And there we have the crux of the problem ! If these limited views (within this forum) are a reflection on the broader Society as a whole then surely it is no wonder the levels of resentment & alienation, felt throughout the populace (irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity, origin & so-forth) is in such an inflammatory state & the longer the situation persists, the more embittered & embattled the relevant sides will become & the cries of racist certainly won't help alleviate the whole sorry mess ! So the EDL & their counter-parties, love them or loathe them are in their way raising awareness of the underlying tensions, that without rectification will lead to much greater problems.
Having just read the following article & the comments we see again what is mentioned above, just because people have vastly differing views especially upon this particular subject (excessive immigration) does this make Cameron a racist ?
