Tory MP Anna Soubry and Labour MP Gloria de Piero on the Andrew Marr Show discussed "soft bigotry" against working class people and "why do they hate us so much?": http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0080bbs
One of the biggest issues in society is the way in which ordinary people are denied their cultural identity.
For Muslims the reaction among some of their people is to go overseas and join Islamic State.
Among English working class people the suppression of cultural identity is just as profound. However it is being experienced as a "reduction of self-confidence... and self-criticism and despair about their future". How soon before this mutates into a more serious reaction?
I hope Anna Soubry and Gloria de Piero think their unspoken agreement to maintain multiculturalism is worth it.
The human cost of maintaining this ideological charade is enormous.
And if anyone doubts whether the situation could turn violent, consider the amount of violence that is already taking place. Suicide levels among young white men are at alarming levels. If this inwardly-directed violence were to turn outwards it would shock everyone.
