. Your biased view, is embarrassing . I'm aware of human rights abuses across the globe, and Turkey isn't alone here. The UK hardly boasts an unblemished record in that respect, and nor do many of the EU nations. I will not sit back and have your heavily biased view go by without comment. Why for example did you choose only a few, 2 I think, items in your huge list of items? Hardly balanced is it? As I've said previously, when the UK and Europe can demonstrate that they have taken in as many of these poor unfortunate people as Turkey has, then maybe I'll change my view.
