Lawnmower accidents are an ACCIDENT.!!
TERRORISM is with intent, glad your comfortable with that!

For those people who think 99.9 are all good
could they please come out of their bubble and look to the future. People described as on "the right" don't look now but to the future. Tommy Robinson has legitimate concerns not fairy tails or dreams.
I'm worried and so sad,why can't people see what is happening.

'Almost all (95 per cent) described feeling loyal to Britain and believed they should obey British laws (93 per cent).'

Surely this is the main concern? Most Irish had sympathy for the conditions which guelled the IRA whilst still condemning the violence.

As for integration, I think it actually goes deeper than class as Matov suggests. I think a large part of it is the isolationism we feel as individuals to our community - that there is 'no such thing as society' as Thatcher said - and I think this is connected to the ideology of neoliberalism which the West has tried to spread across the world.

I see it when I go back to where I was raised, Wimbledon, which when I grew up was mainly a lower middle class white area. The chip shop has gone, so have most of the independent cafes, and the local community hall. These were places I remember as a kid going to and seeing people I knew, from all walks of life. You knew the owners, you knew the waitresses by name. Nowadays theyve been replaced by Joe and the Juices and Estate Agents. The area is a lot more mixed, and a lot more wealthy. But there is an absence of society as Thatcher prophesied, and while no one is poor enough to feel genuine animosity towards their neighbours, integration rarely extends beyond your own front door, regardless of skin colour.

Where I work now, in Tower Hamlets, is almost like a different country. You are shadowed by the city skyscrapers but surrounded by extreme poverty. Drug addicts of all races saunter around the roads, kids are either bunking school on the road or in overcrowded, underfunded schools with little access to decent education. Yes, it is a large Bangladeshi community but ironically there has always been a far greater feeling of integration than in Wimbledon. Outside Whitechapel library, stalls flogging fresh veg and clothing, and down Commercial Street a number of curry and kebab houses, where I can buy a cheap meal and be welcomed almost too amicably. True, there is gang violence and much of that is ethnic based. But the vast majority of people there just want a happy life, to feel respected and proud. And I guarantee on Sunday most of them will be glued to television sets for England's game, and will cheer Kane's goal with whoever is with them, black white or brown.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

I think Serial genuinely loves diversity and that's good for him. May he long exist in it.

But I don't think he gets it and Serial, I think you can rightly be accused of flogging crap about majority allegiance to Britain/England in foreign communities.

The future ahead is going to be a troubled one.
