Re: Call for focus on ethnic tensions
Derek i wasn't baiting i was just asking for something more then BNP propaganda in relation to what Trevor was saying. Trevor i have the joy of living near Leicester and i know how bad racial tensions are as i see it very often in that city. I agree with you to a point Trevor that the truth in this country is not being told but i wouldn't go as far as some groups do on the matter. I believe we have a situation where people are hoping for the best while ignoring a growing sense of unrest amongst many in the country regarding the matter of race and immigration amongst other matters.
What i don't want to see is trouble on the streets or one group hating another i do think it is possible for different people from different backgrounds to live together but i think it needs better handling then the slapdash "it looks and sounds good so it will be good" approach that has been infesting the UK for the last 30 years. We need to learn about each others cultures and also learn to respect them and understand having them does not degrade our own culture but that takes time and one government wouldn't be able to claim credit for it so unlikely to happen in the UK anytime soon.
I also think that people focus their discontent on race and immigration because it has something easy to identify and direct their discontent on rather then the many many other issues that are angering people all over the UK such as rising food and energy costs the feeling we have a government that doesn't give a damn or live on the same planet as we do.
