Are racism and unemployment a fall out of the struggling economy?

Posted by: Jaime Steele

I am critically aware that this is an extremely sensitive subject matter but one that needs to be discussed.

On Radio 5 Live this morning the headline news was that 115 Romanians were forced to flee their homes and take refuge in a local church in my home town of Belfast. As you will all know we are not strangers to trouble in Belfast but it appears more and more to be targeted towards immigrants.

The next news story featured was unemployment… Britain's unemployment expected to reach a 12-year high of 2.27m.

Are racist attacks on immigrants a symptom of unemployment?

Did the BNP win 2 MEP seats because of the MP expenses scandal?

Food for thought this morning.
