Apparently I'm Xenophobic

This month’s MSA Newslink carries an article stating that EU migrants are able to go over to Northern Island in bus loads to take their Theory Test because they can use the voice over translation. Then come back and drive on our roads.  Rather defeats the objective of banning translators over here don’t you think.
But what has really sent me over the top is the statement made by the instructor who taught me to drive, now head of the MSA, someone I’ve respected for more than 30 years.
At the end of a long maddening article John ends with.  Quote. ‘It does make you wonder whether scrapping translations had nothing to do with road safety but everything to do with playing to the UKIP/xenophobic crowd.’
Apparently 70% of us MSA members were in favour of scrapping translators, I thought my reason was because or road safety, apparently not, I’m xenophobic.
