Has anybody heard about the recent racially motivated slaying of a black boy in England? below is an article about it.

I fear these kind of attacks are becoming far too common nowadays. Europe is becoming more and more unsettled and politicians more openly racist.

I know, but what with the recent developments in Europe, the lection of the late Pim Fortuyn in Holland, the fact that Jean-Marie LePen came second place in the French presidentil election for the first time, the far right freedom party in Austria, the rising of Vlaams Blok in Belgium, and far right parties in Denmark are somewhat alarming.

Bro i know what you suffered was bad but it was not as bad as randomly and brutally murdering someone.

Hope your family is coping ok with all them chavs.

the political cultures are different in britan to that of continental Europe.

The First past the post electoral system in the Uk mostly guarentees that a far right partywould not get into power.

Although there are rascist attacks i dont think it is any more than a few years ago...it may just be that it is more reported now, especially since 9/11...just how muslim terrorism is widely reported now, but wasnt before 9/11

I think that any event is now seen as racially motivated. There was a kid i knew who got into a fight with a greek kid and got beaten.

He said that greeks were bullying him because greeks were the majority in the school.

Its hard to see when something is racially motivated these days.
