Shock poll shows rising tide of right-wing nationalism
The Daily Mirror ^ | February 27, 2011 | Vincent Moss

Almost half the country would back a new right-wing party that vowed to crack down on immigration and Islamic extremists, a shock poll reveals today.

They would also restrict the ­building of mosques and order the flag of St George or the Union Jack be flown on all public buildings.

The revelations will spark fresh fears of racial tension in Britain amid a new wave of support for extreme right-wing parties like the British National Party and the English Defence League.

Findings of the survey, the largest of its kind and involving 5,054 people, are in a major report called Fear and Hope – the New Politics of Identity, which examines views on race, ­immigration and multi-culturalism. Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband and campaigning left-wing MP Jon Cruddas will officially unveil the report, produced for the ­Searchlight Education Trust, tomorrow.

Never heard the mention of "oppressors" and "colonialists" used much before Obama.

You haven't? Then you must not have owned a TV or read a history textbook since 1965 then.

My prediction for England. The muzzies go too far with multiple terror attacks and Prince Harry..not William, drives them into the Atlantic.

Yup, don't watch much TV and haven't seen a history textbook since 62'. I shudder to think what the current American History textbooks look like. Do they even teach American History anymore?

It most likely is.

But, it will take far longer than the doommongers here predict.

The U.S. might be “gone” before then.

And what is gone anyhow?

Being under hostile rule?

Some might argue you are there already.

We’re definitely under hostile rule here. But that’s what the voters decided. So we’re stuck with it at least until ‘12.

I guess by my snippy remark, that good folks across the Atlantic should stick together.

Let’s not uselessly snipe at each other.

We are in this together I feel.

Let’s have each other’s back.

I’ll have yours :-)

Cheers.
