Racism in Britain today.

Debate: so who thnks this is a good thing, for the sailor or for the lads whose lives have been ruined by the legal action that followed?

Case Study: Indian sailor died after attack by gang of 20 youths

Gregory Fernandes, a 32-year-old sailor from Goa in India, was walking back to the cargo ship he worked on in Fawley, Hampshire when he and a friend were set upon by a 20-strong gang of youths. It was October 2007. Mr Fernandes was his family's breadwinner. A passerby broke up the fight and drove Mr Fernandes to his cargo ship, but he dropped dead from a heart attack.

Police concluded that the attack, which took place in a normally quiet backwater of Hampshire, had clear racist overtones. The gang had been shouting "Paki" during the assault. In January 2008, the Fernandes family expressed concern at the police investigation and the failure to charge anyone in connection with his death. Three young boys were later charged with his murder. At their trial in February 2009, the three admitted lesser charges of manslaughter. In March 2009, Stephen Pritchard, 18, Daniel Rogers, 18, and Chay Fields, 16, were sentenced to six-and-a-half years. A 15-year-old boy admitted GBH on Mr Fernandes' friend and was given a 12-month detention and training order. Another 15-year-old who admitted assault was given an 18-month supervision order.

There are plenty of things to judge a person on, colour of skin is not one of them.

plank. for someone who wanted to change the topic in our other thread, it seems a bit strange that YOU should start this thread, are you an activist?? because it seems as if you want to stir trouble, if you are against racism why start this thread, all you will do is upset the racist, like me, and then i will let you know the truths of while im a racist,. ok rant over i wont bite on this topic.

if immagrants came here with a spesific skill needed by this country no one would realy care but when they bypass other countrys to get onto our easy going system and then crow about how hard done by they are and need sharia law p*ss off back to whence you came.
i have never voted as dont see a difference in the lying bstds who i have the choice from but if bnp fielded a candidate i and 99% people i know who never vote would vote due to this one isue.

one thing confuses me , if the bnp/edl et al are so popular and hold the views of the majority of the country ..... why are they not in government ? ..... could it be that the majority of the population dont agree with their policies ? .... surely not ...... or maybe they dont have enough confidence in fielding a candidate ? ....or perhaps they dont support democracy ?

and what confuses me is, why some people stand up for these immigrants, some are justifiably welcome, but the type who only come here to bleed the system dry, are in my opinion not welcome, perhaps you (pete) and some other immigrant lovers on here, could put up a family of god knows how many, so OUR children can have homes of their own, because my kids cant get a poxy council house because they are given to the immigrants first. what do you reckon any offers to house the aliens.

Agree without reservation if thats their purpose in being in the country, but its not just them who are shafting the system.

Now that really is an interesting statement. Nowhere, but nowhere on here have I seen anyone declare carte blanche love for immigrants
