They should be allowed to appear on question time, at least then they can answer questions people have on them instead of being called racist. I mean they have pretty left wing views but its not inherintly racist to stop people immigrating to the country.
It
is inherently racist to suggest sinking ships carrying immigrants though, isn't it ?
Ah yes but I recently did a case study on the island of Lampedusa. The ammount of illegal immigrants getting there by boat cripples their infrastructure, not to mention the many dozens of ships that miss the island resulting in the deaths of the passengers. If those smuggling ships were stopped at the port or sunk in the port/just off shore then it would give the passengers a chance to get to safety. They don't get that chance when something goes wrong in the middle of the medditeranean.
It isn't racist to not want people getting into a country illegally. Or else it would be racist to not allow people to break into a house. You can't use the race card to get away with doing something illegally. It is reletively easy to get asylum nowadays anyway - just say you will get killed if you return home and bam, you have european asylum!
oh I didn't realise it was right wing not left, haha shows how politically minded I am
