I watched most of the programme and found it really upsetting.I was so angry .The young lad Sonny was shocking.....but where does he learn that behaviour from? His parents?I noticed the word Paki was used an awful lot.That was used way back in the 60's I think
I remember my maths teacher at senior school(who I had liked) saying that if a 'coloured family moved into his street he would move out as it would lower the tone and the prices of the houses.I was so disgusted ,I never spoke to him again.

I am not a racist and I do not condone the policies of the BNP. However I have to admit that Nick Griffin raises pertinent points that the other parties ignore. He was criticised today for using wartime images of spitfires and soldiers to highlight the BNP and the interviewer also said he was wrong to wear a poppy. Griffin replied that the poppy was a symbol of remembrance and that he had the right to wear it. He then said that the very people criticising him for wearing it were not against charging legless servicemen in Selly Oak hospital, both white and black, to watch the TV or make telephone calls to their loved ones. He went on to say that when that matter was redressed he would take his poppy off.

He has a point.

don't be fooled into thinking that racism is the province of the under-educated. It most certainly is not.

My daughter is married to a Zambian. They both studied at Durham University, where they both gained doctorates. When they walked through "leafy Durham" together they were often heckled - not by hoody-wearing degenerates, but by Durham Uni students. I won't repeat what was verbally flung at them by the so-called intellegensia - progeny of the British upper-middle classes.

Ignorance knows no class boundaries.

to night the door bell went
and when i answered it
it was a Pakistani young man about 24
he was doing a survey i invited him in
and we had the most wonderful conversation between the questions

and our worlds were a million miles
from each other but not so different
we well sorted the world out
and before he left
he took my hand and said
i will be praying for you and your family joy at the mosque

i though how sweet it that
