Oh, I do keep trying, Christine.  Unfortunately my success rate in having my comments published is around one in ten.  Add to this the fact that the reasonable comments are lost in the multitude of bigoted ones.

But yes, despite vowing to myself that I won&#039;t bother anymore, I still persist is sending comments every now and then.]]></description>

Totally agree, Kenneth. I have pleaded concern on many occasions in response to some of the more racist and filthy comments appearing in The Times. I have not passed muster once.  I think that the moderator must be eiither blind and stupid or is a racist him/herself.]]></description>

@Kenneth.... Keep on trying please- I think it is important that we continue replying  to these people with facts and make them look ignorant (which they are, given that they write such nonsense comments)]]></description>

I&#039;m guessing most of her students&#039; parents and the school head have no problem that kids are being taught by one who publicly spouts xenophobic lies and racist crap. 

In another country she would get to keep her job for exactly 10 seconds after posting one of her habitual hate-filled comments.]]></description>

Same here. 

One of the unpublished comments was for instance, asking DR EMMANUEL BEZZINA,MA,MAG.JUR.[EU Law],LL.D., why he trivializes the plight of people fleeing the warlords of Somalia or the brutal regime of Eritrea, when he was so hell bent on defending (inc. giving regular press conferences) two asylum seekers fleeing the horrific government of France:
