That's the stupidest argument I've heard for ages. Just about *any*
words, for example "Well, I've had a busy afternoon in the garden",
might sound sinister coming from Fred West. That doesn't mean there's
anything wrong with them as such.

That's fine, but it doesn't address the earlier poster's point, which is
that *he* wants to expel a hostile minority that he (rightly or wrongly)
thinks is endangerin g his way of life. In fact, you're actually
*defending* his argument, since you are saying you want to do exactly
the same as he does.
