I had what could be described as a difference of opinion with campaigners against asylum seekers in Kent. I drew attention to some of the disingenuous mendacity they were engaging in - claiming asylum seekers were a drain on the health service when half the nurses and a quarter of the doctors are actually born overseas.....this led them to play their trump card.
Although my local hospital is in Kent, I actually live a couple of hundred yards from the Kent border in West Sussex. This was the clinching argument for them, I had no business interfering with Kentish matters if I was a foreigner from Sussex.
(Of course they had no objection to BNP activists being bussed down from London)
Interestingly they got a lot of support from a character using the internet soubriquet "Welsh Witch" and the BNP celebrate the birthday of a guy called Hitler who wasn't technically from Kent either.
