Re racism: This is why it is important to read all comments in context. The fact is that the race relations act far from creating stability has been misused & turned in one direction only to favour our overseas visitors & offspring. If the parties that be were to address this so that irrespective of nationality all are protected equally ie if a native goes for a job with business run by a foreigner & feels has been discriminated against is given the same rights as for the other way round. The RRA does not provide this at present. Without this balance there in naturally bound to be upset & also plays right into the hands of the likes of the BNP etc.
Likewise my comment of when in Rome- we have to abide by overseas countries regs when visiting or even if going to live abroad- we cannot usurp or overrule their laws & regs, so why does this happen here? Simply back to the RRA, it is a misnomer of law that means foreigners claim it & we have to jump as high as they say. Other countries have integration but not the same race relations agro this country has because they do not have a stupid act as the RRA.
