The ultimate question is: what are our politicians, leading
civic figures and our media doing to try to eradicate the
bigoted views above, and to neutralise the difference in
attitudes towards the groups, so that individuals from all
backgrounds can be treated equally when entering or remaining
in this country?
Thus spoke Mr. Cosmopolitan . . . for the complete
cosmopolitanization (globsalisation) of society, in which he
sees his own interests optimally served, along with those of
state and capital.

In my first post I called Joseph Harker, "Mr Cosmopolitan",
but on reflection I realised my mistake. He is not a true
cosmopolitan (assuming there is such a thing), but a very
selective and opportunistic one.
I hope he will put me right if I'm misjudging him, but my
impression is that he has a strong sense of black identity with
people of African or part-African origin, which he wants the
rest of society to be completely open to. Yet I very much doubt
that he identifies with my ethnic group of native (white)
Europeans anymore than I do with his.
I hasten to add that I'm referring to groups and group
identity, not individuals, who, first and foremost, are all
human beings, of course - a cause of much confusion in our
confused times.
