Yeah, I'm pretty much with Jumpy on this one. There is an easy trend for those who are unemployed or down the...shall we say...lower end of the class spectrum (because let's face it, the UK is still a class society even after a decade of New Labour) to blame all their woes on 'those bloody foreigners, coming over here, stealing all our jobs' and of course, 'those bloody foreigners' extends to anyone who isn't of white skin, even if they were born in the UK and their parents were born in the UK. It's a sad state of affairs, but despite the best efforts of millions of pounds worth of equal rights campaigns, it's a state of affairs that persists and will continue to persist as the prejudice is passed down from generation to generation.
The BNP knows this, and it is not above exploiting it, although its latest pamphlet is a barrel of laughs, apparently the Spitfire on it was flown by a Polish squadron, the elderly couple are Italian and the chap on it is American
