[Matthew]

I am half-English but grew up abroad, so I think I’m fairly impartial on this matter and see both sides of the argument. I don’t think Brits are more racist than other European nations, but there IS a nasty xenophobia in public discourse. The sad thing about Britain is that the tabloids here are very influential, very popular and they ARE extraordinarily crass. They do feed a constant stream of rubbish into public life which takes the breath away if you are not used to it. I am endlessly shocked by the way even half-clever papers like London’s Evening Standard constantly use offensive language to refer to asylum seekers, and the Labour party will not fight that. Some of the worst offenders here belong to Mr R.Murdoch of New York by the way.
