I found this very very uncomfortable to read and I know it will indirectly offend many people here. I don't know what part of England you live in, but this is outrageous!

However, I can agree with you that racism has increased, and we can look directly to the media for this (particularly the Daily Mail and Daily Express - the most racist, disgusting, headline scare-mongering papers of all). They are using scare tactics to create racism. Check the headlines of any news report in the past few months and you can guarantee that at least half of them will be about problems with the muslim communities.

I dont know what else to say - this is very worrying...

after reading aenigma's post perhaps i shouldnt have written what i did and i read the forum rules before i joined!
i am a new member and the last thing is to start something and get banned .
but i totally agree the media if they dont stop is going to whoop everything in to a frenzy
why o why cant people just live their lives the way they want no matter where they live as long as its not harming anyone's health??
we are supposed to be the most intelligent species on earth so why arnt we behaving as such at times i wish i were a simple snail who's daily life consists of leaving slimy trails everywhere and innocently munching heads off flowers ! second thoughts perhaps not as snails are bl***y pests as well lol

Kind Regards
Jackie
