have you read anything about imigrants suing councils because they

living in dreamland if you think that


No, I'm not. 20 seconds on google reveals:

"Even when the housing search process is the same, real estate
brokers and lenders often treat a minority home buyer differently
from others.  A 1988 housing audit by the Urban Institute found
that 59 percent of black home buyers and 56 percent of Hispanic
home buyers encountered discrimination when searching for a home.
In the audit, trained pairs of individuals—one white, one
minority—matched according to every relevant factor (income,
credit, etc.) except race, were sent to real estate agencies at
close intervals to pose as home seekers. When the treatment of
these individuals was compared, it was found that blacks and
Hispanics were more likely than whites to be told no housing was
available in their price range. They were also steered to different
neighborhoods and were less likely to receive information or
assistance in completing the housing transaction."



So you have something in a different country from 17 years ago.  How
does that relate to local councils in England & Wales?


Do you think human nature does not span across the Atlantic?


Do you think you can even begin to compare the treatment of slaves and
then the later segregation in the USA with Britain? 

You should really look into the involvement of Liverpool's ports in the
slave trade. It really is something you should be aware of.



I'm well aware of it, thank you.  Are you saying that this meant there was
the same level (historically and recently) of maltreatment and segregation
within Britain that existed (and exists) in the USA?

I would say that, combined with the treatment of natives by British settlers in countries such as Australia and New Zealand, would mean that they can at least be compared. While the discrimination against minorities in the last 50-100 years may not have been as explicit as in the USA, it is still not anything to be proud of, and such discrimination still occurs. There would be no BNP if this was not the case.
