[Note:This contains 'bad' speculation - but it is true that 'racists'-
neo-Nazis are forming trans/pan European network - reported by BBC,
somewhere in the last year. ]
Interestingly enough - I don't see much coverage about BNP and NF -
some media programs started in depth coverage about Asian youth...
Maybe 'wicked' Channel 4 may soon do it. If any, let's share resource.
Traditionally English society has been always with its 'lowest',
probably marginalised part. Before they start to take immigrants -
it's been split between/among whites. It's a traditional thing,
low literacy, rudeness, vandalism and so on.
So I would say there is an indigenous neglect and blindness toward
problem - the root cause is located in 'indigenous' people's
traditional blind spot area. (So in this case how 'culturally aware' CR
can work?)
And probably recently things started to move in a little bit of
complexion. Now you have different people joined in that 'lower' and
marginalised or segregated part -
But do never forget that it was provoked by marginalised whites -
and we need to see how other whites, middle class, and upper class
whites would respond to it - of course we need to see how wealthy
muslims and so on would respond - and we have other minorities too,
Jamaican and Chinese people (Foot and mouth/rumor of 'smuggled chinese
meat' and recent soya sauce thing)
So if it is possible - we need to think of 'entire' picture - a vision
for 'whole' of England, future picture for whole England - while
looking at issues of Bradford - or marginalised whites.
It takes a while - or it could be hardest thing to be achieved,
as far as I see, 'white society' - middle and upper - itself is
terribly internally spilitting - it's not functioning as 'a culture'
or a mechanism which responsively react, argue and implement solutions
at each step of changes of their own society. It seems it's been long
in this way.
If middle-upper whites cannot make space for those marginalised whites
and segragated minorities - those marginalised and segragated ones
themselves need to open up space for their own solutions -
(that's 'sweet and comfortable' tactics for middle and upper whites
too - now they do not need to deal with the poor).
I felt some Asian/Muslim community leaders are thinking in this way -
you cannot ask on middle and upper white English people - they are too
distant from those segragated/marginalised people's ground.
If this is the only path - it requires to think things in relatively
newer way.
And my speculation,
some said, 'Extremists', right wings in Europe are forming
transnational coalition networks - esp within Europe. So the next exit
for escalation is Anti-Semitism - it's billiard ball - w>m>j
[germany- turky and israel is basically in good relationship -
central asian muslims do not have vengeace against jewish people
they are very welcoming Israel investment]
throwing rocks and bricks - have I ever saw it elsewhere before?
and I know there are guys in the school, sending mails - about
Palestine - writing 'Let's not forget about our brothers and sisters in
suffering'
Proxy. (and upper to middle whites 'stiff upper lips' will remain
'unscratched' again.)
There is a word, 'complex' - but we are not only making our society
'complex' - we are making it 'difficult' so probably we need to be
prudent - if we miss time to react quick enough - then we really fail
to recognise our lack of capacity and the need of 'speed' -
but in England - I only see traditional or indigenous blindness or
neglect.
It will require another 2 or 3 painful turns for English to understand
what the problem is - and how it may grow.
I only can wish UN and Brussels are smarter than Westminster(remote
and brainless) and Bradford council(only be able to corrupt).
