Good on ya Sab... it's just a shocking shame he's been elected.
I abhor the BNP and its skewed nationalist politics, there are too many people being blindly led into making bad connections and wrong conclusions.
By the way I've worked in a lot of schools in different parts of the country with different demographics and that's not the norm Pure in my experience, far from it... many cultural traditions are alive and well (take Maypole dancing for one!)There's a lot of reasons for the diluting of "traditional" British culture, not least the media (old and new) and ongoing fascination with the culture of the US (I blame gangsta rap ... joking). The hi-jacking of national symbols by the far-right hasn't helped.
Having said that I do agree that superstardb is probably not the place for in depth political discussions, it's too easy to read things into things that aren't there...
Right, gonna go and flip some laces...
