Surely what these muslim men were doing is a criminal offence......inciting and stirring up racial unrest....surely the police should have stepped in and either arrested them or cautioned them...but ah no....of course not. That would be seen as racial discrimination.
How is it that racial discrimination is a one way street in the UK?

Perhaps the Intelligence/Planners/Senior Officers responsible for the very low number of officers deployed will be the top of the list for being cut:rolleyes:

I do think there is a political agenda at play, as to why the BBC have chosen largely to ignore yesterday's outrage.

Part of the problem is that for years the liberal elite have pandered to minority groups, instead of forcing them to integrate.

Historically wave after wave of people have come to these islands, over the centuries. They still managed to keep their cultural identities, and religious beliefs, but they became part of British society.

State funding should be withdrawn NOW, from every group and organisation that differentiates it's self on religious or racial lines. It's divisive, in that it separates, rather than bringing anyone together.

As Mancie posted, everyone in this country should be free to protest.

However, British citizens should not be legally allowed to call for the deaths of our serving armed forces.

Americas' citizens, one of the most racially diverse countries on the planet, turn incandescent with furious rage if someone burns their flag, yet we sit idly by, whilst what made this country great is quickly being eroded.

The sooner our government realise this, and take into account the views of the vast majority of British people, and ignore the snivelling, idiotic, politically correct, wooly headed, do-gooders, who perpetrate division, the better.

I agree with most of this .... esp. the last sentence:D But I do have a couple of points. As you are no doubt aware, even though my noisy neighbours do get peed when someone burns their flag, a citizen's right to burn, urinate on, wipe his ass on etc their flag is protected by the First Ammendment. It's offensive, but not illegal. Though I can see, in the poppy burning, elements that go beyond a dispicable action. There is definitely a subversive component.

But I do have problems with the concept of forced integration. There has to be another path, and it is not the one that your government seems to be following now.

Not forced integration.

Stop encouraging separation, by supporting anything that's exclusive to race, or religion.

For example, stop producing every offical form being translated into umpteen different languages. This stops people from learning English.

Put the effort into promoting people to learn the language of the country they're living in, which would help them feel part of society as a whole.

The same with every organisations that are exclusively based on race/religion. Remove funding now. It doesn't achieve anything, other than being divise, and driving a greater wedge between people.

re. mention of BBC coverage of the event , not for nothing that many folks around the world think that BBC stands for Black Broadcasting Corporation ;)

Spot on. It is very noticeable that whenever BBC News bulletins centre on schools, there is rarely a white pupil to be seen.
