ALL TOO COMMON, IN FACT "The House of Commons, held up as a beacon of democracy, has a 'dirty little secret', according to black MPs - its racism. Dawn Butler, only the third black woman ever to have become an MP, said she faced such frequent racism from politicians of all parties that she had to 'pick her battles' to avoid being constantly in conflict with her colleagues. … 'I thought people in Parliament would be progressive. It is still a shock that they are not,' she said. … In an article written for the Fawcett Society's new collection of essays, Seeing Double: Race and Gender in Ethnic Minority Women's Lives, Butler describes how former Tory minister David Heathcote-Amory confronted her as she went to sit in the members' section on the terrace. 'He actually said to me: 'What are you doing here? This is for members only.'"

The Tories are against anything that doesn't have 300 years of residence tattooed on it.
During Margret Thatcher's reign, many Britons White Brown and Black left England in disgust of her policies, popular destinations were Australia, South Africa and the Caribbean. some promising never to return until Thatcher leaves office.
During her time England moved from a socialist bent country to a racist anti-immigrant, Anglo-Saxon only-allowed culture.
Unfortunately PM Gordon Brown incompetence will allow the Tories back in power.
No matter how disliked PM Tony Blair was for the Iraq war decision, he was able to put together a multi-cultural Labour Party, one that the UK can be proud of.
so agree with TruthTeller.
UK's parliamentary system is a good one. and there is no better edutainment on Sunday nights at 9:30 ET (C-Span).
