Today is the day of the local elections here in the UK, and tomorrow I'll find how poorly we did. Why am I pessimistic? Let me explain.

Over the last ten years bad feeling towards foreign nationals and immigrants has been on the increase (thanks, once again, to Tony's incompetence), and the tabloid press has been fanning the flames with stories about how "easy" immigrants have been having it over here, and how lenient the law been on "them" and hard on "us".
This has caused the politically correct to go into overdrive, so now we're hearing stories along the lines of; the rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep has been banned from nurseries because of racial connotations, and that one school has even banned Hot cross buns so as not to offend Muslims and so on. This has made things even worse.
And not pre-election polls suggest that the racist political organization, the British National Party (BMP), could get a lot of the votes. And this was before the revelation that one hundred immigrants who had committed serious crimes were accidentally released and not deported, some of who have re-offended.

It's feels like this country is on the backslide and that racism will become more and more common, I just hope that I'm wrong and that this is all down to me feeling gloomy.
