Well campaigning against asylum seekers seems pretty rascist to me, and rascism to me is highly asscociated with the right wing end of the political spectrum. And you have no right to accuse anyone of trolling Matadore.
Putting a limit on asylum numbers is hardly the same as preaching racist hate messages against Jews and Blacks.
Anyway thats not the point, the point is British governments, through successful race lesislation have done much to halt racism in the UK when compared with Continental nations.
They did nothing to distinguish between immigrants and refugees though, knowing full well thet that groups of the public wouldnt question the considerable difference between them.
And btw, I do not, nor ever have dwelt in an ivory tower. I have however lived in France for two years and whilst I witnessed acts of racism, they were no more aggregious nor widespread than what one could easily cite the MET for perpetrating against ethnic minorities (or any number of high profile race hate crimes in recent years years) in the UK.
I happen to currently reside in predominantly Moslem quarter of Brussels and again have seen selective incidents of apparent racism but nothing akin to the sort of nightmare to which Mat wishes to continuing subscribing.
As for Gays and Lesbians (the original point of this thread), there is more insitutionalised tolerance in Europe than I have ever seen in my own country, which fraudulently hails itself "the land of the free".
Racial discrimination is illegal in every single European country I can think of. What on earth are you on about?
Because they have stolen their ideas for themselves, perhaps?
