Anecdotes? I have never worked in West Bute Street but I have seen many examples of overt racism. I was at college with a guy who was in the BNP (Chelsea fan) who constantly reminisced about beating up "pakis" in Southall. Utterly vile. Don't tell me there is no racism in the UK.

Have you heard of "institutionalized" racism? It's difficult to "see" but it's pervasive. How do you intend to intervene?
