"We do not want those who are 
illegally in the country in Culpeper.
It's not meant to be mean-spirited, 
it's not against any nationality, any 
race, it's not against any socio-economic 
factors. It's about what is legal and 
what is illegal - and to me it's very 
black and white."

+=+ A difficulty in raising matters argued on blml in the WBFLC 
is the low regard that many of the committee members have for 
the quality of debate in this forum. It is quite likely that ton, like 
myself, contributes here largely to alert any TDs who subscribe 
to this forum to the risks of relying upon discussion here as a 
source of guidance. They should be consulting their regulating 
authorities. (It also serves to give us an insight as to the aspects 
on which TDs may be misled.) 
       However, in the case of this claims item the disagreement 
within the DSC is disturbing and lends weight to the case for 
official clarification. It tends to justify treatment in the appendix,
in which regard the balance of opinion in the DSC seems to be 
that (in the words of one member who advocates a minimalist 
approach), it (the proposed appendix) "should be used not to 
draw attention to changes or to explain them but for examples 
which would clarify".
