The Pakistani ,who was 20yrs old was found guilty yesterday of "racially aggravated murder".
First conviction for this crime in Scotland.
He acted with three others in the abduction and murder. The three have still to be arrested as far as I know.

Im old enough to remember Enoch Powells "rivers of blood" speech, And how it virtually ended his political career.
Maybe he was more far seeing than most of us realised at the time.
I was a member of the Young Communists at that time and we spent a lot of energy campaigning against what we percieved as blatant racism.

Looking back now I can see Powell was sincere in what he said, and had the courage to sacrifice his career for his beliefs.
How many of todays politician would do that?

I still dont agree with what Powell said, but given how the different ethnic communities in Britain are just not integrating, I cant argue with his foresight.

Religious and cultural ideologies are the biggest problem,a problem which is compounded by religious teaching in schools and the new labour abomination "faith schools"

Religion should be kept out of education all together, and faith schools banned forthwith.
It is we, the older generation ,who instill racism and bigotry in our children....Ake
