Which is worse creating a light-hearted poster using photoshop or effectively saying "I want you and your people to die."?

In first-past-the-post elections - unless you're particularly stupid or American - you vote for a candidate, not a party.
It does strike me as odd that someone without a good grasp of English would consider running for office or would have been naturalised...Speaking of Erith:

And Cook to Foreign Secretary..."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

Hey I didn't create AIDS.
Diseases aren't sexuality specific you know- H.I.V. infects HUMANS. And, by the way- A.I.D.S. is a 'syndrome' not a disease. You might want to learn the difference before exposing your ignorance for us all to laugh at.

Let me get this straight- this guy is currently applying for asylum? Doesn't this imply that he is not yet a citizen? Why would any country allow a non-citizen to hold an elected seat? Imagine if I were to fly a whole bunch of Texans over there and have one of the Bush family elected to Parliament? Hey, here's an idea- boat the whole of southern England over to Ireland and elect Ireland back into the UK- effectively ending the whole IRA problem.

Yep, it'd be much better to have a rep that isn't able to understand his constituents.

A failing that never seemed to hold back all those non-Spanish speaking or comprehending Anglo politicians in the states taken from Mexico. Or those in Quebec, who couldn't or wouldn't speak French. Or Tlingit, Athabascan, or frankly any language other than English.Originally posted by Ramo

well, you would think the other party(ies) would have been able to run a campaign that at least informed the voters that this man couldn't speak English.
Either way the people elected him, therefore he should be able to hold office and have a translator.
However, the idea of labeling people who do not support him as racist is absurd. There is too much name calling in politics.Comment

It's not an advantage here in Canada, or in France to speak English only.

Given the state of local politics in many parts of england a councillor who actually tries to represent his constituents, even if he has difficulty with English, is a lot better than those elected on a party ticket who are then never seen again for four years.Never give an AI an even break.Comment
