Refugees can all be treated like 'suspects' now, or potential terrorists, vilified in the press and detained in camps, or prison, indefinitely---
Hence Blunketts plan to convert foreigners into Brits and make them swear allegience to UK interests, instead of the interests of their homelands, which we are destroying, which is the cause of them seeking asylum in the first place!
The added bonus is that the massacre of Palestinians, can be termed "counter-terrorism" instead of racist murder.
Seen
it's doubethink!

don't underestimate the problems that exist in the asian community up there. my best mate (a white muslim, tho only by marriage) lives in Bradford. his asian stepson came back from school one day and told him that he was sure that Israel was behind the WTC attacks and that was what all his school mates thought.
my mate actually became a muslim on September 11 (timing eh?). The Imam (???) who carried out the ceremony was also convinced that Israel was behind the attacks.
regardless of whatever else is going on the voluntary segregation practiced by some asian communities in the UK only adds to the misunderstandings and mutual suspicion is some areas.
any Our Tone wants to increase the number of faith-based schools....

voluntary?

The best analysis I've read yet on the riots and their background is from the independent Institute for Race Relations. And guess what, here's a link to their report:

I agree absolutely that they have been the victims of social deprivation and racism but they have some responsibility for their segregation too.
treating any group (regardless of ethnicity, gender, whatever) as being wholly innocent in any scenario like this won't get us far dealing with the problem.
