Some hate you because of your nationality and the UK's past history. Some because of your culture, your religion (presumed) or your ethnicity. Cheer up! They probably hate Americans more.

Oh I have.
Our freedom is being eroded by others who want their kind of 'freedom' resulting in greater powers for government agencies.
Our tolerance is being destroyed by those whom we are supposed to be tolerant off.

Well, she has a colourful dress. Less sure on the sense bit.

Applying for jobs having to prove your nationality and overcoming positive discrimination. You wouldn't know much about that though.

Quite ridiculous. And calculated too I'd like to bet. She was accused of being a 'South London Sepp Blatter'! Seems like she started off right but got too big for her boots and lost control.

Not a massive concern in bolton I'd say.
The freedom to criticise certain Muslim community leaders for their isolationist attitudes that provide a cocoon for crackpots to get together and plan to lop people's heads off because they only see one narrow way of life as right and worthy?
