Way wide of the mark and you have neatly summed up why some people cannot understand the difference between satire and abuse

There was nothing ironic about taht "signature" which on the face of it looked like a somewhat xenophobic statement, because non of us could see who was posting it...

I find a comment that ALL british are suspicious of all things foreign as abuse, simply because it labels me and others as a narrow minded bigots. Comg from and loving the most cosmoplitan city in teh world, I also find it ridiculous

If borat had made that comment or some parody of an aussie say, then i could have laughed it off. But the poster is not a comedian...in the professional sense
