Vikings: Is it, or is it how they are portrayed? Over here we have many trying to enter into the UK from Afghanistan and other countries.. Some are genuine, some are not. Problem is there are many 'business men' quite happy to make promises that they can get in. But as such, the means to detect entry has gotten better and many end up just waiting on the other side of the channel.
Portraying 'illegal' immigrants as being 'bad' is the same as portraying all school children as bad because a few bad apples (which you get in every barrel ) cause trouble. With respect, Beck's only party prospects over here are such as the BNP. He would not be recognised by our Conservative party or endorsed in any shape or form.
He tries to come across as just "anti - pc".. sure there is merit to that, but he goes beyond that as such using 'illegal' as a sign that they are all bad evil people. It is a subtle change, but one that has been employed for years. The nazi's did it with Jews, Stalin did it over capitalism, McCarthy did it with communists, etc, etc.
I ask you.. does this go for the children as well?
