The position that immigrants should be allowed to drown / rounded up and shot with no concern at all for who they actually are as individuals, is not so justifiable.

True, this word 'hate' is banded about too easily I don't hate those who make those comments in the mail and other areas. It is a shock when you see them there in as much as the mail is seen as the 'average' paper read by 'average' people. It's the normalisation of such extremist language is what I feel is the creeping rot, nobody is shocked or even surprised that people in need would be castigated and vilified for doing nothing but attempting to survive. I'm not surprised in the slightest the term nazi is used regularly to describe these standpoints.
