This line of bigoted rubbish was so emotively effective that I and others here had to spend several pages trying to persuade another poster that Cherry didn't in fact accuse immigrants of 'leeching' off the system, an accusation the poster had effectively read into the speech for no better reason than that was the tone of the statement, meanwhile the loons protesting his firing outside SN offices in Toronto were going of about immigrant rape gangs crossing the border and the like.
