Exactly.

Don't assume that racism exists only towards those living in the far reaches of Europe and beyond. It's much closer to home than you may think.

There was barely a black or Asian person to be seen ( I could count them on the fingers of one hand), a few Eastern European accents to be heard, but many UKIP posters in evidence. I love the coast and the scenery, but I'm always glad to be back home, where I have Asian neighbours who I get along well with, swap produce with, and chat to, and where I can go shopping and hear different languages and accents, and see women wearing the burka, niqab or hijab without anyone batting an eyelid.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-37787547569608753262014-05-24T07:56:05.402+00:002014-05-24T07:56:05.402+00:00I think most politicians are in the job for money ...I think most politicians are in the job for money and kudos.
