What a strange thing
it
is to stand in a street in Britain asking someone if they know of a white family
living in the neighbourhood. This is liberal, multi-cultural Britain of the
early 21st century, after all, not apartheid South Africa. One would imagine
that people of all races in this country mix, to some extent at least, in all
towns and cities. But this is Blackburn (pictured), in central Lancashire, a
prime candidate for the title of Britain's most racially segregated community.
The young lady answering the query is British-Pakistani and says politely that
she thinks the white family live in the house with the Ford car outside, writes
NEIL TWEEDIE. Meanwhile, Angry Muslim groups hit back last night after a
government report said deepening segregation along race and religious lines had
fuelled extremism and child sex abuse. Mail.
