everybody will have own views on politics. nations are defined by the people within. comment on Powell is point of view. he was probably before his time. even his ‘racist’ comment on rivers of blood over immigration proved almost prophetic ( policemans head almost severed to be used as a football etc) freedom to move is not a right as such. all areas in world are ‘owned’ by somebody or a collection of people ( called governments) though one may in an idealistic world think one ought to be able to wander anywhere around globe doing as we wish. reality is different due to rules we adhere to ( well most of us) . one has no more right pitch up a tent in somebodies garden than one does to move into another country to suit oneself in most cases . current world trends are altering this at moment with EU seemingly intent of removing any ‘ownership’ rights and saying all must share etc. community ? socialism? etc even communism has point of view one may or may not agree with but all things change given time. It may even seem at odds that such ideas as nation are being set aside to get a ‘bigger’ ( nation?) community of countries. economics of each area (or country) can be destroyed or raised by ‘free’ movement of people. such are the difficulties of modern world. conflict occurring as normal where different ideals. religions etc meet and have opposing views. high population levels as always being base for most issues but no real way of checking growth or dealing with it has arisen as nearly all modern world economics is based on such. ( called growth) can we but hope that in time a more suitable way forward can be arrived at that meets say halfway . compromise often being resolution of many issues.
