That is illegal, but I don't think it would be racist anyway.
What I mean is, we had a known terrorist living among us
who was under a death sentence for murder in a Middle Eastern
country. It would not have been racist to send him back to that
country to face justice.

That article doesn't prove that the Mail
is factually incorrect.
The article itself makes some very naive
statements, particularly about the Czech republic.
eg. the "Roma refugees" fleeing "racist persecution".
If that were really the case, they would have flooded
into the nearest safe haven, and not travelled across
half the continent and then the English channel.
The article is actually very
unfair towards the Mail in that it accuses the Mail of racism
on the one hand, and yet admits The Mail ran a campaign
to bring the killers of Stephen Lawrence to justice.

More of the same.

This is ludicrous.
Melanie Phillips is Jewish. She is a well known columnist
for the Daily Mail. Ask her if she thinks it's a "Nazi"
newspaper.

So that's a "yes" then?
The BBC website is racist?

Solihull? Is that North? I'm afraid I don't
do "North" :-) We Daily Mail readers live in
the South.
And as for the other question... don't be so
rude!
