As for where I'd live likely away from people I've had enough of flats I want solitude so it wouldn't be among the Brits on the coast.
We are talking about communities...not neighbours in a block of flats.

I agree with you. It is really scary how the atrocity of last week, has brought to the surface underlying racism in such a graphic way!

No one listened to our concerns over Europe. No one is listening to our concerns over immigration.

And you think that is an unusual reaction to the slaughter of innocent people?

It may not be right but it's understandable.

Communities are made up of neighbours, of single people and families. Each good neighbour contributes toward a decent and peaceful community.

If we all did our bit and stopped allowing people to speak so hatefully on both sides we could all live together.

Even if people have a point about that, which I don't think they do, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for racism, which is EVIL!

I am so fortunate to live in a neighbourhood where we have very good neighbours, as of course we try to be too.

I thought racism was illegal, the police need to crack down on racist bigots, who are only adding fuel to ISIS flames!

That would NOT stop the murder of innocent people.

What did you do to stop the rantings of Abhu Hamza and his ilk?

What did anyone do?

Those that dared(non-Muslim) speak out against him were accused of being Anti-Islam, Islamaphobic and racist.

Disgusting.

Racism is no more evil than bullying a fat kid or abusing animals. Do you agree that the terrorists are racists?
