Dodgy ATC set us up all the time. I filed two reports for one approach and landing because the ATCU was so bad just the other day, at a major EU airport, but I didn't let them talk me into something foolish. Regardless, poor ATC doesn't explain why the crew refused to go around. Let's not look for excuses - if this had been an oriental or African crew, the reactions on here by many would have been quite different.
