""It is pathetic that racism exist but is it really learned at the knees of fathers? No.""

Emphatically YES! It was the fathers of kids just like these, who stood in the street hurling vile abuse at terrified children who had to pass them to get to school.

Wonderful role models, they surely give Combat18 and the like a bloody good head start.

I have very firm ideas about a number of subjects, but I spent most of the time my kids were growing giving them BOTH sides of every story, and encouraging them to make up their own minds.

The BNP could try to convert either of them, but they would be wise to bring some bodyguards with them.
