There's so much hate crime in UK now it makes me embarrassed to admit to being a Brit. It's only this latest generation too. The Nanny State that Britain is becoming is partially to blame for this. In my day a belt to the arse was enough to deter most kids from doing wrong. Now kids are suing their parents for disciplining them. Sad indeed.

I grew up friends with a Pakistani boy - Manza Mowla - great kid. His dad was very clever - maths teacher I think. They were the only 'non-white' family in town. Manza was 'different' but kids back then only saw 'different', not "Paki" or any onther derogatory name. Why can't we all just get along?
