I think you'd appreciate - if so, good to know what you think.

On the same day as the anti-racist rally at the weekend, thugs broke into a house occupied by Pakistani men and assaulted one of them. Jamaicans have also been targeted. The comments from the pastor and First Minister inflame racism, legitimise hostility and reinforce "othering". Why don't they tackle poverty, austerity policies and the roots of housing and employment problems? Why don't they rail against the super rich and condemn the concentration of wealth at the top, the billionaires, the tax dodgers, and so on? They come on like snake-oil salesmen.<br />Madam Miaowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237951918529887305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244044300216345080.post-63068131195092171882014-06-02T11:20:39.537+01:002014-06-02T11:20:39.537+01:00I like your blog.

However, many black African Christians are being murdered for their faith. There might be a racist issue there. I must declare an interest. I campaigned against apartheid and have recently been supporting the indigenous people of South Africa who are being exploited by multi national companies engaged in bio-prospecting.
