Four out of ten arabs do not want Kilroy-Silk as a neighbour |

White people make me sick: "Four out of 10 whites do not want black neighbour, poll shows".
For me, the most telling paragraph is:
Surveys 10 years ago showed anxiety about "freeloading" by lone parents and the unemployed, but now asylum seekers are the focus of resentment. Among lower socio-economic classes the feeling they are losing out rises above 50%.
A decade ago, the tabloid newspapers, in partnership with the Tory government, were calling for the hanging/shooting/thrown-into-a-pit-of-wild-paedophiles of scrounging, skanky single mothers and doleys but now it is all "bloody johnny foreigner steals our jobs and women" and "what did the arabs do for us?". Isn't it strange how public opinion has, completely coincidentally, moved in the same way? |
