Not sure if it's always been this way but there does seem to be an alarming amount of racism/xenophobia in our once great nation these days. I say once great country as, as far as I'm concerned, this is something that shames Britain, and a country in shame cannot exactly be called great!
Some things I've seen online these past few days, deliberately designed to bait people into believing that only non white/Christians are the persecutors of brutality are truly hypocritical, ill informed and just plain disgusting.
The tragedy of the refugees last weekend has brought an appalling amount of inhumanity, vileness, hate, racism, ignorance, fascism, nazism all of which surmised in a small, but seemingly growing rise of neo-nazism in the uk. Now I know this country has had it's spates of that with Moseley, Powell, Farage, Griffin etc but they usually disappear back under the rock as soon as they've realised they've made twats of themselves (with the exclusion of farage who doesn't seem capable of grasping the fact he's well past that), however there's an alarming amount of hate spewing nazis online these days, undermining everything that once made this country great!
What made Britain great for me was that this country was a haven for those that wanted a chance, somewhere opportunity live a multicultural haven, not the place that hates everything not white, or doesn't fit into their narrow viewpoint. It's people like that that make me truly ashamed to be British these days.
Now I know that ukip will disappear the way of bnp, but sadly there's always someone ready to take on the mantle of fuhrer claiming to stand up what they think Britishness is, without even the slightest understanding of what Britishness actually is!
