What FACTS have you got to justify this statement?

This politically slanted publication is one that other may not agree with. And if you are using to justify immigration into the UK are you seriously suggesting that the UK is primarily responsible for the present grain shortages worldwide? Perhaps you are conveniently forgetting the vastly increased consumption of both grains and fuel in the BRIC countries, especially India and China. Or the rapidly increasing world population, especially outside the West. Or going back in time, the 'green revolution' that vastly increased world food production.

I'd be interested to see some real facts. How did we "drain" Poland "over the decades"? Or countries like those in Africa whose economies have been wrecked by local dictators, despite billions in aid.

the west benefits from them and keeps them in power, turning a blind eye til they become trouble.
the burma junta would not exist without that kind of complicity.

That's just a cop-out. Another unsustainable sweeping generalisation.
