Subject: RE: RACISM in British Folk Movement
Hester, I just went back and read Befuddled's comments, and yours too.
He seems only concerned that British institutions are changing to accomodate immigrants who want to bring their problems with them. He makes no reference to race, (and anyone who thinks the British peoples were ever racially pure is sadly misinformed,) merely to the abject and sycophantic attitude of people who are eager to accomodate the bigotry that the immigrants bring.
I'm sure that anyone living in Britain can cite screeds of examples, like the one in Leicester where a womans collection of pottery pigs was confiscated by the police after complaints from Muslims. That even made the papers here in NZ.
You, Hester, attacked him virulently and personally. He may not be politically correct in your eyes, but he seems reasonably well-mannered and able and willing to explain his views. I would suggest YOU restain YOUR bigotry.   Chris Marden.
