Here in Britain there's currently a big issue in Islamaphobia. With the British empire came a lot of post-war immigration to Britain from across the world including territories in South Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.) Not to mention other major events which lead to further immigration to Britain (The Iranian Reovlution, The Gulf War) and it's scary to me that the current wave of intolerance seems to be becoming incresingly mainstream (certainly some of the newspapers don't seem to be helping...)

This Is England is an excellent film, one of my all time favorites. This may be an oxymoron but I am a huge supporter of the EDL...
