The photo says it all, doesn't it? I'd love to see this on the front of the Birmingham Mail, just to remind us all of who the Council invited into our City last night. Here are some people/public bodies who could make a real difference in stopping any future fascist trouble in Brum and HnH need to get on side. The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Dr. Mohammed Naseem, Chairman, Birmingham Central Mosque The Birmingham Mail/Birmingham Post/Sunday Mercury The Anglican and Catholic Bishops of Birmingham Professor Carl Chinn, popular local historian contactable through Birmingham University Any City Centre Residents Associations Local community radio stations Aston FM, Unity FM and NewStyle Radio and The Ramadhan Foundation. We must mobilise all these people together with the opposition group on the Council before any more damage is done.

The key decisions seem to be taken by Conservative Party councillors who show no interest in opposing racism, homophobia and violent football hooliganism. I hope David Cameron takes firm action against these dinosaurs, for the worry is, if the Conservative Party win the elections, will all of the recently equality policies be watered down to appease bigotry within the majority white population. If the next government takes the same attitude as the "hard right" Birmingham Conservative councillors, the country will rapidly descend into early 80s race riots, and the whole country will be back to where it started from, and all of this will happen without the jackboots of the BNP. Saturday's highly-organised racist football hooligan violence by the EDL Casuals was wholly unavoidable, and the local authority would have both protected the public and their own police officers safety through swift and decisive banning action, but certain key members of the council seem to be living in the dark ages before multiculturalism, and are more than happy to turn a dangerous blind eye to violent facsism, the likes of which you see regularly under Burlesconi's rightwing coalition in Italy, but shouldn't expect to see in the streets of the progressive, mostly non-racist Great Britain!
