I am not entirely comfortable with Irving having been imprisoned for his beliefs and indeed found the poem revealing myself I certainly understand what you are saying about beliefs having been different when he grew up and I tend to have quite right wing beliefs myself in terms of personal responsibility etc I guess denigrating Rastas is distasteful to me and my partner is black which is nt an issue here but I feel would be were I to take her to Britain as rascist attitudes are held by many more people than here and Irving s poem seemed to symbolize all that I dislike about white UK rascists Honduras is great just bought a house here on thursday so after nearly 3 years outside the UK I am really committing myself to being here and given the close connections I have with family and the UK media news radio etc I do nt want to go back Do nt think I could have been happy here in the pre broadband age though
