          Also not forgetting that the film was based just after the falklands where people dress like that as norm, even though most of them wern't part of the NF (national front).
          The film was based after the Falklands war? So why are they attacking Asians not Argentines? You make it sound like UK is not at all a racist place where everyone is equal and no-one is mistreated.

          I just dont understand why some British people say they dont dislike Khan because of his color, But they dislike him for being a "****". Without explaining exactly why they think that. Arrogant? He has every right to be arrogant, If I was an olympic silver medalist at 17, World Champion at 22, And a Multi-Millionaire hanging out in Hollywood with De La Hoya, Pac-Man, Roach and co. I think it would get to me aswell. But Khan has always said he is "the boy from bolton".

          Can you please answer me this: What is British national identitiy? There is no such thing as British, Its a blanket term that covers Scottish, English, Irish, Welsh and the minorites are called racial slurs like we seen in those clips.

            BNP - The Truth About Immigration



            BNP leader Nick Griffin wants Bolton-born Olympic boxing hero Amir Khan to leave Britain.

            Griffin - whose party wants to create 'firm incentives' for non-white Britons to leave their homeland - dismissed claims that the policy would strip the country of talent.

            Referring to Khan, he added: "Perhaps we will lose one good boxer but there are more important things."




            Khan - who has spoken out against Islamic extremism and walked out behind the Union Flag for his professional debut - was born and raised in Bolton.

            His cousin, Saj Mahmood, plays cricket for Lancashire and England.

            The 22-year-old boxer once said: "I've always felt completely British. I loved making the British people happy in Athens [where he won Olympic silver], and I still do.

            "Those of us from different ethnic backgrounds, like Lewis Hamilton and myself, are carrying the flag for Britain by doing our thing, being ourselves and wanting to become world champions."

            His dad, Shah Khan, said: "At the end of the day I think everyone should be treated equally - regardless of the colour of their skin."

            The BNP is targeting the north west of England as it seeks to win a seat in the European elections next month.

            Griffin - who was convicted in 1998 of distributing material likely to incite racial hatred - is the party's top candidate in our region.

            During his trial he dismissed the Holocaust as 'Allied wartime propaganda' - a view he claims to have recanted.

            In a broadcast put on the BNP's website this week, Griffin told supporters he had 'no problem' breaking race laws.

            "We don't break the law," he said. "We never have, we never will, on financial things.

            "Don't mind breaking the odd race law, or being accused of it, you know, inadvertently."

            The BNP's policies would not just see 'one good boxer' pushed out of the country.

            Football stars such as Rio Ferdinand and Shaun Wright-Phillips would also be 'encouraged' to leave - along with thousands of successful Black and Asian Britons from all walks of life.

            Labour MP Frank Field and Conservative Nicholas Soames have teamed up to encourage the mainstream parties to tackle legitimate concerns about immigration.


            People are deeply and justifiably concerned about how immigration is changing our country
            Nicholas Soames


            The two men are spearheading a campaign for a 'balanced' policy. That would mean the total number of people allowed to settle in the country would be brought into line with the numbers leaving.

            In a letter to the MEN, the MPs said: "Our concern is that the issue that is bothering many people right across the country, and especially in England, is immigration - and the beneficiaries will be the BNP.

            "On immigration, there is now a dangerous political vacuum. Terrified of being accused as 'racists', politicians from the main political parties have shied away from talking honestly about what is happening to our country. And so enters, stage right, the loathsome BNP, hissing hate.

            "People are deeply and justifiably concerned about how immigration is changing our country.

            "Does this mean that immigration is a bad thing? Of course not. For centuries immigrants, arriving in small numbers, have made a disproportionate contribution to our society, and many thousands continue to do so.

            "But making the case for immigration becomes much harder as immigration on today's enormous scale puts increasing pressure on our public services and - more worryingly - on our society.

            "The time has come for the main party leaders to wake up to this challenge, and say how they will stop our population hitting 70 million and even 80 million in mid century.

            "The British public are deeply concerned about the impact of uncontrolled immigration: millions of people live with the consequences every day.

            "Many are anxious, fearful and ready to send a signal in June's elections. Silence from Messrs Brown, Cameron and Clegg is not an option - simply a recruiting sergeant for the BNP."

            I cannot believe Nick Griffin is on a Boxing forum, why is this chimpanzee being mentioned on this forum? I understand that its part of the thread but I think race is being spoken about far to much on this site
