London.

Just heard a sad piece on the Beeb. A journalist spent time among various poor immigrant groups, and chronicled the experience in his book. He claims that work for these folks somehow gets racially segregated over time. So Eastern Europeans become members of the trades, some starting businesses and doing very well, while Africans and others of color clean the public areas on the underground. Or, white immigrants get cushy nanny type work, while the darker sorts sweep streets. He claims there are many other examples, and that the pay trends in unfair directions that most of us can guess. Of course, being the BBC, one expects PC bias in all they do nowadays (there was a time when this wasn't so), so who knows how valid is this reportage and/or choice of writer guest. CS bloggers around the world, is your experience of the jobs immigrants get in your cities supportive of such racial differences? Is there a new more universal apartheid developing right under our noses? Dooseroo.

Dear fellow bloggers, the above display of anger is the response to my deciding not to delete several blogs, also appearing above. I thought originally that deleting might be preferable, but on consideration of this bloggers other posts, and evolving emails, said I didn't like censuring, but that perhaps in time, after readers had time to enjoy posts, that I might delete some of them, based on requests. It appears the requester to delete may have talked others into doing so. Readers can judge for themselves from my other posts how appropriate this interesting graphic response is. Those with training and work experience in mental health will have particular understanding. I was going to write this poster some helpful suggestions to try to be careful what is posted on the front end, rather than later asking people to help by deleting these. But in spite of long ongoing email exchanges here, mostly involving issues of ortho and complementary/alternative health, ceteris paribus, which over time tended to deteriorate in several ways, the blogger blocked me. Re ipsa loquitur.
