When the DC were young (so about 30ish years ago, I suppose), we went to a travelling exhibition in Aberdeen. It was put on by the Anne Frank Foundation (I think - it was certainly the Anne Frank something) and explained very clearly just how easily these things can come about. First there is the fear and distrust of "the other" which creeps insidiously into society, then measures to remove their rights and so on. It was quite frightening, and more so now when "the other" seems to be immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. We all need to be very careful in what we think about what we hear and read, and also about what we say. It could happen here too, dreadful as that is to contemplate.
