I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

I live on a Council estateSo if anyone would be likely to be "passed over" it would be the folks living round me (not me as such, someone did a right-to-buy on mine years ago, ao I own it). My next door neighbour once mentioned this supposed phenomenon to me at a barbecue, so I said to him "Brian, yo live on a council estate, and so do most of your friends. You've been blue collar all your life, and know lots of people living on benefits. Can you think of even one example of immigrants/asylum seekers being given preference over someone you know, in reality?"
Thankfully Brian is a thinking man by nature if not by descent, and he admitted he hadn't, and that come to think of it, it was probably all bollocks, wasn't it. It is possible to persuade people through logic.
