Dawkins position has been criticised by ourselves in more than one article so i won't dwell on your reference to himI returned to the migrants topic to see if i was guilty of personal disrespect to yourself. It wasn't until #53 that i accused you of being a racist, I gave you lengthy replies to your posts since that is what serious debate is all about, covering all the ground…And you, in return, responded at length point by point. I decided it was no longer a fruitful exchange and declined to continue it as i was frustrated by your state of denial…racism and racialism being somehow differentI may well have misunderstood your argument but i think not although  pot  and kettle comes to mind when you assume we agree with "social engineering and do not expect workers themselves to learn by self-education and i gave a concrete example to cement my case by referring to local miners attitudes changing to Lithuanians simply by experience of working alongside and sharing in the class struggle together as comrades in arms and not enemies.But i am pleased that you continue to take an interest in the forum and note that our case has been consistent in that we have opposed the 2014 Scottish referendum and the 2017 Catalan referendum and opposed the ethnic/religious poitical divide and rule tactics being practice throughout the world. Certainly, one sure thing we cannot be accused of is courting popularity by abandoning our principles
