At first i was surprised to see that the BBC would even run such a story ... but who are the assailants?! Not a dicky bird. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Youtube video is a report by the BBC of 'racial' attacks on the residents of Bury. Groups have attacked the homes and lifes of both Christian black and white families who have lived there for over 50 years, one even on Christmas eve. Just a coincidence that Luton borough has of the largest populations of Muslim in the UK.

I searched for other coverage of these attacks dj, but couldn't find any reference to them. Do we actually know that it was Muslims who were targeting these people or is it just conjecture? I'm sure you and I both don't want to accuse falsely, and there are certainly enough home grown yobos who might have done this, especially if they had been drinking. It might well be that it was Muslims, but we fall in danger of becoming like those extremists all across the board if we jump the gun without real evidence However, there is a story that the BBC has failed to cover, concerning the Armistice Day Silence yesterday at the Cenotaph. According to the BBC articles and broadcasts that I found on their site, it appears they are not aware of a group of extremist Muslims who used the 'silence' to burn a giant poppy, and yelled for "British soldiers to die in hell. However the Daily Mail and Telegraph, for examples, didn't miss it. What is blindingly obvious from 2 of the pictures included in the Daily Mail article is just who the BBC serves out of their licence fee by this kind of purposeful skewing of the news in our country. Guess Who? Dignity and deference, violence and venom: Jonny Osborne gives a salute at the Cenotaph yesterday while, three miles away, members of Muslims Against Crusaders burnt a giant poppy
Update: OK I have found an article on the BBC website about this incident but the focus is more on the actions of the EDL who were countering the Muslim protesters. EDL founder charged with Muslim poppy protest assault

Your 100% correct. But Luton as a sizeable Pakistani/Bangledeshi population, the fact that both white and black people were targeted, sort of implies that the other group where 'most probably' at least Asian (in a broad term). As the BBC have called this racial it had to be another race. The BBC often blocks out reports of Islamic extremism which draws me to this conclusion. Seems a VERY strange to report on something and then not even mention who it could POSSIBLY be. Even the people being interviewed, absolutely no mention of who they think it is. Had people attacked some Muslim houses i'm sure blame would be put at right wing groups at the very least. But don't worry i wont 'jump the gun' like call for anyones death at least ;D www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1161855/Britons-HATE-Britain-The-Muslim-extremists-hell-bent-segregation-integration.html
